I think for Notre Dame it makes sense just to book a slot on the official ND website and them get an audio guide and wandered around. I didn’t feel I gained any advantage from the tour.

Our tour went very well, although we couldn't spend much time outdoors because it was a very rainy day. Our guide, Timothy, was very knowledgeable and gave us great information, trying to explain everything in great detail. We recommend it to anyone considering going.
