Paris Notre Dame Cathedral Guided Tour - Early Access
4.7 / 5 · 246 traveler reviews
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

Stop 1
Option 1 — Guided Tour & Cathedral Visit (Morning, max 20) Enter Notre-Dame yourself, explore the restored nave and medieval interior at your own pace, then join your expert guide for a historical walking tour — the gargoyles, flying buttresses, and the 2019 fire story. Option 2 — Interior Guided Tour (Semi-Private, max 9) Your state-licensed expert takes you inside the restored Cathedral with reserved access and professional audio headsets — the fire, the restoration, the medieval nave, and the hidden details most visitors never find. Intimate and unhurried. Option 3 — Private Expert Tour (your group only) Enter Notre-Dame yourself at your own pace, then step outside with your private expert guide for an in-depth historical experience tailored entirely to your group. One guide, one group, no strangers.
