Overview

Join us as we take a tour through the heart of Paris right where it all began. Views of Sainte-Chapelle, the Conciergerie, and Notre Dame Cathedral await you on Ile-de-la-Cité.

While walking along the cobbled streets of the island, you'll hear about the chapel of Sainte-Chapelle, one of Paris’ hidden gems. Originally commissioned by Louis IX to be a home for the Crown of Thorns and 1,100 stained glass windows.

From there, we’ll make our way to the Conciergerie, a prison used during the French Revolution for those awaiting the guillotine. You'll learn about famous inmates, like Marie Antoinette, while learning about how this building was used throughout the centuries.

Finally, we’ll enjoy a beautiful view of Notre Dame, France’s greatest example of Gothic architecture. Due to a fire in 2019, we will not be able to go inside the Cathedral, but your guide will lead you through the amazing history of this church.

This tour was outstanding. Our tour guide, Nick, was very knowledgeable about each of the sites we saw. He was also very engaging. I did the 2 hour version of the tour and it was packed with info. I highly recommend.

I’m not talking about Santa Claus but rather Nick our tour guide who was not only a saint in our hearts but was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Paris and it’s connection to the rest of the world going back to the days just before Christ Jesus walked the earth. Great information about the rulers overall and the highs and lows of the various cultures who lived here. This tour was worth every penny and more.

Nick not only knows French history, but his delivery was also charming. He taught me more about the history of France and the beginning of Paris than I ever learned in history class. The pace was just right and seemed to move along with attention to detail without going into too many details. He had a great sense of humor and used some wonderful quotes. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Nick both on the Versailles bike tour and the walking tour of Paris history.
