The tour is a product of a very long and detailed research, conducted by a PhD scholar, that was done for the purposes of mobile app Notre Dame Fiat Lux. This research will also be published in the form of a book. Therefore, our guides who partook in this research (most of them) or have prepared the tour from it, are arguably and very likely the foremost experts on Notre Dame in Paris, France, and indeed the world. The tour is a comprehensive view on the cathedral and its many different aspects. We offer a rare synthesis of research, over ten years of guiding experience, and most importantly, honest, deep and ever expanding love for this jewel of Gothic architecture. We feel that Notre Dame is the very pinnacle of Western civilization, and we are eager to explain why that is so. Come share our passion and ever growing interest for this unique monument.

The guide was amazing! So much knowledge about the time of notre dame, the building itself, and how the building impacted the area. Fantastic and cannot wait to go back and do it again after Notre Dame reopens. 10/10.

We had the most wonderful experience with Boris. We knew that we were not going to be able to go into Norte Dame, but he brought it to life for us. We are most anxious to come back to see it when it reopens. Boris really got us interested in the history and we learned a lot. We highly recommend Boris and this tour.
