Our tour guide was so full of crap… gave us a line of crap for almost every story he told… we passed by hotel de ville in Paris which has a statue of Etienne Marcel in front amd we were told it was Charles De Gaulle .. this is a statue from the 1300s… long story short, we asked about the round pieces of metal in the concrete around notre dame, and we weee told it was to get the metal out of people’s shoes, they were actually the zero km placards at notre dame… we had to fact check everything we were told, coincidence it was 4/2/25 which is national fact check day!!
This was a great walk and talk tour, with a spectacular ending at Notre Dame Cathedral. The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, polite, and overall cool. It was a great experience!
Notre Dame de Paris is more beautiful than ever! Emotion on entering! Everything is beautiful: the baptismal bottoms, the altar, the ultra modern crown of thorns. The Virgin and child, the Pietà, the white, warm walls, a splendor!
As we were waiting at the meeting area in fridged cold weather and no one showed up- I checked my email to get contact information. I found an email that canceled the tour! I am waiting for a full refund.
