Explore Notre-Dame’s Gothic details and restoration story with an expert Paris guide, choosing an interior, guided walking, or private tour.

About this tour

Discover Notre-Dame Cathedral with an expert Paris guide and take in the Gothic details that have defined the city skyline for more than 860 years. From the exterior, admire the Portal of the Last Judgment, watchful gargoyles, and soaring flying buttresses while hearing how the cathedral’s restoration unfolded after the 2019 fire.

Choose the experience that suits your visit. The semi-private interior option is limited to 9 guests and includes reserved access, audio headsets, and a state-licensed guide accompanying you inside. On the guided walking tour, explore with your guide before entering the cathedral independently at your own pace. The private walking tour offers the same independent-entry format exclusively for your group. A 4:30 PM start is not early access, and Mass may lead to lines of up to 20 minutes.

Meet your guide at the Charlemagne statue, then experience Paris Notre Dame Cathedral Guided Tour through its architecture and remarkable story. Choose your preferred option and see this landmark with fresh perspective.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.72 from 283 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.5.
