Overview
Discover the charms of the island of Île de la Cité and admire the gothic splendor of iconic sights like Notre Dame (from the courtyard), Sainte-Chapelle and explore the narrow streets and hidden nooks of the Latin Quarter. Enjoy a guided tour of the prison that once held Marie Antoinette and visit other lesser-known attractions like Pont-Neuf Bridge and Saint-Michel Fountain. Enjoy scenic views on an idyllic Seine River Cruise.
Begin your walking tour from Pont-Nuef Bridge, and head to Conciergerie for a guided tour of medieval palace turned into prison where Marie-Antoinette and many others were incarcerated during French Revolution. Next, admire the city’s most beautiful chapel—Sainte Chapelle, built initially to house relics and today one of the most jaw-dropping rooms in Paris with your skip-the-line ticket.
Continue your stroll around the island and explore cobblestone streets, as your guide narrates stories of poets, artists and philosophers who turned Paris into 'City if Lights'. As you approach the iconic Notre Dame, your guide will narrate how the mighty cathedral (the distance from which all points in France are measured) was first built and Paris looked very different than it does today.
Before bidding goodbye to your guide, collect your tickets and enjoy a 1-hour live guided river cruise along the Seine where you can experience and view Paris and its many magnificent buildings from a new vantage point.
