3.00Alot of history about the notradame building but we should be able to go in now.... please add that into the tour. Also she needs a little more practice. The information j7st didn't flow she was kindof allover the place. Kept loosing track on what she wanted to talk about next. Kind of flip around needs to find her flow about the tour. Pluse not much info on st chapel. And we went in to this church. Kinda felt like she's still learning. Tour needs to be both balanced on info and ticket for inside for both churches. St. Chappel wea gorgeous but I had no really info on church except the 5 min. Shell she said out side. Pluse it doesn't help if her friend comes along on tour. She seemed unorganized, she needed to be getting prepared for the next place not talk8ng with her friend she brought along.

5.00Chinello is a great guide that gave us the tour of the notre dame area in 10/2025. She was well prepared on and she spoke clearly with her amplifier throughout the touring. Me and my wife enjoyed her humorous narrative on local history and the buildings history as well. She was great at providing illustrations and visuals while going over important details which is helpful to connect the ideas. Overall, we would recommend the Paris fun tours to people that want to experience the local areas with more context. Would definitely book again with Paris fun tours for some of their other tours in the future!
