Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris - Your tour continues to one of the most beloved spots of Paris, the Medieval masterpiece known as the Notre Dame Cathedral.

Notre Dame is temporarily closed to the public, but you can still learn about this architectural wonder and admire it from afar. When touring around this storied cathedral, take extra time to appreciate its noteworthy use of the flying buttresses.
These revolutionary outdoor arches helped architects accommodate the soaring interior heights associated with High French Gothic.

In addition to learning more about Notre Dame’s past, your guide will fill you in on future renovations at France’s famed cathedral so you know exactly when to plan your next trip to Paris!

Experiencing 3000 years of history in less than 2 hrs. - Amber our guide was very knowledgable, personable and engaging.- not just with adults but also my grandson age 10. I appreciated her patience with the younger one age 7. She walked us through different periods of Parisian history from its inception through the monarchies. i highly recommend her.

Private 3 hours BIKEk tour LIV tours Paris with Thomas - We had a fabulous private bike tour with Thomas, who took us to see the sights in Paris. Our family of 5 (kids aged 11, 14, 16) enjoyed the information and the pace in the heat wave - Thomas was very accommodating to our needs, checking for our safety on the roads, spraying us with mist if we looked hot, offering water and sunscreen. A private bike tour is the perfect way to see the sights at your pace and Thomas was a fabulous guide. We did several LivTours in Paris and Rome and would have booked more except that they had already sold out. All guides were fabulous, on time, relaible and great communication before meeting and on the day. Thanks for showing us around!!
