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.

    Our guide Becky was extremely knowledgeable and personable. The small group tour was the perfect way to learn about the surrounding Notre Dame Area. But of course walking through the Cathedral was awe inspiring and not to be missed!

  • Wonderful guide and very interesting walking tour of the Paris City Isle. Worth the cost not to stand in crazy lines!

    Carole is a wonderful guide! The tour is really more about walking the islands and understanding their very interesting history. Notre Dame was very crowded and the scheduled entry was so helpful. Carole couldn’t go in with us and a little more time would have been a blessing. Highly recommend going to Sainte Chapelle! Stunning! Good value for introducing my daughter and granddaughter to these treasures of French religious life.
