5.00An absolutely fantastic tour of Notre Dame with a lovely, enthusiastic and engaging tour guide (Juliet) who shared her passion for Paris and the story of this incredible landmark with us on a private tour. We were the only 2 people with her so we had her undivided attention which made the visit to this iconic place of worship very special. Definitely recommend going early to beat the crowds! The walk around the surrounding area was also very interesting so all in all, go ahead and book this tour now!
