Description

Journey through the heart of Paris on a guided walking tour of Île de la Cité, the island where the city was born. Follow your expert guide along the Seine and through quiet squares as you hear stories of kings, saints, medieval life, and revolutionary trials that shaped France. Pass landmarks such as Pont Neuf, Place Dauphine, Sainte-Chapelle, and the Conciergerie, discovering both history and hidden gems. The highlight of your tour is the chance to step inside one of Paris’s most treasured monuments. Choose between entry to Sainte-Chapelle, a Gothic jewel filled with dazzling stained glass, or access to the restored Notre-Dame Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris) for a self-guided visit. For a more personal experience, upgrade to the semi-private option (maximum 5 guests), where your guide will accompany you inside Notre-Dame for a fully guided cathedral tour. This experience combines history, culture, and the chance to stand inside Paris’s most iconic landmarks, making it ideal for first-time visitors and those eager to rediscover the city’s soul.
