Church tour with Sunny - Very nice explanation about the History of the Notre-Dame Cathedral. We would like to visit again soon. It’s worth it. Thank you Sankalp.

Worthwhile despite the weather - Rainy and cold, but still a great tour. Good information. Doesn't include entrance to the Cathedral, but that is free and the line moves quicly....at least in January and in the rain!

Do not expect to go inside the cathedral on this tour. - Our tour guide was informed, prompt, and loquacious. However, the tour was not what I had been led to believe. The tour was rather focused on the area around the cathedral than on the cathedral itself. We spent an hour walking around Ile de La cité, but we saw nothing really about the cathedral. At the end we had to join the line for the cathedral. I had been led to believe that the tour included a tour inside the cathedral.

Do it Yourself - Sorry, I cannot recommend this tour. Have done a number of tours throughout Europe on this trip & this was the worst, not worth the money charged.

Really Poor Customer Service - AVOID!!! - Booked this tour weeks in advance and really looking forward to it, full payment was taken 2 days before tour date as needed, and then the next day, as in day before the tour was due, received an email to say it’s been cancelled by the tour operator with no explanation as to why. Just a message to say a refund will be processed. Very poor service. Would not recommend. I appreciate things happen and plans sometimes change, but to take full payment one day and then cancel the next day on something that was booked weeks in advance with very little explanation is just poor.

Despite terrible weather... - Despite terrible weather tour operators refused to provide refund. An exterior tour in driving rain and near freezing temperatures wasn’t going to enjoyable.
