Highlights
  • Seine River - Your day starts with a stroll along the banks of the Seine, where you’ll hear all about the hidden history of this intriguing city, taking in its romantic sights along the way.
  • Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris - As you approach the iconic Notre Dame, your guide will take you back in time hundreds of years to when 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. You’ll be taken as close to the majestic landmark as the ongoing restoration will permit to give you the best views possible.

  • Sainte-Chapelle - Sainte-Chapelle is a jewel of Gothic architecture and its splendid stained-glass windows alone are worth a visit. This royal chapel was originally built to house relics and today it’s still one of the most jaw-dropping rooms in Paris.
  • Place Dauphine - Tranquil, leafy Place Dauphine that offers breathing space and calm for its residents. Pass by the charming plaza on your way to Pont Neuf.
  • Pont-Neuf - Your tour guide will [present you with the ticket for the river cruise, which you can use and enjoy at the end of the tour and the cruise itself has its own guide.

Request Adam if you can - We loved it all. Adam was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and we learned a ton about French history. He was funny without being awkward, made us feel very comfortable. We did 6 or 7 tours throughout our time in Europe and this was by far our favorite. Give him a raise! I have friends that will be in Paris next year and I suggested this tour.

One of the most interesting and engaging tours I've ever taken - Me and my wife went with Adam, and it was simply excellent. Adam is very nice and an EXCELLENT storyteller. He can speak about the history of Paris for 3h nonstop and you will not get bored. He is engaging and very knowledgeable. He seemed to be having a lot of fun himself, which made everything even better. PLUS the Sainte-Chapelle is not a church that everyone visits when they are in Paris, but it is astonishingly beautiful. This tour is worth it for the Sainte-Chapelle alone. If you can, absolutely go on this tour.

What a great tour is! - Of all the tours we went on through our years of travelling, this was easily one of the best tours we ever had and this was thanks to Adam. He certainly has the knowledge, he definitely has the passion but more than anything else he knows how to tell a story. He makes it so engaging that he had the entire group hanging on his lips. He balances key dates with anecdotes to make big events memorable and History vivid. He does take you right back in time! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with him and if it wasn’t for the fact that we were leaving the next day, we would have booked the other tour with him on the French Revolution. We highly recommend!
