Not great.
Tour did not include interior although that is what we paid for. Also paid to tour the crypt which turned out to be closed. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable about exterior and other local sites.

Great Experience
A very informative tour - even though it was extremely hot and humid🥵. I would highly recommend Obinna as a guide. He was knowledgeable, personable and took his time with explanations. If we were staying longer, would certainly book him for other tours.

The tour itself was...
The tour itself was fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable, appreciated questions and was friendly. The experience of the tour itself was wonderful. We did have several issues with the company itself. While all things got resolved and worked out, it was definitely a stressor to navigate unclear descriptions, changes to the itinerary, changes to times, and an unexpected extra purchase, all while abroad (or shortly before leaving for France) and having a busy schedule.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you had a fantastic tour and that your guide's knowledge, friendliness, and willingness to answer questions made the experience enjoyable. We also sincerely apologize for the confusion and stress caused by the itinerary updates, schedule changes, unclear descriptions, and the additional purchase. We understand how challenging it can be to manage these changes while preparing for or traveling abroad. Your feedback is invaluable, and we're using it to improve our communication and provide a smoother experience for future guests. We're grateful that everything was ultimately resolved, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on another tour and provide you with an even better experience.

Mina was great tourguide. Thought booked group tour, but had private one. Great.

Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we'll be sure to pass your compliments on to Mina. Thank you for choosing Wonder Meets and Tours. If your family or friends are planning a trip to Paris, we would be honored if you recommended us to them. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in the future!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Notre Dame Interior Tour with Crypt, Macaron or Lunch options: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Notre Dame Interior Tour with Crypt, Macaron or Lunch options cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Notre Dame Interior Tour with Crypt, Macaron or Lunch options take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Notre Dame Interior Tour with Crypt, Macaron or Lunch options worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Notre Dame Interior Tour with Crypt, Macaron or Lunch options?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Notre Dame Interior Tour with Crypt, Macaron or Lunch options suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Notre Dame Interior Tour with Crypt, Macaron or Lunch options?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Notre Dame Interior Tour with Crypt, Macaron or Lunch options start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
