Notre Dame Cathedral, also known as Notre Dame de Paris, is not just a building—it’s an architectural masterpiece that tells a story of centuries-old history, religion, and culture. Nestled on the Île de la Cité, an island in the heart of the Seine River, Notre Dame showcases the skill and artistry of medieval builders. Today, it remains a significant religious site and the seat of the Archbishop of Paris.

This experience brings the rich history and beauty of Notre Dame to life, offering an unforgettable glimpse into one of Paris’s most treasured landmarks.

The guide, Obinna was very personable and open to additional information. I would have liked more information about Notre Dame Cathedral architecture especially the post-fire restoration.
Great experience and easy...

It was amazing to hear the history of notre dame as well as surrounding areas. She recommended areas to return and restaurants that are local.

The tour guide met us at the meeting site, sent us into the crypts then disappeared. There was absolutely NO tour at all of Notre Dame. They gave zero history, no “included guide book” and truly no guide at all. Completely and utterly disappointed. We could’ve paid and entered the crypts ourselves. We were looking forward to a tour that never happened.
Amazing

Yemisi was an outstanding tour guide. She was informative, funny, and made the experience come to life. Great recommendations of what to do after the tour. Answered questions and let us know about things we didn’t even think to ask. Great pace of the tour, wish she could have taken us all around France with her expertise.

Your guides were knowledgeable and very welcoming! We were the only clients booked on Christmas Eve and both your guides took their time to explain all the intricacies of Notre Dame - we eventually gained entrance to the church and we were awed by its beauty and history!
