This topic doesn't appear to have been addressed for several years ... my family and I are staying over in Reims after a Women's World Cup game this June and would like to take a winery tour (booked) and a tour of Reims Cathedral. The official tourism site is confusing and most of the packaged tours I find seem oriented to day-trips out of Paris ... wondering if anyone knows of a local guide or service that gives English-language tours of just the Cathedral. Thanks!

I did an English Tour of the Reims Cathedral including the roof a few years back and I dont remember any issues. There was no need to hire a guide, we just showed up for the tour that was scheduled.

Rick's guidebook mentions helpful information boards in English throughout the church or the option to rent a video guide on tablet. The cathedral site also alludes to 30-minute guided visits which are probably free. The only thing that I understand you pay to visit (and can book ahead) is to climb the towers of the cathedral. When viewing pages in French, note that "tour" in French means "tower" in English, rather than guided visit.
