Booked a Notre Dame external tour with access to crypt. Finished external tour to be advised that crypt is closed and booking should not have been taken. Guide advised that she would investigate a full refund and notify me asap. I am still waiting.
Sugar was an exceptional guide !
Rita was a great guide. Knowledgeable and fun. Made our time together very informative. Highly recommend this tour
Our tour with Elisabeth was full of very interesting history about Notre Dame’s exterior. Without Elisabeth knowledge we would have missed so much. One disappointment was not getting to the crypts which I had booked. Instead we went to Sainte Chappell. It was very beautiful and interesting though. We were a group of 5 and 3 did not book the crypts.
This is informative about the exterior and history of the church. Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable.
Timmy is wonderful!! The way she explains everything is so mesmerizing and cool. And the cool part is that we can all participate.
Excellent tour, the experience was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided interesting facts about Notre Dame.
June was excellent!! She was extremely knowledgeable on the architecture and history of the Notre Dame! I absolutely recommend this review!
Fantastic tour. Learned so much. June was tremendous with her knowledge and was very pleasant to be with. Highly recommend.
I found Nick knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. He delivered a great and informative tour of the two sites we visited.
Well verse and knowledgeable 非常好非常棒非常有知识😂🤣😅👍🫰😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🤝
It was a nasty, rainy day in December. The temperature said it was 40°, but it felt more like 20° when we were standing on the bridge over the Seine with the wind whipping against us. Yet, we had a delightful time. June is a treasure. So knowledgeable and upbeat. Warning, she will ask you questions about Notre Dame and French history. When we got them right she told my brother or I that we were “good boys.” Of course this made us to compete, naturally I got the most “good boys.” If she does not bring it up, ask her about the architecture on the Housman building surrounding Notre Dame. I was aware of Houseman, but not some of the fascinating details that she provided. All in all, a lovely experience.
June was our guide. She is very funny, very interesting visit, so you should replace It! She understand italiano, so perfect!
June is my guide. I will do it again . Thanks june . The best tour ever in paris. Se did the cripto tour….thanksssss juneeere

We had such a good time with the visit , June was amazing and very considerate for how we were feeling and if we were too cold. definitely worth the price. the atmosphere was good, definitely crowded but June (our tour guide) took us to places where we could see everything she told us about. definitely recommend!

The tour was fantastic. June is an excellent guide and was very informative. I would use Perfect. Vacation again. 😀😀😀😀😀
It was amazing, educational, very well put together. Sagar is an asset to your company. He deserves more than five stars. He made it such a beautiful rewarding, and engaging experience.
We didn’t realize the cathedral was free to enter. I thought I was booking a guide to educate us inside the cathedral. The guide does not come inside with you, and you have to stand in line to enter. I will say this, my husband and I both agree our guide was very educated with Norte Dame facts. We are happy we spent a little time with her, but we bailed out to go inside the cathedral.
The tour was interesting and informative. Our tour guide, Yeju , was charming, witty and spoke clearly. We walked at an easy pace
Our guide was excellent. He gave very interesting information about Notre Dame and was engaging. Well done.
Yusuff was such a good leader telling us about notre dame interior and exterior.Also he was kind and the whole atmosphere was amazing.Me and my family loved it!
The guide is very informative and the outdoor tour is truly fascinating. It's a great time to learn about the reconstruction of the roof.
Great tour guide! Sagar aka Sugar was knowledgeable and funny. Had a great time. Small group made it fantastic
Sagar was very funny and knowledgable! He was cognizant of us not being under the sun too much, and the way he told the stories were fun.
Learning about the architecture and area around Notre Dame was great. Being able to also see the area beneath the cathedral's foundation was amazing.
This was a really nice tour. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and learning a little bit about the various sites and the exterior of Notre Dame. We also got entry to the crypt and learned a little bit about the ancient history of the area. I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in French history. Yussef did a great job in engaging our children, ranging in age from 10 to 17. They also gave him top marks!
Great little tour of the outside of the Notre Dame’s cathedral with history of the local area and the cathedral. Also lots of detailed information about the cathedral.
Its an OUTSIDE walking tour of Notre Dame NOT a tour INSIDE Notre Dame. Yusuff was informative and fun, but seemed to be more worried about the time , getting tips at the end of the tour and making sure we give him a 5 star review. MY RECOMMENDATION You can hire a self guided Audio tour from inside the church. Its only 6 euros and is much more informative than what we received on the tour.
Perkins was an excellent tour guide! We learned a lot about the history and architecture of Notre Dame before seeing the interior the following day. The introduction was well worth the time and money.
Standing in front of the iconic cathedral, we were awestruck. The twin towers rise above the Seine, the intricate stonework - and those gnarly gargoyles are mesmerizing. You can't help but gaze up at the massive rose window, even from outside, imagining the kaleidoscope of colors it must cast inside. Notre Dame isn't just a pretty face; it's also steeped in history - Napoleon crowned himself emperor here, and it inspired Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. We were kinda bummed we didn't bump into the Hunchback himself.
Great information about Norte Dam from Sz. He was informative and interactive. Made sure we were all comfortable with siting when possible.
Yusuff was great. Energetic and full of information. Made the tour interesting and the crypt visit was also interesting.
A lot of standing. Unless you want to look at pictures, this isn’t a good tour. You can go into crypt on your own since there’s no guide. The tour guide’s approach was not for me or my husband and we both thought it was the worst tour we went on in the 2 weeks there.
The guide was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Made sure to answer any questions and encouraged them
