Experience the breathtaking beauty of Notre Dame Cathedral on this expertly guided tour, situated on the historic Île de la Cité—the heart of Paris. Be among the first to witness the stunning restoration of Notre Dame, one of the world's most celebrated Gothic masterpieces, now more radiant than ever. Embark on an unforgettable journey to the Île de la Cité, the historical heart of Paris. Few visitors realize that this famous island, cradled by the Seine River, is the very birthplace of Paris. Once the site of Lutetia, a muddy settlement of the Parisi tribes, it evolved into the bustling epicentre of one of the world's most beautiful cities. Today, it’s home to some of Paris’s most celebrated landmarks, including the majestic exterior of Notre Dame Cathedral and Sainte-Chapelle.

An excellent tour by our guide Myra (not sure of spelling). Filled with historical facts and wonderful stories. Myra wanted all of us to enjoy the tour and learn about Notre Dame and the surrounding neighborhood. She succeeded. Notre Dame was amazing.

Mia did a great job on this tour. She told us about the early history of France and showed us marvelous sites related to that history. She also was very knowledgeable about Notre Dame Cathedral and shared many stories about its construction and the reconstruction after the fire.

The guide is a nice young lady but doesn’t know enough of the history of the island. Her stories of her personal experiences in Paris were not relevant or interesting. She seemed to be quizzing us rather than just sharing information…very tiresome actually
