Itinerary

Begin outside as you examine the intricately sculpted façades, including the three grand portals, the Gallery of Kings, and the famous flying buttresses that define Gothic architecture. Step inside to experience the vast interior space, where soaring ribbed vaults, towering columns, and the magnificent rose windows create a dramatic and spiritual atmosphere. As you move through the cathedral, learn the meaning behind its design, the symbolism embedded in its artwork, and the major historical events that took place here, from royal ceremonies to its near destruction in 2019. Gain insight into the ongoing restoration efforts following the fire, and understand how this monument continues to stand as a symbol of resilience, culture, and faith in the heart of Paris.
With the selected option, continue your journey beneath the cathedral at the Archaeological Crypt. Discover the ancient foundations of Paris, where layers of history dating back to Roman times are preserved below the square of Notre Dame. This self-guided visit offers a deeper understanding of the city’s origins and evolution.

Obinna from Wonder Meet and Tours did a great job. He arrived early and his good communication allowed us to easily identify him. His tour was full of information which made the standing in line go quickly.
Very easy to find the meeting spot. Our tour guide was excellent interesting history things you actually wanna know. Before we went in our tour guy told us what we were looking at. It was very helpful. We actually were able to go in during a mass say a prayer and receive communion, bonus!
Super interessant, sympathische Tourguide „Tife“
Tife did a wonderful job and very personable. It was a pleasure.
This tour was amazing! Tife was superior and made it fun and informative. Highly recommend!
Early start was great to miss the crowds. Obinna was our tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Amazing and very informational tiur
She was Very knowable and friendly
The tour included a lot of interesting information about Notre Dame and Paris itself
Obinna is an excellent, knowledgeable tour guide. We would highly recommend him.
Tour did not include interior although that is what we paid for. Also paid to tour the crypt which turned out to be closed. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable about exterior and other local sites.
A very informative tour - even though it was extremely hot and humid🥵. I would highly recommend Obinna as a guide. He was knowledgeable, personable and took his time with explanations. If we were staying longer, would certainly book him for other tours.
The tour guide Mena was very knowledgeable and passionate. Very friendly and did a great job.
The tour itself was fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable, appreciated questions and was friendly. The experience of the tour itself was wonderful. We did have several issues with the company itself. While all things got resolved and worked out, it was definitely a stressor to navigate unclear descriptions, changes to the itinerary, changes to times, and an unexpected extra purchase, all while abroad (or shortly before leaving for France) and having a busy schedule.
Mina was great tourguide. Thought booked group tour, but had private one. Great.
Mena was very nice and professional. She provided us with all details in a pleasant way. I strongly recommend her.
Obianni was punctual, friendly, easy to find, knowledgeable. We booked a group tour but we surprised when only the 2 of us turned up. Never the less, he made it a comfortable and excellent experience.
Mean was fabulous answer all my questions and was patient and kind. I could listen to her talk all day I didn’t want my tour to end.
Men’s was very good- very informative, friendly and personable for our interior and outside tour if Notre Dame!
It was an amazong tour with our guide. He was super friendly and was eager to answer all our question. The length of the visit was perfect. Not too long not too short.
Mina was amazing. Very kind knowledge and fun. We are a party of 3 generations so she was able to mix the talk up to suit all audiences. Thank you Mina for making our trip to Notre Dame very special. David, Heather, Edward & Alex.
We booked it because the title said interior and it was supposed to rain (and did!!!). When the tour began, it was mostly exterior and they don’t have to go inside til the end. It was 45 degrees and pouring rain. and when it was apparent we were not getting what we paid for, we left.
Really enjoyed learning about the history of ND, the regions just around it, and climbing tower
Obinna gave me a really good tour of the area around Notre Dame, some history of the building, the portals, the Shakespeare and company shops and the park which was setting up Christmas market with many vendors. I ended at the archaeological crypt which is really interesting too. A great start to my trip to Paris.
Obinna did an excellent job! Great tour guide.
Headout Very good tour, the guide can be recommended.
