Journey through the heart of Paris on a guided walking tour of Île de la Cité, the island where the city’s story began. Stroll along the Seine and through quiet squares as your guide shares vivid tales of kings, medieval life, and revolutionary trials. Pass landmarks such as Place Dauphine and the striking Conciergerie before choosing how to complete your experience. Select reserved entry to Sainte-Chapelle, a Gothic gem glowing with dazzling stained glass; or step inside the newly reopened Notre-Dame Cathedral for a standard self-guided visit. For a more personal experience, upgrade to a semi-private Notre Dame tour (maximum 5 guests) with your guide leading you inside for a fully guided cathedral visit. Each option offers a unique way to encounter Paris’s most treasured monuments and its enduring history.
