NOTRE DAME with Barbara is a must!
Our guide, Barbara from Brazil was the BEST. Very friendly, cheerful, informative. Made it a very fun experience. She said she was a former teacher and we could tell she was probably the best at that, too. She was excited to share her knowledge of ND and we loved that! Thank you for a wonderful time!

10/10. Our guide is...
10/10. Our guide is incredibly knowledgeable and a delight. We walked around Notre dame for about 45 minutes and then silently walked through for another 20 or so.

Amazing tour of Notre Dame!
Our tour guide Barbara was fantastic! She made the cathedral come alive with her superior knowledge of history and architecture and was very friendly on top of it. 5 stars!

Limited ability to explain the interior of ND
Our guide Claudia showed up very late. We were not notified nor did we have a way to get in touch with anyone to find out what was happening. She apologized and we started the tour. She told us that guides are not allowed to talk inside Notre Dame-silence/quiet is enforced inside the church. Prior to going in, she explained the history of the exterior of ND. Showed pictures of the interior and explained them. The church is very crowded. Upon exiting, she then proceeded to explain more things that we saw. We lost 1/3 of the group because they got separated from the group. Because guides are not allowed to explain things, it is really all about walking thru ND. The tour would be much better suited to wearing headphones that explain what you’re seeing. Using a guide for the interior is pointless

An excellent guide
The meeting point was a little away from the cathedral which was advantageous because 1. It was easy to find the group, and 2. We got a beautiful photo opportunity before getting to the cathedral itself. We had been to the cathedral unguided a few days before, but being with a guide made the tour much more interesting. I can’t say enough about our guide, Julie. She was kind, pleasant, and extremely knowledgeable. She augmented the experience with photographs which helped give more details.

Tour Guide No Show
Tour guide did not show up at the designated time. We waited with people for the next time slot as well and also didn’t show. I emailed VIATOR and have not heard back. No apology, explanation or refund.
