Short history hearing was interesting and flower market was very beautiful. At the venue was traffic so noisy and the tour guide spoke so quietly, so half of the information went missing. I thought, that the tour ticket also includes skip-the-line tickets, but not.

Ticketing and follow up was superb. Pepe even called us to check that we would be on time. We were late. He is a historian, a story teller, and a poet. Oh, very funny. Superb guide. Been to Paris 20 times and he taught us a lot that we never knew about Ile de la Cite. Just superb.
Dirk
May 2025Verified booking
The tour was great and competent, informative and entertaining. We were told the wrong time the day before. 3:00 pm instead of 4:00 pm. It was also not taken into account that Notre Dane closes earlier in the evening. We could no longer get in. This should have been known in advance and we should have been informed. Then I would have booked a separate time slot. The group was very annoyed about this.

Apr 2025Verified booking
We absolutely loved our guide he was knowledgeable on the topics he shared with us during the tour and the one of the reasons I starred awesome, but it was not the tour I signed up for which was access to Notre Dame with a guided tour plus optional locations. What we received was the optional locations which were very interesting and we truly enjoyed, but then the tour ended with us standing at the Notre Dame plaza with no history of the cathedral provided. Your advertising of this particular tour is misleading as shown by your email which states the name of the tour as "Notre-Dame Cathedral & Optional Île de la Cité Guided Tour". You should change the name of this tour.

I misunderstood your description and thought this included skipping the lines to get into Notre Dame. What I am VERY DISSATISFIED about was our tickets to the Louvre. Our tickets were not honored there and there was a sign indicating Headout, along with several other vendors tickets were not honored. We had to purchase admission tickets there!!!

If you can't get the free tickets on line, this is an economical alternative, and these are reserved tickets. We were there on a Monday, and the reserve line was just a few minutes while the general admission line looked like it would take a very long time to get in. The outdoor guided narrative was helpful.

It was unnecessary expense. Visitors without advance reservations were being let in albeit a longer line. Your notes should say, "look for the orange visitors with reservation line to the right side of the front of cathedral

We loved the cathedral and the whole experience but the audio guide wouldn't work for any of us. It kept timing out if we didn't touch the screen but if you touched the screen it jumped to the next guide. Then it wouldn't play when you went back. After like 8 tries we all gave up on it. Which sucks because the info was really good and were very interested.

Download tickets and audio guide (and bring your headphones) before you leave your hotel. Signal is very weak near Notre Dame, and the download will take a lot of time. Your timed ticket has a half hour grace period--perfect for walkers who get distracted along the way to their destination. Once inside, respectfully, you should be very quite. The audio is a perfect companion and so informative.

Ticketing was easy. Most important was getting the skip the line timed entry to ND. Laura the guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant. It was great to see ND but the crowds made it quite unbearable. I suspect that will be threading fora long time to come. Laura the guide did not accompany us inside.

Wow, we had the best day, so so much to marvel at one wouldn't know where to begin! We were contacted directly by phone on arrival and communication re tickets was excellent. The guide was super, engaging knowledgable and v pleasant! We hadn't expected to enjoy this visit so much, it felt like one of those that we will never forget. I recommend visiting the gardens also, totally stunning . We were thrilled we did include it in our visit and in my opinion, it's worth making a day of it and do both interior and exterior same day, enjoy a spot of lunch and the gift shop too! A wonderful atmosphere! ⭐️

It was a marvelous and detailed audio tour. My first experience with Headout and it was a winner. We will definitely use again. Notre Dame Cathedral is even more awesome that in the past. So brilliantly sparkling and amazing workmanship to restore such an essential part of French history and worldwide significance.

We had an enjoyable tour on Dec. 12, led by Mad.
He quietly took his time with everything and told a lot of nice stories. The snacks and drinks were also of good quality and we enjoyed buying these snacks in local stores, with Mad. We did expect, that we would be able to visit Notre Dame. This turned out afterwards not to be scheduled in the tour. Mad did give the advice, to try this for ourselves in the evening.

I really enjoyed Tina's tour! It was especially great and informative since is an art historian as well as understanding the French political history. It was so comprehensive.

We absolutely loved our guide he was knowledgeable on the topics he shared with us during the tour and the one of the reasons I starred awesome, but it was not the tour I signed up for which was access to Notre Dame with a guided tour plus optional locations. What we received was the optional locations which were very interesting and we truly enjoyed, but then the tour ended with us standing at the Notre Dame plaza with no history of the cathedral provided.
Your advertising of this particular tour is misleading as shown by your email which states the name of the tour as "Notre-Dame Cathedral & Optional Île de la Cité Guided Tour". You should change the name of this tour.
