Our tour guide Remi was an exceptional guide and we learnt a lot on the tour. I would’ve perhaps liked more talk on the history of the cathedral rather than the modern history of the fire, but nevertheless it was informative and interesting and definitely worth it!

Sophia was very friendly and informative. She answered all of our groups questions and was passionate about her love of Notre-Dame and it's repair since the fire. As we walked around the cathedral she explained other things that could be seen in the surrounding neighborhood. Highly recommend your. Well worth the money.

The tour guide was phenomenal, really fun and knowledgeable! But this was not a 2hr tour and would not do it again given the money for return. A lot of details covered by guide are either on putter wall of notre dam site (docs the rebuilding process) or in the crypt portion.
