“Katie was a great tour guide! We learned so much from her about Notre Dame. Katie was full of facts for us about the fire and when Notre Dame is set to reopen! We toured the Crypts and walked around and read the story of the fire! Impressive how many craftsman and women it takes to rebuild what burned. We loved it! We will be back when it reopens!”
