Cattedrale di Notre-Dame: Tour guidato nell’anima di Parigi con opzionale crociera sulla Senna

It was the highlight of a very short trip - to see the Notre Dame again and finally Jesus’ Crown of Thorns. Our guide Aida was well spoken and engaging. She was vivacious as she shared compelling stories of the cathedral which helped us focus albeit the crowds and a bit of noise.

Our guide was fabulous. Very knowledgeable, funny and showed additional info on a large IPad

Informative. Guide got us around the large crowds without difficulty. She was funny and had a very positive attitude.

Aida our guide was excellent. I loved her sense of humour and her knowledge about Notre Dame . The tour was very interesting! I highly recommend the tour!

Outstanding!!!! Don’t try Notre Dame without a guide.

Very professional and engaging guide.

This was an excellent tour. Our guide Aida met us on time and was very friendy. She spoke very good English. She was well versed in the history of Notre Dame. She spent an extra 10 minutes inside the church with us. We learned so much about Notre Dame as a result of the tour. I would recommend this tour.

Aida was very knowledgeable about Notre Dame. She was also very professional and friendly. The tour was very informative and enjoyable.

Notre Dame was amazing. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Would definitely recommend. Dan - New York

Our guide was great!

Genial!!

So crowded inside the church. Maybe a classroom style session first before you go out into the church.

Lovely guide who was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

loved Aida!!

Really informative and interesting. Thanks

Aida provided many interesting details during our Notre Dame tour that I wouldn’t have known otherwise. She helped us navigate the crowds in the cathedral and spoke clearly. We had about 20 people on the tour which I would say was the max.

Guide Aida was excellent- informative, funny and able to keep the tour engaged

Aida was really fantastic, and we lived her lively demeanor and pleasant delivery of history.

engaging and interesting tour

Aida was knowledge and presented the historical significance of various aspects of the cathedral, its art, etc. in a very interesting manner. She is engaging and was respectful to all in the group. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

It was spectacular!! Aida is super nice, funny, speaks English really well, keeps the group together, and takes her time. Highly recommended, great value for money

The tour was wonderful. Our guide used great pictures on her iPad to show us the damage to the cathedral from the fire. This way we could see the Before and After of the restoration work. She was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the cathedral and the artwork inside.

The tour was very good. The right amount of time inside and outside. A very detailed explanation. I wouldn't change a thing.

Aida is a great tour guide. Her expertise added so much to the tour.

Amazing

Aida was a great guide! Her passion and infectious enthusiasm made the tour.

Sehr nette und kompetente Reiseführerin. Gab wichtige Zusatzinformationen.

The historic site is terrific. And the guide is knowledgeable, passionate and easy going.

good art information amd saving the time in the line was worth it. guide was on on time, engaging and very informative. English was excellent.

Our guide Aida was very knowledgeable. She knew a lot and was able to impart her knowledge.

Aida was a great guide! She did an excellent job of finding the right balance of history, art appreciation, culture and fun. She kept us moving along without making us feel rushed. She was extremely skilled at handling an unfortunate incident with another visitor to Notre Dame who was not in our group and complained that group tours should not be allowed. He was awful and Aida skillfully remained cool and polite and got him to move away from us and stop his rant. She quickly returned the group to a pleasant mood even though she must have been shook up herself- a mark of a skilled professional. We were so happy to get to experience the restored Notre Dame with Aida- thank you!

Aida was very knowledgeable about the history of NotreDame and the restoration.

Loved Aida!!

Aida was brilliant. She brought the tour to light with amusing comments and information. It was a shame we couldn’t go upstairs

Our tour was cancelled.

Our guide was excellent. Knowledgeable. Fun. Very friendly. Well worth every penny.

Everything's great

Guide friendly and knowledgeable. Could have been shorter.

the guide could not find my paid ticket number and so I could not go onthe tour.

Guide was extremely personable and informative

Our guide was a NO SHOW. There were about 10 of us waiting and waiting. Still waiting for a refund POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE.

Aida was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging!

Good, knowledgeable guide

Our guide, Aida, was an ideal guide with her infectious passion for everything about the Notre Dame and Paris in general. We learned a lot during our tour, which was well worthwhile.

Very good tour! Aida was very informative and easy to understand!

Guide was very knowledgeable

Notre Dame Cathedral was beautiful. The tour guide was pleasant and kind and engaging. There was perhaps a little too much time at each little chapel. While we appreciate the details, by the time we approach the hour, we were only 2/3 around the cathedral — overall a very good experience

The guide, Aida, was not excellent. She is very knowledgeable, spoke clearly and enthusiastically about Notre Dame, and made the visit extremely rewarding. An excellent representative of your organization.

This tour was unexpectedly cancelled for me on the original date. I rescheduled to today and the tour guide was not at the meeting spot.

It was fun

Good

Crowded environment led to unsafe conditions that lead to my brother-in-law’s fall on down stairs that were not properly protected in a crowd

Our tour guide, Aida, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and presented the information in a well paced way with gentle humour and great visuals to support her explanations.

Guide was nice and informative

Aida enthusiastically explained it to me. I've visited Notre Dame Cathedral many times, but I've learned a lot. Thanks

the discovery of the statue of Charlemagne that I had never seen before, then this interior redone with an interesting performance of the guide of the before fire, fire then renovation....

It helped to skip the tour but it was difficult to find a space to hear the guide. There was too much information about religion and not enough about the technical aspects of the restoration of Notre Dame

Very disappointing tour, no earpieces, we couldn't hear anything! I paid for nothing.

We didn't particularly like it because the guide was so disorganized in her explanations. For people who have studied architecture or art history, Aida would definitely have been the right choice. But for people who just wanted general information about Notre Dame, it was simply too much. She spoke without pausing for breath.

This was not what I paid for there were no headphones and the guide could not guide us without the headphones. The entry was not skip the queue and as a result we had to queue and the entry was free. As a result I feel I have paid 138€ for nothing. I would like a full refund for the experience.

Aida our tour guide was excellent. She explained the history of the cathedral well, and did an excellent job explaining various aspects of the cathedral. I highly recommend this tour and Aida as a tour guide.

Great guide-knowledgable

Excellent guide aida

A guide who was certainly friendly and attentive, but his rapid delivery (especially in English) was tiring, and a few pauses would have been welcome.

The trip was very interesting. We especially liked our guide, Aida, who was very interesting and easy to understand. I highly recommend it.

Very interesting tour. Learnt so much more than doing by ourselves. Professional knowledgeable guide

This tour was excellent. I had been to Notre Dame before but without a tour guide. I was glad I booked a tour this time; the guide was very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot about this beautiful cathedral, both the outside and inside.

On time Funny and pleasant Good English and very knowledgeable Would recommend

We appreciated not having to stand in a 30 minute line in hot sun. Guide was quite good & very informative. Although pricey, we were glad we booked the tour ahead of time.

Our guide was amazing!! She had a great personality -- she was very knowledgeable, kept the tour moving at a nice pace, and a lively, charming personality. My whole family ranging from 28 to 85 enjoyed her approach. Recommend!

Leaving it

It's a shame that the tour only focuses on the recent disaster. We would have liked it to also cover the history of Notre Dame de Paris.

Our guide, while knowledgeable, did not keep descriptions focused or consice. Descriptions became laborious and the tour went well past an hour. My husband and I became exhausted by the pace and left before she had finished.

there is a lot to see and I thought our guide (Aida) did a great job in explaining the key points to us in an entertaining and engaging way

Our tour guide Aida was wonderful. Also had a chance to participate in a worship service at Notre Dame after the tour. Truly memorable.

Not much - the info was not organized . It's like it was off the hip/ nothing historical & in a meaningful manner . Tried showing a group of 24 pics off a very small iPad . Kept telling us to gather round b & it was hot & crowded. Was originally told to meet @1;15 & tour would start @ 1:30. Waited on late people & didn't go inside until 1;55 for a interior tour. Left after 10 minutes inside

Aida was excellent. Very knowledgeable. Easy to understand and very interesting to listen to.

Sehr gut!

I would have appreciated fewer dumb jokes from a guide who seemed to thunk, incorrectly ,that she was very funny.

give the guided tour in French

She spoke clearly and explained items simply.

Size and scale of the church, fantastic history lesson by our guide, lot of people also visiting making it hard to move around

Tour guide was amazing & very knowledgeable. The place is stunning. Only thing is we didn’t realise we had to cover shoulders before entering so make sure you wear a t shirt or shawl

Great guide and efficient line-cutting service. Too bad it's in English!

We really liked hearing about the restoration which is what we are interested in. It would have been good to have an understanding of what the tour was going to focus on and maybe have a leaning on either the restoration or the religious aspect of the cathedral. Also perhaps extend the tour as felt it was a little rushed towards the end. Difficult for the guide as the cathedral was so busy. She did a good job though and we enjoyed it.

We enjoyed this tour. It was just the right length for us. The guide was very sure to ascertain our interests and plan the tour accordingly.

Too crowded and our guide wasn’t very good.

The guide was very knowledgeable and nice.

Aida was an excellent guide - full of knowledge and enthusiasm. She did a great job in the pretty crowded conditions!

Our guide was great. She was very knowledgable about the Cathedral and had a lot of photos of the Cathedral pre and immediately post fire to help show the contrast and the meticulous work that has been done to restore it. It was great that we had headsets so that we were always able to hear our guide, even if we were not right next to her. We didn't feel rushed and were able to take our time and take pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Skipping the queue. Notre-Dame is very impressive and it was great to see the restoration. Guide was informative on the outside of the building. Once we were inside, the guide spent too long showing photos on her ipad and it was just not engaging. We ended up leaving the tour to do our own thing as did other couples and groups.

Everything was super organized and the guided tour was great!

Aida was knowledgeable, fun, entertaining and got us through Notre Dame in one hour and 30 minutes. We left full of information and wanting more tours with her! Thanks Aida

It was amazing! Our guide Aida was fabulous and so sweet.

This was not a 1 hour tour as advertised so we had to leave before we got to see much of the cathedral. Our tour guide dwelled on details that could be interesting for those looking for a very deep dive into the church but not for my kids. A very small point, but she also didn’t comply with the churches dress code herself and tried to convince the security guard she shouldn’t have to cover her shoulders…just odd that the very person leading our tour would try to bend the rules. Probably a great experience for anyone looking for a very detailed tour (though you can probably find a better guide for even that) but I would not have booked this tour had I known it would be very detailed and longer than 1 hour.

Our thanks to Aida, our guide, who is both personable and well informed. She gave us a clear and comprehensive explanation of the Cathedrals’ history and its renovations, both past and ongoing. She drew attention to the iconic religious and historical elements and the consequent worldwide appeal of Notre Dame. An excellent tour guide. Rosaleen UK

The guide was lovely and gave all information. Good trip, not worth all that money. Go early you’ll get in just the same for free

The tour was very informative. Aida gave a good walkthrough of the cathedral with back stories.

Commentaires intéressants avec beaucoup d’humour

Commentaires précis avec une guide très agréable

Le rendez-vous avec un drapeau par exemple

Highly recommend this tour.

Detailed explanation from the tour guide.

Very informative! Her English was excellent and knowledge of historical facts was terrific, and I appreciated all the photos. She showed us from her iPad of the fire damage and other things. I was super pleased with the guide and the tour.

Our tour guide, Aida, was great! We met promptly at 9:15 at designated spot and she began tour at 9:30. We were actually in the cathedral for over an hour with her. Highly recommend this tour

The guide was short and dressed in black - in such a busy environment it was difficult to locate her. The tour was excellent- guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable but sometimes struggled to find the English word she wanted to use

Our guide was very informative and also sympathetic to the extreme heat that day.

Our guide had an excellent knowledge of Notre Dame’s history,

Guide was great!

Very informative. Guide provided personal touches and was easy to relate to. Also injected humor at appropriate times

Very interesting explanation of the fire and the works carried out. I would have liked more information about the history of Notre Dame.

Excellent tour!

The guide Aida was excellent. Thank you.

The head phones were clear and easy to operate Our guide was pleasant and of good nature There was a lot of repeating of historical material in the dialogue… a main focus was the fire restoration Scripting could be a lot better with support… perhaps to note how many times the guide uses the word “guys” as she spoke to the group We had been to the Opera house the day before with iPads and head phones and found it a lot more informative in comparison it was overall a better experience

Guide was a little unprepared in the beginning, which caused us to stand in the hot hot heat for several minutes. However, once inside she was very knowledgeable on the church.
