5.00Artur was our guide. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Notre Dame. Definitely worth starting with a tour of the exterior before going inside.

1.00We did not get to go on this tour. Apparently the meeting place was changed. They said they sent me a message but since I was flying, I never received it and we missed the tour
Really interesting tour

3.00Viator advertised that with our purchase, we could skip the line. However since it was so busy, the tour company determined we could not skip the line on that day. Instead, we had to queue while the tour guide told us about Notre Dame. It was hard to hear what was being discussed all the time since we were in a line I believe that we should have been notified of the change prior to traveling to tour (no skip the line and hard to hear the tour guide) to determine if it was something we still wanted to do.
Absolutely the worse

1.00The tour guide never met us, was very rude in his communication, we did the tour on our own, this was a total waste of money. He was rude and not helpful, I have booked another tour and am now concerned about this service
