Tour of Notre Dame (exterior) and Saint Chapelle - June was incredible. The tour was incredible because of June. We wish June could provide all of our European tours. (This isn’t June writing, by the way!)

A Truly Inspiring Parisian Experience: Notre Dame Walking Tour & Sainte Chapelle - We recently took the combined Notre Dame Outdoor Walking Tour and Entrance to Sainte Chapelle, and it was an absolutely essential experience for any visitor to Paris. This tour provided a perfect balance of deep historical context and breathtaking architectural beauty, all centered on the Île de la Cité. The Notre Dame Walking Tour (5/5) Our guide, June, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making the history of Notre Dame come alive. While the interior of the cathedral remains closed for reconstruction, the walking tour expertly navigated the exterior, teaching us about the gargoyles, the flying buttresses, and the profound cultural impact of the 2019 fire. June handled the sensitivity of the reconstruction effort with grace, offering hope and historical perspective. It provided a powerful, emotional, and deeply informative look at a monumental structure currently being reborn. Sainte Chapelle: A Symphony in Glass (5/5) The highlight of the entire experience was undoubtedly the visit to Sainte Chapelle. Having the pre-booked, skip-the-line entrance was invaluable, saving us significant time. Once inside, the experience was transformative. The lower chapel is beautiful, but ascending to the upper chapel is truly like stepping into a jewel box. The sheer scale and vibrancy of the 15 massive stained-glass windows, depicting over 1,000 scenes from the Bible, is overwhelming in the best possible way. We were lucky to visit on a sunny day, and the light filtering through the glass cast a spectacular, ethereal glow across the space. It is a masterpiece of Gothic art and easily one of the most stunning interiors in the world. This visit alone justifies the cost of the tour. Final Verdict If you want to understand the history of Île de la Cité and witness one of the world's most stunning examples of medieval stained glass, book this tour. The organization was seamless, the commentary was excellent, and the combination of the exterior history of Notre Dame with the quick, guaranteed access to Sainte Chapelle made for a perfect, memorable

Beautiful and Majestic - We took a walking tour of Notre Dame while we were in Paris, and I am so glad we did. We were able to avoid crowds and see a lot more. The tour guide was great, and it was well worth the cost to have an expert show us around. I cannot remember his name, but he was a fashion designer trying to get started there in Paris. Very personable and knowledgeable.
