Overview

Notre-Dame Cathedral has stood for over 860 years — and after the 2019 fire, it has never looked more extraordinary than right now.

Join an expert Paris guide for a tour around one of the world's greatest Gothic monuments — the Portal of the Last Judgment, the gargoyles, the flying buttresses, and the dramatic restoration story told from the outside where the true scale of the cathedral reveals itself.

Three options available:

Reserved semi-private interior tour with audio headsets (max 9 guests) — the only option where your guide accompanies you inside

Guided walking tour with independent cathedral entry — walk with your guide, then enter the cathedral yourself at your own pace

Fully private walking tour with independent cathedral entry — same as option 2 but exclusively for your group
