What to expect

This 90-minute tour offers a detailed exploration of Notre-Dame led by an expert licensed guide. The tour begins with a guided walk around the exterior, where your guide will provide historical context for the building's magnificent architecture. They'll explain the significance of its famous gargoyles and discuss the impact and progress of the post-2019 fire restoration.

The second part of the tour is a full hour inside the cathedral. With audio headsets, you will be able to clearly hear your guide as they lead you through the nave, chapels, and more. This guided experience inside is designed to highlight the details you might miss on your own. You'll learn about the architecture, see the scale of the stained-glass windows up close, and hear stories about the art and historical events that have unfolded within these walls.

This is an opportunity to truly understand the history and resilience of one of the world's most famous cathedrals. You can also add on a scenic Seine river cruise to see Notre-Dame and many more Parisian landmarks from the water.
