We did the outside-of-Notre-Dame tour with Diana and really enjoyed it. She brought the history of the cathedral to life, from its construction through to the restoration, and kept it interesting the whole way. Knowledgeable, engaging and easy to follow. A great way to understand Notre Dame beyond just looking at it. Would definitely recommend.
Nice guide Diana...she took her time with us and she is a happy girl. We like the tour!
Diana was magnificent. Very informative tour. Highly recommend her.

Good experience of walking tour with Diana, recommended.
Diana gave a very detailed tour around the notre dame and its surroundings and we learnt new things about the history.
Diana was great, learnt a lot about the history of Paris and Notre dame from her !! :)
Nice tour. Guide (Diana) was knowledgable and energetic, although her English was at times difficult to understand. The meet-up was somewhat difficult, as there were other groups meeting same place /same time. Her sign said, "bonjour!" and not Epic Tours /Viator/etc. All in all, though, would recommend since it was great info inside and outside of Cathedral, and skip-the-line entry.
Diana’s tour was wonderful. We loved learning about the history of Norte dame
This was such a disappointment!!! I had booked the Notre Dame Tour 2 months in advance. They canceled the day before the tour, saying there were changes at the cathedral, prohibiting entrance. I believe that was NOT the truth. They offered a date in mid-October! Really!! We were in Paris from the US for 5 days only. Were they expecting us to return for “their” tour! Do NOT book with this company…..you risk not seeing Notre Dame!
I bought tickets for my mum and MIL (who are in their 80’s) to see Notre Dame so they didn't have to queue up and so they got a bit of knowledge around the building and the re-building. I highly recommend booking an early tour as there are less crowds and (in summer) the inside can get very hot with the crowds as the day progresses. They said Stella was a great guide and they learnt a lot from her. Well worth the money to skip the queues and get the extra knowledge.
This is my second time seeing it. But my first after the fire destroyed it. The cathedral is magnificent, they did a great work to restore it. There a long line and crowd in this time of year but the line going fast. You need to cover your body to enter no shorts or revealing clothes. Mass was going when we were in. Must see
The tour guide was exceptional, she shared images on her iPad and went into great detail on the fire and then the changes.
Really fabulous tour our tour guide Diana, so knowledgeable and charming. We learned so much of the history and recovery of Notre Dame

Great access and efficient getting in. Worth it to avoid hassle. Not very different from other famous cathedrals in Europe.
Some wonderful insights to the building and various reconstructions of Notre Dame through the centuries. What we didn’t appreciate is that the actual presentation doesn’t take place inside the church. Whilst you get to wander through the church the actual presentation is from outside, so it covers more about the building than the artifacts in the church
Had a fantastic tour with my family. The tour guide Diana was absolutely amazing, very friendly and very good explanations.
