The tour was great. It will take you around Notre Dame stopping at roughly 6 to 8 times to tell stories. I found it interesting as the stories were not all about the distant past. Some stories were of the recent past. Photos shown at the sites were also used to help give the stories a 3rd dimension. This tour is for you if you want something darker and off the beaten path.

Mark – United States

What a great evening on the tour and was one of our favorite tours during the family trip to Paris. Highly recommend the tour for a break of the typical sites and museums.
