Natalie was great, the tour of the outside went for about 50 mins, with lots of information. She then got us into the notre dame where we could go around on our own at our own pace.

Guide was not very knowledgeable about the cathedral or about Catholicism and Christianity but read from a script and in particular. Her tour added nothing about what we saw.
