Notre Dame in it's restored glory! Such a sacred place even with all the crowds. The history and story of the fire and restoration were inspiring. Our guide was Divan. He was delightful! He brought a lock which he gave my husband so we could add a lock to those on the railings around the church. It was very sweet! My only complaint was no time to go through the ND gift shop.
It was exceptional! Lasson was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Notre Dame and the restoration process. He even showed us photos of the rubble after the fire on his phone so we could see how the restoration was completed with precision and attention to detail. We highly recommend this tour.
Our guide did not show up till 10:30: tour was at 10. Th.en I had purchased a skip the line tour and the tickets did not allow skip the line entry. It was a terrible experience and I paid over $400 for it…. I could not contact anyone to assist and finally someone called and said guide was there - the guide did not know what tour - she thought it was only an outside tour but our tickets clearly said skip the line aces to Notre Dame. Overall very bad experience. And I have yet to hear from company for refund.
Dear Judith_R, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear how disappointing and frustrating this day felt for you. We understand how upsetting it can be when a tour does not unfold as expected, especially in challenging weather conditions. After reviewing your booking, we confirmed that the selected tour option included standard entry rather than skip-the-line access. We regret any confusion regarding this aspect of the experience. Your feedback is appreciated and helps us continue improving the information and support we provide to our guests. Regards, Rosotravel Team
Paul Reza was our guide and his knowledge of Notre Dame and the history and art surrounding the cathedral were wonderful. He gave us time to take it all in before going into the spiel about the cathedral and its history.
Michelle was a great tour guide. We got to see Notre Dame and got to learn so much. It was the exact amount of time needed to do the tour.
Marine was an amazing and enthusiastic tour guide. She is very knowledgeable about all of the stops on the tour. And she suggested a great restaurant for hot chocolate that we turned into a superb lunch
Dear Charles_T, Thanks for your kind review. We’re so pleased to hear that Marine made your tour engaging and enjoyable with her knowledge and energy. It’s great to know her recommendation added an extra special touch to your day... those local insights are an important part of the experience we strive to provide. We truly appreciate your feedback and would be happy to welcome you again on another Rosotravel tour soon. Regards, Rosotravel Team
Marine was very knowledgable and an excellent guide! We learned a lot and had a wonderful walk thru the cathedral
Dear Shaun_T, Thanks for your kind words! We love hearing that Marine’s expertise turned your visit into such a meaningful experience. Discovering Notre-Dame with the right storyteller truly makes all the difference. We hope to explore more of Paris with you again soon. Regards, Rosotravel team
I was never refunded. We waited in the cold, called and waited on hold to speak to Rosotravel Customer Service in Poland. While waiting, we also reached out via the link provided in the confirmation email. Rosotravel said they would refund us because they had the wrong meeting point at Le Kiosque des noctambules, 12 Pl. Colette, 75001 Paris, France instead of the status of Charlemagne for our "Skip-the-line Notre-Dame Cathedral, Louvre, Paris City Tour" on 27 December. This was waste of two precious vacation hours in the cold, cell phone roaming charges, and $156 US Dollars. We were devastated and extremely disappointed after looking forward to this tour for years.
Dear Alex_V, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your Skip-the-line Notre-Dame, Louvre, and Paris City Tour. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait in the cold and deal with the incorrect meeting point, especially after looking forward to this tour for years. We are actively processing your refund of $156 USD and will ensure it is resolved promptly. Your feedback is important to us and helps improve our communication and operational procedures so that future guests can enjoy a seamless experience. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smooth and memorable Rosotravel experience on a future visit. Warm regards, The Rosotravel Team
This was an absolute terrible experience and is essentially a fraud. The tour guide arrived 30 minutes late because he was told a different meeting location than us by the local operator. When he finally arrived he proceeded to tell us there is no skip the line presently for notre dame and that I should reach out to the operator for a refund (mind you the only reason we even bought the tour in question for over $120 per person was to access skip the line entrance). The tour guide then told us that we could still wait in line with him which would take 20 minutes or so. We decided to give it a shot at which point he attempted to cut 3/4 of the line. This resulted in multiple people yelling at our group until we had to leave the line. We decided to separate at this point from the guide and proceeded to wait for over an hour on our own (not the falsely claimed time of about 20 minutes) to enter notre dame. We eventually saw the interior on our own and ended the whole process at about 230. Stay away from this tour at all costs as I am still waiting for a refund.
Dear Boris_K, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your Notre-Dame, Louvre, and Paris City Tour. We understand how frustrating delays and confusion regarding meeting locations and skip-the-line access can be. Please note that our guides always strive to provide accurate information and the best possible experience. Skip-the-line access can sometimes be subject to local restrictions, which are outside the control of the guide or operator. We regret any miscommunication and the resulting delays. Regarding your refund request, our team is actively reviewing your booking and will reach out directly to ensure it is resolved according to our policy. We value your feedback, as it helps us improve communication and ensure that future guests have a seamless experience. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother and more enjoyable Rosotravel experience in the future. Warm regards, The Rosotravel Team
I spent a wonderful time on this tour with my family. It was truly a special experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral and enjoy a short city tour at the same time. It’s a perfect introduction to exploring Paris, combined with a relaxed and fun attraction. Our guide Isabella was very friendly and communicative. The small group made it easy to ask questions, and the atmosphere was pleasant and well organized throughout. Definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful experience and that Isabella made your tour enjoyable and informative. It’s great that the small group setting added to the comfort and ease of the visit.
