Île de la Cité Tour, Notre Dame Ticket & Seine Cruise
What to Expect
Get ready to enjoy a series of unforgettable experiences, enjoyed in the following order:
Notre Dame Tour + Audio Guide
Our journey begins after we meet at 21 rue d'Arcole, in the heart of the Île de la Cité. From there, we'll accompany you to the Notre Dame cathedral, where you’ll explore at your own pace with the help of an audio guide you’ll have downloaded to your phone ahead of time.
With this experience, a reserved time slot for your visit to Notre-Dame is already included. No need to worry about availability. While admission to the cathedral is free, time slots often sell out due to high demand, so booking in advance is usually recommended.
During the audio-guided tour, which lasts about 1 hour, you'll explore the sacred works of art within Notre Dame. What's more, you'll gain significant insights about the history of the cathedral, newly restored after a devastating fire in April 2019.
Île de la Cité Walking Tour
Following the visit to Notre Dame, an English-speaking guide will be waiting for you at the entrance of the Parisian cathedral. From here, we'll embark on a walking tour of the Île de la Cité, around the cathedral.
During our 1-hour stroll, we'll marvel at the different elements of the facade of the Notre Dame cathedral, whose sculptures, gargoyles, and rosette windows are true masterpieces.
Continuing our tour of the Île de la Cité, the founding site of the city of Paris, we'll move on to admire other emblematic places like Sainte-Chapelle, the Conciergerie, and the Clock Tower.
Seine River Cruise
After the walking tour, we’ll wrap up the route near Notre-Dame at 1 Square du Vert Galant. From this charming spot on Île de la Cité, you’ll board one of the Vedettes du Pont Neuf cruise boats for the next part of your experience.
Once on board, you'll set sail on an unforgettable boat ride on the Seine River. During a 1-hour cruise, you'll enjoy informative commentary from an audio guide while you gaze at the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, and the Eiffel Tower passing you by.
Finally, the cruise will end back at the starting point.
