Highlights

An interesting and informative tour guided by Katie was well worth the time and effort. Despite the weather that didn't really work with us.

I loved the knowledge and energy Joanna brought. And her attentiveness towards me as a wheelchair user. Everybody recommends talking to French people during the Paris-visit to get the true "French touch" - we received it in the purest form from Joanna. Thank you!

The guide Adriana, a book of wisdom, nice, attentive, kind, all a charm that made the visit very enjoyable. Notre Dam was amazing, a pity not to have been able to see it inside, due to the current circumstances.

The little we could see of Notre Dame our guide gave us a tour packed with information. She was fun, answered questions, asked questions, was direct and most important, made sure everyone heard and understood what she was saying. She not only talked about notre Dame, she talked about some of the history of Paris as well.

Nothing special.

When you visit Paris, there are certain sights that are not to be missed and one of them is Notre Dame. Rich in its history and bright in its future, Notre Dame has numerous stories to tell. Hear these fascinating facts through your local, experienced guide and engulf the culture of this city. Despite the fires of April 2019, Notre Dame still stands strong and uplifts the heritage it has to offer. This striking cathedral began construction in 1163 and took over a century to complete and is now Paris’ most iconic and historical building.

Walk with your guide to the scene of the fire and hear first-hand perspectives about the historic event. Relive the night, when the world watched in horror as the cathedral caught fire and ashes filled the sky; learn about not only what was lost but also saved. Marvel at the iconic gargoyles and exemplary features of the well-known facade.

Walk towards Point Zero, the geographic center of Paris is considered to be good luck. Come to a halt at the entrance of the crypt and make your way to the below Notre Dame. Explore by yourself the very foundation of Île de la Cité, the original Paris.
