Notre-Dame Such a Fantastic Tour and Tour Guide!

5.00Our tour with Jessica was absolutely outstanding—engaging, knowledgeable, and genuinely inspiring. She brought the cathedral’s Gothic architecture to life with captivating stories, while keeping a perfect, unhurried pace that allowed time for photos and questions. Her warm, welcoming demeanor made everyone feel included, and her clear insights deepened my appreciation for Notre Dame and its restoration. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Paris.
Excellent tour guide

5.00We did the Pere Lachaise Cemetery tour with Audrey. She was actually the best tour guide of our entire trip to Paris. The meeting place and time were accurate. She asked us if we had any personal preferences or choices for the tour. She was friendly and professional throughout the entire tour. She possessed great knowledge about everything we saw and was very open to questions and conversation. She also gave us some great recommendations for restaurants in the city. This is a great tour and we would highly recommend this tour with Audrey!
Amber is an exceptional tour guide. She has the knowledge, the stamina to walk all those miles, and the love of her work

Our tour with Daniel the Irish guy

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Our walk with Daniel The Irish Guy was terrific. To start, he shared information about the Louvre, just enough so as not to spoil our tour of it in a few days. He shared French & Parisian history as we made our way to Sainte Chapelle, where he gave us a fantastic, in-depth tour inside and out. The history and information continued as we walked to Notre-Dame de Paris. No question of ours went unanswered! We had a few minutes to enjoy a drink together (a Spritz and a beer - so refreshing!) before boarding the large group tour boat for a short ride down the Seine. TIP for the short trip on the Seine - go straight to the counter to order your crêpe first so that they have time to make it!
