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.
  • Latin Quarter - Cross the river into the historic Latin Quarter, and meander the cobblestone streets where you’ll hear the stories and learn of the characters—poets, philosophers, artists—that made Paris the City of Light.
  • 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.

Adam was great! - Adam’s storytelling was amazing - it was the first time I didn’t zone out during a 3-hour period, which happens to me quite often! Did not at all feel like a lecture, and questions were encouraged. Even beginners in history can follow, as it did not feel intimidating. Amazing part of Paris to discover, fun stories, wonderful delivery…you will not be bored!

Yes, Medieval to Revolutionary France history can rock your world - This was a good tour made fabulous by Adam, one of the only tour guides I have met with a Ph. D. This tour was informative with detailed information but more entertaining than any Netflix show. Team Adam was looking for our tattoos by the end of this amazing tour. Book this tour and pray you get Adam.

Team Adam - Team Adam was a lively, educational tour that we thoroughly enjoyed—from start to finish. Adam did an outstanding job with our group, providing a professional, engaging tour that we went away from feeling like we’d just taken a short college course. Two big thumbs up for him and your company. Thank you!

This is a WALKING tour with a voucher for a Seine River Cruise to be taken at a separate time. - Enjoyed the walking tour. Our guide Manuel was very informative. We did not realize the 3 hour tour did not include the time for the Seine River cruise so we weren’t really prepared for a 3 hour walk. We had been looking for a river cruise and the first thing listed on the tour title was the Seine River Cruise so that is the part we expected to be first.

Informative. - This was just ok. The seats on the boat were not very comfortable. The narrator was informative but having the information repeated in French and English was a little redundant. I would have preferred an English only version to pick from.

Bad, bad, bad - Tour guide did not show up. I was told there was email. The app was not updated- the app is bad and the web portal is not working. Good tour when they happen. The technology and business processes are BAD. I’m out a lot of money
