I absolutely loved this tour! Our guide, Anaïs, was outstanding—warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the history of Paris. She brought the story of the city to life, starting with its origins on the island and guiding us through the fascinating history that shaped Notre Dame into the iconic landmark it is today. Walking through Sainte-Chapelle and seeing the incredible stained glass up close was truly breathtaking. The way Anaïs explained the symbolism and craftsmanship made me appreciate it even more. The stained glass in both locations was a highlight of my entire trip. This tour was informative, beautiful, and inspiring from start to finish.
Great morning! Perfect tour

We had a fabulous guide, Raffael. Know that they meet at the time and not much before. Many tourists, including us, worried when our guide arrived only seconds before our tour. Others should know not to worry. It was perfect to go early and the two sights in one tour was perfect
