Booked a Notre Dame external tour with access to crypt. Finished external tour to be advised that crypt is closed and booking should not have been taken. Guide advised that she would investigate a full refund and notify me asap. I am still waiting.
Sugar was an exceptional guide !
Rita was a great guide. Knowledgeable and fun. Made our time together very informative. Highly recommend this tour
Our tour with Elisabeth was full of very interesting history about Notre Dame’s exterior. Without Elisabeth knowledge we would have missed so much. One disappointment was not getting to the crypts which I had booked. Instead we went to Sainte Chappell. It was very beautiful and interesting though. We were a group of 5 and 3 did not book the crypts.
This is informative about the exterior and history of the church. Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable.
Timmy is wonderful!! The way she explains everything is so mesmerizing and cool. And the cool part is that we can all participate.
Excellent tour, the experience was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided interesting facts about Notre Dame.
