The refurbished edifice is spectacular. The guide was knowledgeable but much of what he said was unintelligible. This tour NEEDS quiet boxes with a good microphone for the guide.
Very glad we booked a tour - it was both informative and entertaining! The small group makes the difference.

Feta was excellent. Very informative
Thank you for your kind review! We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Notre Dame and found Fetah’s commentary informative and helpful.
The tour itself was interesting and informative. However the guide was impatient and in a hurry. We were supposed to be there 15 minutes before. 20 minutes before he was repeat calling and messaging. We were paying our cab. He was loudly telling me that we should’ve able to see the meeting point “right in front of me”. This was a mass of humanity we were navigating. It was rude. We were on time and the tour began ten minutes early. We did our part. He was rushed for some reason.
Hi Cheryl, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are glad you found the tour content interesting, but we are sorry to hear the meeting process felt rushed. While our guides prioritize punctuality to ensure the group clears security checkpoints on time, we aim for a much more welcoming tone than what you described. We have shared your comments with our Paris Operations Manager to ensure our check in process remains professional even during busy times. We are committed to improving and hope to provide a smoother experience for you in the future.
Extremely well-curated tour by extremely well-informed and knowledgeable guide. We had decided to take a tour rather than attempt a tour by ourselves. The guide had a treasure-trove of knowledge which he supplemented with photos on the iPad that he carried with him. We would not hesitate to book a similar tour with him if we chose to return for a second tour.
Hi Francois, thank you so much for the outstanding review! We are delighted that your choice to book a guided tour of Notre Dame paid off so perfectly and that your guide's treasure-trove of knowledge—along with the visual aids on the iPad—made the history truly come alive.

We would be absolutely honored to host you for a second tour on your next visit, so please tell your friends and family to trust The Tour Guy for their holiday plans!
Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and interesting! He made our tour delightful!
