It was a marvelous and detailed audio tour. My first experience with Headout and it was a winner. We will definitely use again. Notre Dame Cathedral is even more awesome that in the past. So brilliantly sparkling and amazing workmanship to restore such an essential part of French history and worldwide significance.

I loved the notre dame- it was a moving experience especially as we were there during the mass and the singing was beautiful. The colours, light, space were all awesome. I didn't use the headset so cannot comment on that.

It's tricky, but the program can be interesting for foreigners or people who don't know Paris at all. The title of the tour is tempting, but you have to read every line carefully: there's no ticket for the cathedral. The guide was friendly, knew her subject well and spiced up the tour with anecdotes. But then...a bit expensive for the price!

The audio guide was a fantastic way to explore Notre Dame. The narration was easy to follow and full of interesting facts. My advice: wear comfortable shoes, as there are lots of stairs and narrow walkways inside. Also, make sure your phone is fully charged before starting the tour!
