Description
You’ll begin your 90-minute morning experience in the very heart of Paris, Pont Neuf, which stands just across the island that has been the city’s spiritual and political center for centuries—The Island of Notre-Dame, or 'Île de la Cité,' as formally known to France.
Beside the statue of Henri IV himself, our team of experts will welcome you and your small group of no more than 5 travelers—this ensures a personal and fully engaging experience from start-to-finish.
As you set sights on, and prepare to enter Notre Dame Island, your guide will highlight stunning landmarks that shaped French history. Admire the graceful Place Dauphine, NEXT enjoy views of the Conciergerie, once a royal palace and later a Revolutionary prison. Nearby, the elegant spires of Sainte-Chapelle rise above the island, known worldwide for their dazzling stained-glass windows.
The walk leads you to the imposing façade of Notre-Dame Cathedral, which has stood at the center of Parisian life for more than 850 years. Your guide reveals the stories hidden in its statues, gargoyles, and intricate carvings—tales of coronations, revolutions, and restorations that echo through time. Even if there is a short wait, your guide ensures the time is well spent, explaining the meaning and symbolism of its remarkable exterior.
Escorted service to The Notre-Dame Cathedral’s Interior
Cross the threshold into the soaring interior of Notre-Dame, where light streams through magnificent stained-glass windows, filling the nave with brilliant color. Unlike some larger tours, you’ll have time to truly connect with the essence of this extraordinary monument—once a site of coronations, desecration, and renewal.
A Semi-Private Experience to Remember in Paris
Your tour concludes inside the cathedral, giving you a final moment to absorb its atmosphere. Whether you linger near the side chapels, gaze at the stained glass, the experience is unforgettable.
With only five guests per group, this semi-private visit offers rare intimacy at one of the world’s most visited landmarks—making your time at Notre-Dame as meaningful as it is memorable.

We found it well run and correct. The driver pointed things out all the way to Paris. Not the cheapest, but justified. The driver drove carefully the whole way. It took a while to spot the driver in the crowd. A good option, especially on a first visit.

Saímos encantados. Boa seleção de vinhos, e explicaram cada um. Muito bom que incluía acesso à Catedral de Notre-Dame. Demoraram para trazer as bebidas no início.

De lo mejor que hicimos en el viaje. El guía manejaba los dos idiomas del grupo sin problema. Aprovechamos acceso a la Catedral de Notre Dame más de lo que pensábamos.

Worth every penny
A really well rounded experience. Excellent guide with a deep knowledge of the local history. Catedral de Notre Dame ended up in all our photos. If we come back to Paris, we will do it again.

Superó las expectativas
Contratamos esto casi sin expectativas y terminó siendo lo más lindo del viaje. El recorrido está bien pensado, no se repite ni da vueltas de más. Pasar por Notre Dame Island valió el tour entero.

Sin palabras
No podría haber salido mejor. No esperaba que incluyera visita guiada a pie por la Île de la Cité, un plus. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. Si volvemos a Paris, lo repetimos.
