Explore Notre-Dame’s Gothic architecture and 850 years of history on a guided Paris tour with scheduled access to the cathedral interior.

About this tour

Explore more than 850 years of history at the newly reopened Notre-Dame Cathedral. This Paris Notre-Dame Cathedral Tour brings the monument’s Gothic architecture, sacred art, and place in Parisian culture to life with an expert English-speaking guide.

Choose an interior guided option that begins with a 30-minute walk around the cathedral, followed by a 30-minute guided visit inside. Or take a one-hour exterior tour and use your scheduled access to explore the interior at your own pace. Group tours are limited to 24 guests, and after a guided interior visit, you may stay inside as long as you wish. An audio guide or headset system is available when selected.

Notre-Dame’s interior admission is free; the charge is for the independent guided service. The cathedral remains a place of worship, so modest dress is required.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 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 7.3. Top 35% in Paris means it ranks in the top 35% of tours in Paris by this score.
