Overview
Explore the birthplace of Paris accompanied by a guide who will tell you its history and anecdotes.
You will marvel at the beauty and majesty of Notre Dame Cathedral, which, despite the fire that destroyed its roof in 2019, continues to stand majestically on the Ile de la Cité.
The visit to Notre Dame is conducted from the outside, you will not access the cathedral with the guide during this tour.
You will then continue to the Church of Saint Severin and visit the interior of a Gothic-style church.
You will then pass through the Saint Michel district and, wandering a little more following your guide, you will find yourself in one of the most beautiful and hidden squares in Paris: Place Dauphine, built by King Henry IV.
If you choose the option with the Sainte Chapelle tour, your guide will accompany you to the entrance of the chapel and give you tickets to visit this masterpiece of Gothic art at your own pace.

Nice tour and history lesson
Noah_D, Sept 2025
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on the history of Paris. He also gave us some helpful tips in the local area. We went back to Notre Dame after the tour and got in free after only 15 min wait.
Excellent Tour

Laura was an excellent guide who knew so much about the history of Paris, Notre Dame, and St Chapelle. We thoroughly enjoyed this small group tour. There were four in our group and it was perfect. Highly recommend.
Nice tour, great guide

Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide, François, who was great at explaining all of the key attractions of Île de la Cité and the surrounding areas. He kept to time perfectly and took us to St Chapelle to finish the tour. I would recommend this tour and the guide.

Francis was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge and extra care for details was amazing. This tour requires a lot of fast paced walking, so be ready for that.
