    We absolutely loved our guide he was knowledgeable on the topics he shared with us during the tour and the one of the reasons I starred awesome, but it was not the tour I signed up for which was access to Notre Dame with a guided tour plus optional locations. What we received was the optional locations which were very interesting and we truly enjoyed, but then the tour ended with us standing at the Notre Dame plaza with no history of the cathedral provided. Your advertising of this particular tour is misleading as shown by your email which states the name of the tour as "Notre-Dame Cathedral & Optional Île de la Cité Guided Tour". You should change the name of this tour.

    I misunderstood your description and thought this included skipping the lines to get into Notre Dame. What I am VERY DISSATISFIED about was our tickets to the Louvre. Our tickets were not honored there and there was a sign indicating Headout, along with several other vendors tickets were not honored. We had to purchase admission tickets there!!!

  • Rediscover the origins of Paris with a relaxed tour of its geographic and historic core, the Île de la Cité. Marvel at breathtaking landmarks like Sainte-Chapelle and Notre-Dame, then unwind with a scenic Seine River cruise, where the city's rich history unfolds before your eyes.

    Conciergerie

    Your medieval Paris walking tour begins at Pont-Neuf, the city’s oldest surviving bridge, where you’ll meet your guide and small group. From there, enjoy skip-the-line access to the Conciergerie for a guided exploration of this former royal palace turned courthouse and prison. With so much history embedded in its walls, your expert guide will bring each chapter to life, ensuring a deeper understanding of this remarkable site.

    Sainte-Chapelle

    Next, prepare to be mesmerized by Sainte-Chapelle, often considered the most breathtaking church in Paris. Commissioned by King Louis IX to house his sacred relic collection, this Gothic masterpiece boasts soaring stained glass windows that create a kaleidoscope of light. With skip-the-line access, you’ll bypass the long queues and step straight inside for a guided tour of this awe-inspiring architectural gem.

    Your exploration of medieval Paris continues with a stroll through the Île de la Cité, weaving through its charming cobbled streets past iconic landmarks like Shakespeare & Company, the legendary bookstore that has long been a hub for poets, philosophers, and artists who helped shape Paris into the City of Light.

    Notre-Dame Cathedral

    Then, journey back in time to the origins of the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral—the historic heart of Paris and the point from which all distances in France are measured. Since the Middle Ages, this Gothic marvel has drawn pilgrims, its grandeur and intricate design leaving early visitors in awe. Though heavily damaged by the 2019 fire, a monumental global restoration effort has revived its splendor, allowing visitors to once again admire its beauty. With skip-the-line entry, you’ll enjoy a self-guided visit, and from June 9, 2025, your guide will accompany you inside for a fully guided tour.

    Before bidding farewell to your guide, you’ll receive a special bonus—a one-hour Seine River cruise, offering a unique perspective of the city’s landmarks, complete with live commentary.
