Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris (France)
The Notre Dame Cathedral is a medieval era Catholic cathedral in Paris. Its name can be translated into “Our Lady of Paris”. It is located in the 4th arrondissement of the city, on the Île de la Cité. It is one of the most popular of all Gothic cathedrals of the middle ages in Paris. Notre Dame Cathedral, also known as Notre Dame de Paris is, in fact, said to be an amazing example of French Gothic architecture across the world. Some of the famous architectural quirks that differentiate it from the Romanesque architecture are its natural looking sculptures and stained glass windows.
The Notre Dame Cathedral is home to the cathedral of the Archbishop of Paris, along with the treasury. The cathedral is home to several artifacts and historical relics, such as a reliquary in the treasury of the cathedral, the Crown of Thorns, one of the Holy Nails and a small fragment of the True Cross. Although it is possible to enter the cathedral free of cost, if one wants to climb the stairs to get to the terrace then a small fees has to be paid. The view of the entire city of Paris from the terrace is something that one cannot miss out on, when in Paris.
History of Notre Dame Cathedral
The construction history of Notre Dame de Paris dates back to 1160, when the then Bishop Maurice de Sully ordered demolition of the Paris cathedral, Saint-Étienne (St Stephen's) calling it unworthy. On its place, the foundation stone of Notre Dame de Paris was laid either by Sully or Pope Alexander III in 1163. The high altar was later consecrated in 1189. While sections like the western façade and the choir were ready by 1250, others like chapels, porches and various individual embellishments were incorporated during the next 100 years. The cathedral was completed in 1345. While Sully dedicated his life and finances for the construction, various architectures contributed to the building, which is evident from the different architectures in the Cathedral.

Trip to Switzerland
Overall good experience, however the hotels of Paris and Lucerne hotel was not good. Rooms were very very small in Paris with no Fan / AC and in Lucerne rooms are very shaddy and dark.Trip to Switzerland
We had a really great experience with them. Planned our anniversay trip to Bali this year and the services were exceptional. Though the request was on a short notice, our travel organiser Rishabh was very helpful in getting us the best price possible. They have offered us a customized tour package and was patient enough to take our last minute requests. Have been associated with Rishabh since 4 years and he plans all of our trips exceptionally well. Would highly recommend.Trip to Switzerland
It was a good experience however there was some service issue from agent side regarding the offered package...Trip to Switzerland
It was a great trip for us ...the insane traveller team weree always available for us though every thing was very nicely planned so we did not face any prob .I suggest all the travellers to please carry a Swiss travel pass along as it comes handy ,saves Ur time and has unlimited train and bus rides and some mountains excursions are completely free with the pass . The trip iteslf was memorable ...it's difficult to pick a single moment .Trip to Switzerland
The trip was fantastic.I loved the way hubholidays have done the bookings and arrangement. Everything was perfectly managed and due to proper cordination our honeymoon was way better than our expectations.travel agemt was even supporting during the trip Nd giving valuabke advice and suggestions.Special credits to Uday and Prashant of hubholidays for great work. During the start of the trip only we reached France and surprised to see mercedes e class their Smas raxi for our pickup.This is just the first memory and their were many more memories which were their each day.Trip to Europe
My tour of Munich, Vienna, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam was very well organized by Memorable Vacations Holidays. They took care of all the hotel, flight and train bookings including all the pickups. The sight-seeing which they had arranged was also very good. In this regard, I would like to express my gratitude for all the help extended by Pratik and everyone else at Memorable Vacations. They were always there to help me out during the entire journey starting from the initial planning until the very end of the tour.Trip to Switzerland
HUB HOLIDAY team is just brilliant, everything for the trip was planned well, on time. Mr Prashant Dharoch was very kind and helpful. Other travel partners in India need to learn from Hub Holidays the art of keeping the customer happy. Keep Shining HUBHolidays. Regards, Parag MoreTrip to Switzerland
Hi, Thanks for helping us in arranging for this memorable and wonderful trip. Kudos to Siddharth from Bollywood Holidays for taking care of everything. He was in continuous touch while we were traveling, reminding us on booked tours and trips. :) There are few points we could like to highlight for making the same itinerary better : 1. We were not communicated that Jungfrau voucher needs to be exchanged for ticket in Interlaken. This created confusion and we had to pay 10eur for the same to exchange the pass with train ticket. FYI Swiss pass is applicable only till Wengen and one has to buy train tickets if they are traveling beyond Wengen, i.e. going to Jungfrau, if they haven't exchanged voucher with tickets in Interlaken Ost. 2. Though we requested to stay at Wengen for 4 nights, but we could have shifted to Zurich one night before. We initially asked if there was a direct train from Wengen to Innsbruck, but that was not the case and we end up changing trains 4 times before reaching Innsbruck. Shifted to Zurich one day before could have saved some time for us. This is a suggestion for next trip Bollywood Holidays plans. 3 . We need to buy ticket from Wengen to Interlaken on 6 june, as per the initial plan when we booked the trip, all travel was covered. 4. We felt that Austria time should have been cut short. Though we asked for 11 day plan, providing suggestion, like there is not much you could do & can think of shorting the trip or you can cover one more country, helps both party. 5. Sound of music tour was not worth the time and money. FYI for next trip you guys are planning. Only if one is hardcore fan of the movie, they will enjoy it. Though online reviews are it's good even if you decently like the movie as it covers the city outshirts..that was definitely not the case. 6. Rather than booking 2 city tours in Innsbruck, it was better to take city pass. This suggestion should have came from Agent. We realized that city pass is a better option for Innsbruck & Salzburg after reaching cities. 7. All major tourist places closes at 5 PM. So it's better to book a train which starts such that we get the full day at one place before 5PM, if possible. This is again a feedback to make the experience better for the travellers. Jungfrau excursion, trek to Murren, cafes in Interlaken, trummelbach fall in lautebrunnen.Trip to Europe
Shashank from I need trip travels was extremely responsive and had organised a major portion of our trip to Paris and Switzerland in an excellent manner. He was extremely approachable and helpful in case we faced any issues during our trip....there were one or two instances in which the proper tickets and vouchers were not provided...however he sorted out the issues effectively...we would recommend Travel Triangle and I Need Trip Travels for travel to Europe Eiffel Tower, Cruise on River Seine in Paris and Mount Titlis in Switzerland were worth a visitTrip to Europe
Not happy with the service of Globas holidays as our tour was started without tour manager and hotel arrangements in paris was below par but after followups and complains we managed to end our group tour peacefully with tour manager thanks to mrs Afsana Tour manager who managed switzerland very well
