Looked at many Notre Dame tour options but noticed that they covered just the exterior. This tour was special as inside access ticket was included and our excellent guide Manuel was able to explain as we went through using our headsets. He even took extra time at the end to answer some questions in the pouring rain!

The group wasn’t too big and the headphones allowed us to hear the guide when we were in the cathedral. Our guide Pauline was excellent. She had great knowledge about the history of Paris and the development of the cathedral which she enthusiastically explained to the group.
