Meeting instructions were clear. Registration with the tour rep was easy. The guide was very informative and gave us a nice introduction to the history of the neighborhood as well as about Notre Damw itself, the fire and post fire renovations and re-opening.

Notre-Dame
When you visit Paris, certain sights are not to be missed, and one of them is Notre-Dame. Rich in its history and bright in its future, Notre-Dame has numerous stories to tell. Hear these fascinating facts through your local, experienced guide and engulf the culture of this city. Despite the fires of April 2019, Notre Dame still stands strong and uplifts the heritage it has to offer. This striking cathedral began construction in 1163 and took over a century to complete and is now Paris’ most iconic and historical building.
Past and present
Walk with your guide to the scene of the fire and hear first-hand perspectives about the historic event. Relive the night, when the world watched in horror as the cathedral caught fire and ashes filled the sky; learn about not only what was lost but also saved. Marvel at the iconic gargoyles and exemplary features of the well-known facade.
Explore the heart of Paris on this walking tour of Île de la Cité, starting at the iconic equestrian statue of Henri IV. You will explore the scenic Place Dauphine and marvel at the medieval grandeur of the Tour de l’Horloge and the Conciergerie, once home to royalty and revolutionaries alike. Your guide will share local culture, from the rich legal history of the Palais de Justice to the bustling Marché aux Fleurs (flower market).
Archeological Crypt of Notre-Dame
