Overview
Paris can feel overwhelming for first-time visitors, especially without a clear starting point. Get your bearings with an escorted walking tour of Île de la Cité, the historic island where the city took root. Stroll along the Seine and through peaceful spots like Place Dauphine as your guide shares stories of royal triumphs, medieval intrigue, and revolutionary change. Choose to explore one of two remarkable landmarks: step inside the Gothic chapel of Sainte-Chapelle with reserved entry, or visit the newly reopened and restored Notre-Dame Cathedral at your own pace, or upgrade to include a small-group, escorted tour of the interior.
