See Paris from two classic angles in one easy combo—start with a guided walk around Notre-Dame’s exterior on Île de la Cité, then wind down with a 1-hour evening cruise along the Seine.
Getting started
Meet your guide at the designated point on Île de la Cité and begin your tour in a small group of just 5 guests. After the walking tour, make your way to the Bateaux Parisiens boarding point for your cruise. With departures every hour and a ticket valid for 6 months, you can choose a timing that fits your plans.
What to expect
This experience blends two distinct ways of discovering Paris into one seamless plan. Begin on Île de la Cité, where a guided walk around Notre-Dame’s exterior brings centuries of history, architecture, and restoration efforts into focus through expert storytelling in an intimate group setting. Then, shift pace as you board a Bateaux Parisiens cruise for a relaxed 1-hour journey along the Seine, where illuminated landmarks and multilingual audio commentary offer a scenic, panoramic perspective of the city by night.
