Alex, our guide was knowledgeable, personable and very easy to understand. Notre Dame is such a beautiful and big space, one hour covered the highlights.
Monty is the best guide we have seen! Exceptional work!
A light but interesting way to learn more about Notre Dame, including its latest renovation.
David has a great personality which comes through in his interaction during the tour. Very knowledgeable and is able to put all the knowledge he has into spoken word that you can understand. He focused on our interests rather than just following a prepared “script”.
Our visit to Notre-Dame was truly brought to life by an incredible guide. We learned so many fascinating details, and the experience was made all the more special by Rene’s knowledge and passion.
Very informative tour of Notre Dame Cathedral. The guide was very informative. We were enjoyed everything about the tour.
A great experience with an incredibly knowledgeable guide. What a privilege to explore and visit the wonderful renovation of this sacred space.
This was a great experience. Our guide Monty knew his stuff and was enjoyable. He contacted us in advance to reconfirm and was patient with our questions. I’d definitely use him again.
We had a fantastic tour of Notre Dame with John. He was an absolute wealth of information—so knowledgeable about the history of France and incredibly passionate about the cathedral. He pointed out architectural details we never would have noticed on our own, and every explanation added so much depth to the experience. Honestly, we wished we had even more time with him because he had so much to teach. We never would have had the same experience exploring on our own. Highly recommend a tour with John if you want to truly appreciate Notre Dame’s history and beauty.
We truly enjoyed our private tour of Notre-Dame. Our guide was very knowledgeable, obviously passionate about the cathedral’s rich history and secrets… her enthusiasm was contagious!
