Notre Dame Private and Semi-Private Guided Tour
Description
This is not just an entry to the cathedral — it is a guided understanding of Notre-Dame. The visit begins outside, where your guide explains the façade, sculptures, and Gothic architecture so that, once inside, you recognize what you are seeing instead of simply walking through. You will also learn the full story of the 2019 fire: what burned, what survived, and how the cathedral was rebuilt using traditional techniques. Many visitors leave without knowing which parts are original and which are restored — this tour makes it clear. Groups are limited or private for a comfortable experience, with time for questions and photos. When public access is open, your guide accompanies you inside and highlights the key areas, helping you avoid confusion and make the most of your visit.

Unfortunately, we booked this tour not realizing that August 15th was a very important holy day at Notre Dame cathedral. Our tour guide Sara did a good job showing us around the outside of the cathedral and explaining the restoration after the fire. However, due to the immense crowds, we were unable to access the cathedral. The tour company realized the situation and kindly refunded our money. Rest assured, this is a tour company that puts the satisfaction of the customer as its primary concern.
This tour was an absolute highlight of our multi- country trip. Our tour guide, Ash, was delightful and incredibly knowledgeable about both the history of the cathedral and the renovation following the devastating 2019 fire. The cathedral itself is breathtaking. The insights Ash provided before we went in and the discussion and information after we explored inside were priceless. Amazingly, Ash got us into the cathedral without waiting in line. That was much appreciated on this 99 degree day. Our group gave this four thumbs up.
Our guide was very kind but it was hard for me to understand him with his accent. He spewed a lot of facts from the exterior of Notre Dame and it was information overload… I think if we were able to walk around the exterior, it would’ve been more engaging… Sometimes less is more
Our tour guide brought the amazing history of Notre Dame alive with so many details that would have been missed! She was very knowledgeable and made the experience well worth the visit!
Daniel is awesome! We really enjoyed our tour of Notre Dame. He was very knowledgeable and easy to understand.
On time, professional and a good sense of humor. Spoke to us outside the cathedral about its rich history and continued inside the cathedral. Also showed us best spots for photos!
The one on one interaction gave us a great background on the cathedral and it’s history. Danis was a great tour guide.
Nice tour with company that cares about its customers. Guide was informative and no waiting to enter.
Our guide Madeline did a great job explaining the history of Notre Dame Cathedral, the fire, and the rebuilding of this magnificent cathedral. We started the tour on the outside of this ornate cathedral and then entered the interior. After our tour we paid I think 13 Euros to enter the Treasury rooms that contain cathedral gowns, jewels, and cathedral gifts centuries old. We were quite pleased with our tour.
Everything was wonderful! Thank you so much! My niece was so happy, Private tour was a great experience ! Thank you ,We definitely do it again 😊
