    The tour guide never showed up. Arrived half hour before the tour and stayed about 20 minutes after it should have started. I requested a full refund and will see if I receive it.

    Sankalp was our guide. Very knowledgeable, kept a good pace and made history come alive. Seeing the Cathedral was the main reason for coming to Paris. Very happy we were able to see it and understand the history and the magnitude of the renovation. Mission accomplished!

    Entry to Notre dame is free! They charge such a high fee just for an outside walking tour and den we had to join the regular entry line and wait in line in the chilling cold for 2 hours. They do even book the priority access line even after charging the high fee!! Do not book with the. It’s a complete ripoff !!
