Andrea hat die Tour auf Englisch gemacht. Wir konnten sie gut verstehen und hat sich unsrem Tempo angepasst. Ihre Ausführungen zum Wiederaufbau der Notre Dame waren sehr detailreich und kompetent. Ihr Auftreten war sehr sympathisch und zugewandt. Sie ließ viele Aspekte in ihren Beschreibungen einfließen: historisch, kulturell, kunstgeschichtlich und theologisch und dabei sehr kurzweilig! Wir können sie als Giude sehr empfehlen!

Notre Dame ist einmalig schön. Unser Tourguide hat uns in kurzer zeit viele Dinge erzählt, die spannend und kurzweilig waren. Besonders hat uns gefallen, dass die Grußße so klein war, wir schnell in der Kathedrale waren und auf details hingewiesen wurden, die wir allein auf jeden Fall übersehen hätten. Danke!

Sehr gute Führung, sehr lebendig, engagiert und fundiert . Trotz der vielen Menschen in der Kirche war durch die kleine Gruppe ein interessanter und ruhiger Rahmen geschaffen, der auch dazu führte, dass die Gruppe immer zusammenblieb. Die Führung war ausführlich, ohne zu ermüden und lebendig gestaltet.

Saeed was very knowledgeable about Notre Dame and both its history and recent renovations from the fire in 2019. He was able to share a number of insights about how the architecture, symbolism, and decor reflected the Catholic Christian faith. I would be happy to have him as a tour guide again!

Lucile nous a promené devant et à l'intérieur de Notre Dame avec des explications et rappels simples de l'histoire ancienne et à venir, C'était agréable de l'écouter, malgré la foule présente. Nous la remercions chaleureusement. Dominique.

My tour guide, Luz, was a wealth of knowledge. I learned so much from her. It was obvious how passionate she was about teaching others about the beauty, history, and majesty of Notre Dame Cathedral. She is also a lovely person.

    Nous avons grandement apprécié notre guide Hugo. Ses explications concernant le sauvetage des cloches et les parties de la basilique affectées lors de l'incendie nous ont permis de comprendre l'ampleur des dégâts. Il a attiré notre attention sur plusieurs éléments à l'intérieur et a l'extérieur qui ont valu la peine de découvrir la basilique en sa compagnie. Un grand merci à Hugo!
