Great tour by Alex(andre) - very knowledgeable on the history and architecture of the cathedral. We learnt and observed things that we would not have without his guidance
Cam was excellent! Knowledge and friendly, and well prepared. Highly recommend her.
The tour was very good. Our guide Kam was very knowledgeable so it proved to be a very educational tour while being fun at the same time. Kam was energetic and helpful throughout. I would highly recommend her.
Go first thing in the morning and the inside is easy with no wait and your guide will then walk you through all the history after your 30 minute inside visit.
Kam was a very pleasant lady to meet and she was very patient and explained thoroughly about the Cathedral events ( before and after the fire). She was very friendly with the kids and made us laugh a lot too. Would recommend her always.
Kam was very friendly, highly knowledgeable, very good with the kids and made the story come alive, will definitely recommend her and revisit
The tour guide made the visit. She was awesome. I wish she could have accompanied us inside, but I understand why she couldn’t. The guide was still well worth the money.
Kam was an excellent tour guide. Adjusted the content to what we were interested in. Very knowledgeable and get fun facts that keeps the kids engaged.
Super informative. Our guide Sylvia had tons of information and engaged well with our whole family.
My tour with Lady E was amazing! I would highly recommend booking with her, especially if it's your first time visiting Paris. She made the experience both fun and educational, sharing interesting insights while keeping the tour engaging from start to finish. It was a great introduction to the city, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide.
