It was a great way to see and learn about Ile del la cite. Caroline, our guide was knowledgeable and fun. My only fault was upon arrival Carole said this tour did not include entry tickets to the Conciergerie. So we were unable to enter even though the name of tour says it is included. Carole was confused about this as well. Other wise, very good.

It was particularly helpful to understand more of the arrangements and meanings in the Sacre Couer windows. All around great cultural tour! Don’t miss it!

The tour was great and competent, informative and entertaining. We were told the wrong time the day before. 3:00 pm instead of 4:00 pm. It was also not taken into account that Notre Dane closes earlier in the evening. We could no longer get in. This should have been known in advance and we should have been informed. Then I would have booked a separate time slot. The group was very annoyed about this.

Guide explained things well but she walked so fast she kept losing half her people. She had another engagement so left us alone at Chappelle. So the tour was cut by 1/2 an hour. So she was explanatory but too fast walking and left us at Chapelle after we got inside. No trouble getting in front of line.
