Irritating.
not sure what to say - we arrived to a particular location and we were the only people on the tour (two) and it ended up being 30 minutes long (with information that we could broadly have discovered online) - the tour guide asked if we had any questions and when I asked one told me to wait that he would answer that question later - we were told after 30 minutes that the crypt bit of the tour wouldn't take place as it was closed....and to ask for a refund. We did so, but haven't heard yet....we hope we get it otherwise we spent £222 for a 30 minute guide.

Beautiful churches, Knowledgable Guide
Our tour guide, Nick, was simply fabulous. He was a wealth of knowledge about the history and architecture of the church. We hadn't expected to go inside but were able to do so and it was really worth that experience. Both churches are some of the most beautiful in the world. Do yourself a favor and book this tour and if you can, ask for Nick. We wish him the best as he works on his degree. Many thanks

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Notre Dame Outdoor Tour with Sainte Chapelle Entry.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Private Notre Dame Outdoor Tour with Sainte Chapelle Entry. cost?
+
Prices start at $171 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 Private Notre Dame Outdoor Tour with Sainte Chapelle Entry. take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours 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 Private Notre Dame Outdoor Tour with Sainte Chapelle Entry. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Notre Dame Outdoor Tour with Sainte Chapelle Entry.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Notre Dame Outdoor Tour with Sainte Chapelle Entry. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Notre Dame Outdoor Tour with Sainte Chapelle Entry.?
+
Around 20 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Notre Dame Outdoor Tour with Sainte Chapelle Entry. 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 Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. 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.
What is included in Private Notre Dame Outdoor Tour with Sainte Chapelle Entry.?
+
Included: Entrance tickets to Crypt, Sainte Chapelle and Conciergerie; Guide service; and Access to Notre-Dame Cathedral. Not included: Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Meeting Point: Join us opposite Café Panis, at the corner of the bridge Pont au Double. Our guide will be wearing a red cap with The Perfect Vacation Logo. We look forward to welcoming you there! Nearest Train : RER B Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
