The guide was great, but it wasn't clear from the website that the tour was in English. The guide's explanations were good but in our opinion the content is not worth 50€ (no access to the treasure....)

Our guide was fabulous. She cleverly brought an I pad with her so she could show us before photos of the fire. I could hear and understand her English. English not being her first language. She's a gem.

Couldn’t have asked for a better tour! Guide was lively, stories were interesting, and skipping the line was a lifesaver. Bring a light jacket—gets chilly inside.

Cold and windy in Jan, but guide made it bearable with good stories. Wish we could get closer to the doors. Decent tour, but maybe better in warmer months.

Our party of 5 throughly enjoyed the tour, both outside and inside. I did have to read the ticket confirmation information several times before understanding that it was not a Headout Tour. The tour guide did not know of Headout, but we did finally realize we were taking the same tour.

Really liked the tour, guide was super friendly and explained all the fire restoration stuff well. Wish we could’ve gone inside tho. Also, wear comfy shoes, the cobblestones are no joke. Weather was a bit chilly but still worth it.

We arrived a little late due to travel delays and they waited for us and still provided an informative exterior tour. Entry was very quick and easy.
Brenda
Jul 2025Verified booking
Our guide was knowledgeable and imparted historical and oftentimes complicated information in an easy to understand format that set the foundation for the group to absorb and appreciate the historical aspects on the Cathedral. I have travelled widely for the last 50 years globally and must say she is one of the best I have encountered.
Adam

It is a funny experience the walking tour through the island but its not worth the money. Notre dame is free and i thought i was gonna get a tour of the notre dame not of the island. Go to notre dame for free and save yourself money.

Went with my partner, was our last day in Paris. Honestly, this tour was a highlight. Didn’t expect to laugh so much (the guide had jokes about the gargoyles). The construction is a bit distracting but also kinda cool to see history in the making. If you love stories, you’ll enjoy this.
Jose
Jun 2025Verified Partner Review
SO glad we booked this! Our guide was energetic and had tons of old stories about Notre Dame. Also, shout out to the tip about the nearby bakery—best croissant ever. If you get the chance, try to go in the late afternoon for the light. Super photogenic.

Was okay. Too many people in my group, and the guide’s mic kept cutting out. Notre Dame is beautiful but wish the logistics were better.
Priya

Went on a weekday morning with my cousin. Less crowded than expected! Guide was friendly and cracked a few jokes. Learned some cool facts (the statues on the front are NOT original, who knew??). It rained halfway but we just hid under a tree and the guide kept going. Would recommend, just bring an umbrella.
Julien

Really enjoyed the tour, but there were a lot of people around, so sometimes it was hard to get a good view. Still, guide gave us lots of time to ask questions. Would recommend going early morning if you can.

Took this tour solo and ended up chatting with other travelers. The guide made everyone feel welcome. Learned so much about the fire and the rebuild.
Marta

Wasn’t sure if an outdoor tour would be that interesting but it’s honestly incredible how much you can learn just looking at the outside. Our guide had a laser pointer (lol) and pointed out tiny carvings way up high. If you’re a detail nerd, this is for you.

My friends and I had a blast. The guide was upbeat and made history fun. Construction is still going, but the stories more than make up for it. 10/10.
Andre
Jun 2025Verified Partner Review
Booked the Notre Dame walking tour for a solo trip. Group was bigger than I expected but still manageable. Guide was really passionate, maybe talked a bit too fast at times (I missed a couple stories). The outside is STUNNING, even with all the construction going on. Didn’t get to go inside, but honestly the facade is the real star. Bring water and sunscreen, gets HOT in June. Overall, solid experience.

We joined the 10am tour with a few friends. Maybe it was just that day, but it felt a bit rushed. Guide was nice, but hard to hear sometimes with the street traffic. Notre Dame itself is GORGEOUS, but all the fencing blocks the best photo spots, so heads up. If you’re into architecture, you’ll still enjoy it.

We went to the Notre Dane experience with 4 children aged 8 to 16. It was too long for the youngest child as there is no guided tour in German. Everyone else was thrilled. I myself had to take my glasses off several times because I was getting dizzy. The tour provides historical background in a very youth-friendly way.

Ticketing and follow up was superb. Pepe even called us to check that we would be on time. We were late. He is a historian, a story teller, and a poet. Oh, very funny. Superb guide. Been to Paris 20 times and he taught us a lot that we never knew about Ile de la Cite. Just superb.

When I signed up for the tour, I believed it would be of the outside of the Basilica itself. Once I found that the beginning was at Pont d Neuf, I change my expectations and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Our guide was excellent, enthusiastic, and very informative.
