Notre-Dame in Reims
Our guide was very knowledgeable. The tour was worth the time and money. I would recommend this tour.

Very good guide with...
Very good guide with explanations about the architecture of the cathedral and the history especially the baptism of Clovis.
via Viator
Nice but not totally engaging
Very interesting tour, but a bit more of the fascinating royal history would have improved it. ………..

Tour of Cathederal Notre Dame
There is so much detail and history in the cathederal of Notre Dame. This tour was a great way to just get a small dose of the amazing planning and thought that went into its construction

Notre Dame de Reims.
The tour guide was very informative about the items inside the Cathedral. Tour was short. I am not sure if it is possible but a tour that included a climb up the spires would have been great.

Reims Cathedral of Notre Dame Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reims.
How much does Reims Cathedral of Notre Dame Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $13 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reims usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Reims Cathedral of Notre Dame Guided Tour 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 Reims is not rushed.
Is Reims Cathedral of Notre Dame Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reims, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Reims Cathedral of Notre Dame Guided Tour?
+
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 Reims Cathedral of Notre Dame Guided Tour 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 Reims Cathedral of Notre Dame Guided Tour?
+
Around 14 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 Reims 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 Reims and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reims Cathedral of Notre Dame Guided Tour start and how do I get there?
+

What are the best things to do in Reims?

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 Reims?
+
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 Reims?
+
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.
