5.00Perfectly timed tour focused on the Notre Dame post fire renovations. Our guide, Adam did a great job of explaining the amount of damage, the restoration efforts and current controversy over a few updates.
Magnificent.

5.00An absolutely magnificent visit! Discovering Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris after its restoration is an emotional and impressive experience. The guide was passionate, very clear in his explanations, and was able to tell the history of the cathedral with many details and captivating anecdotes. The restoration is simply remarkable: every detail of the monument regains its luster, and one feels the entire historical and artistic richness of the place. The visit is well organized, smooth, and accessible even for those who are not particularly familiar with the history of Paris. A true masterpiece rediscovered, to see at least once in a lifetime. I highly recommend this guided tour to all lovers of heritage, architecture, and French history!
