Our guide Kam was outstanding. From explaining the center point of Paris in the pavement in front of the cathedral to describing the extensive fire and reconstruction, Kam was full of interesting and inspiring facts and details about the history of the city, cathedral and all the people who were involved with the construction of the cathedral. She was very clear and took time to ask for questions and provided very thorough explanations and answers. She covered explanations for all sides of the cathedral and answered questions about the inside also. We could not have had a better guide. We highly recommend her to future visitors to the Notre Dame cathedral.
Kam was excellent- very organized-knowledgeable- great sense of humor! She followed up w/ all guests to make sure everyone was on their way - gave great tips for getting coffee & crepes for a warm up after tour as it was chilly November morning!
We had free time to explore the Notre Dame and then proceeded on a very well detailed history of the outside of the cathedral! Our tour guide Kam was amazing and explained everything while asking questions to make sure we understood!
Kam was an exceptional tour guide. She was both knowledgeable in history and restoration of Notre Dame. She shared her own personal experiences with both pictures and videos that were a complement to the tour.
She was great. Very informative.
Kam was awesome and she made the tour interesting. I learned so much.
We had a wonderful experience in our tour and Kam was an amazing guide! The Best!
I had the pleasure of having Kam as my tour guide at Notre-Dame today, and it was truly an amazing experience! I walked away with so much more knowledge about the history of Paris. Kam was incredibly informative, knowledgeable, and engaging. Her wonderful personality made the tour so much fun, and she did an excellent job answering all of our questions. She made history come alive and turned the tour into the highlight of my day in Paris! I highly recommend Kam to anyone looking for an enjoyable, informative, and memorable tour experience. Thank you, Kam, for making our visit so special!
Kam was amazing! Very informative and she kept the tour interesting!
Our tour guide was exceptional. She had a great demeanour and knew her stuff.
We had an early access tour with Kam. She is an excellent guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a funny sense of humor. There was no line at 9:00 and the morning sun shone beautifully through the stained glass windows. Kam gave us so much information regarding the fire in 2019 as we moved completely around the outside of the cathedral. The tour was worth the price. Thank you, I don’t know if you can see this. Can you see it, but sounds OK.Kam!
I thought i booked a guided tour for inside but instead we were shown the line ty o ho in and then the guide was going to do an outside tour. It was raining and windy so we didn't stay for that part.
Kam was amazing, full of knowledge and very engaging!
Kam was an excellent guide who was knowledgeable, informative, and engaging. I highly recommend her as a tour guide.
This is Not a ln inside tour. Once I got over that disappointment,our guide was phenomenal The only suggestion: explain what to look for inside before I enter.
I guess be there before the time they actually tell you where to meet back up at. I met up with tour guide and she said to go on in as it’s early and free. Ok. Then she said to meet up at 0930 at the purple banner. We verified together. I went back to the purple banner at 0930 after my visit in the cathedral. Not anyone in sight. Zero.
Kam was really amazing. Honestly, we were initially disappointed that we weren't getting a guided tour inside, but Kam absolutely converted us. She did a superior job of explaining everything and making sure we saw the pictures and understood everything. Totally impressed.
Kam was wonderful!!! So much information and history!! Would highly recommend a tour with her!!!
Kam was great, very knowledgeable and friendly.
Cam was extremely focused on her customers and provided a very educational tour of the Cathedral. I liked how we toured inside first; (before the lines backed up). She then did the walk around the building. She also provided some humor.
Kam . . was very knowledgeable and informative. We also liked that she was funny.
Cam was excellent! Very knowledgeable and lots of fun!
Great tour and Kam is very funny
Rashi was very informed, very prepared , and very friendly. Rashi’s explanation of the fire that burned ND was really great insight and we learned a lot. Thanks.
Rashi was wonderful! She was knowledgeable & professional .
I learned many things about Notre Dame that I never knew before. Our tour guide Ama was a fount of information and very full of information.
I am so pleased, honored and blessed to have found this tour guide who works for your company. You have the best working for you. He is a kind human being who is also intelligent, and compassionate.
Wish we had more time inside the cathedral, but our guide, keti was wonderful!
Kam was wonderful anf full of really interesting facts and stories!! Our family really enjoyed the tour. Get there early so you can go in to the cathedral for a good chunk of time (free) very few people at around 830,9am She stays outside for ½ hour and starts early tour at 930. Those who got there late regretted it as it was already very long lines to get in when we finished the tour. Enjoy
You view the inside first, then the tour guide takes you around the building. The outside tour was more about the history.
Kam was extremely knowledgeable and gave so much information about Notre Dame. We thoroughly enjoyed her insight and expertise and she needed a fun experience. We highly recommend Kam and this personalized tour.
Great tour - Kam was engaging, fun and very knowledgeable. She is my first choice for the future.
Kam was an awesome guide. She was very informative and engaging.
even though this was not first time in Paris, learned a lot from our wonderful tour guide, Kam.
It was a wonderful tour! Our guide was amazing and gave us so much information! I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Paris.
Kam our guide was excellent telling us the whole story of the cathedral renovation
Kam was an amazing guide! Very informative and interesting! We would recommend this tour to anyone!
Kam is such a lovely guide! Very enthusiastic, friendly and informative.
KAM was incredibly professional and funny very knowledgeable
We didn't go because the riots the day before and into the early morning hours outside where we stayed made us nervous to go out today.
Excellent guide knowledgeable witty clearly marked out fascinating parts of the building as well as in thee am had us enter the cathedral for a half hour tour followed by a walk around describing the efffects of the fire on the roof and steeple .She in addition had her own collection of photographs of the extent of the fire .In addition she handled an obnoxious child who interrupted her discussion with respectful firmness . I Would recommend her without hesitation as an excellent guide… Dr p graham
At this time of year, going at least as early as 9 removes the need to buy a tour and early admittance. Five-minute wait. That said, our historical exterior tour with Kam offered many facts I didn’t know (even after three previous visits) including information about the spire’s rooster, the relics — including the crown of thorns — and of course the inspiring restoration after the 2019 fire, with expected completion in 2028. Kam was funny, informative, relevant and patient with questions. Recommend at least minimal fitness since this tour traverses the entire perimeter of the cathedral.
Kam is excellent! Lots of interesting and unusual history details.
Amazing! So knowledgeable and patient and perfectly entertaining.
Kam was an exceptional tour guide. Incredible knowledge and enthusiasm. She was absolutely amazing.
Keti was a wonderful guide! She was super friendly and shared very interesting facts.
Kam was great, would recommend!
We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Kam for Notre Dame. Informative, energetic, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. Kam answered every question, kept the tour lively, and made sure we didn't miss anything important. A great guide and a great experience. Thank you, Kam!
