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.

I really enjoyed Tina's tour! It was especially great and informative since is an art historian as well as understanding the French political history. It was so comprehensive. 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!

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.

Go on a guided walking tour of Île de la Cité and discover renowned sites like Notre Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, the Conciergerie, and more.

Gain entry to Sainte-Chapelle and marvel at the 13th-century stained glass and Gothic architecture commissioned by King Louis IX.

Choose to embark on a 1-hour Seine River cruise and catch sight of the Parisian landmarks from a vantage viewpoint.

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.
