This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris, 6 Parvis Notre-Dame Place Jean-Paul II, 75004 Paris France

Your tour continues to one of the most beloved spots of Paris, the Medieval masterpiece known as the Notre Dame Cathedral. Although Parisians are still shocked by the devastating 2019 fire, they are working tirelessly to rebuild this masterpiece for future generations. Notre Dame is temporarily closed to the public, but you can still learn about this architectural wonder and admire it from afar. When touring around this storied cathedral, take extra time to appreciate its noteworthy use of the flying buttresses.
These revolutionary outdoor arches helped architects accommodate the soaring interior heights associated with High French Gothic. Learn about Notre Dame’s intricate frame design, and the current efforts in rebuilding it. In addition to learning more about Notre Dame’s past, your guide will fill you in on future renovations at France’s famed cathedral so you know exactly when to plan your next trip to Paris!

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Place Dauphine, Paris France

Continue onto Île de la Cité’s peaceful Place Dauphine. If this square looks familiar to you, then you have probably seen Place Dauphine before in a few major motion pictures like Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris.
Though this square may be familiar for its more modern accomplishments, it holds an impenetrable place
in history as well. This is the second oldest square in Paris, dating back to 1600. It was initiated by King Henri IV and named after his crowned prince son Louis XIII, the dauphin of France.
As you make your way along the island, your Professional Local Expert guide will explain the long history of this natural island in the center of Paris.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Conciergerie, 2 boulevard du Palais, 75001 Paris France

It is is now time to hear a few of the darker tales of Paris’ past as you walk by the notorious Conciergerie. Your guide will transport you back to the bloody days of the French Revolution, where you will get an idea of Marie Antoinette’s last days before meeting her fate under the guillotine.

Duration: 30 minutes

You and your guide will continue onto Île Saint-Louis, yet another natural island in the center of Paris with picture perfect homes and balconies looking out onto the Seine River.

Amber our guide was very knowledgable, personable and engaging.- not just with adults but also my grandson age 10. I appreciated her patience with the younger one age 7. She walked us through different periods of Parisian history from its inception through the monarchies. i highly recommend her.

Fantastic tour of Ile de la Cite! Hugo did a great job of providing an overview of Paris history as well as lots of details on the restoration of Notre Dame and the history of the island and the Louvre, Place Dauphine, and much more!! Hugo was open to answering a wide range of our questions and was very knowledgeable about Paris history and beyond. We highly recommend this informative, engaging, and interesting tour!

We had a fabulous private bike tour with Thomas, who took us to see the sights in Paris. Our family of 5 (kids aged 11, 14, 16) enjoyed the information and the pace in the heat wave - Thomas was very accommodating to our needs, checking for our safety on the roads, spraying us with mist if we looked hot, offering water and sunscreen. A private bike tour is the perfect way to see the sights at your pace and Thomas was a fabulous guide. We did several LivTours in Paris and Rome and would have booked more except that they had already sold out. All guides were fabulous, on time, relaible and great communication before meeting and on the day. Thanks for showing us around!!
