Highlights
Notre-Dame Cathedral has stood for over 860 years — and after the 2019 fire, it has never looked more extraordinary than right now. Join an expert Paris guide for a tour around one of the world's greatest Gothic monuments — the Portal of the Last Judgment, the gargoyles, the flying buttresses, and the dramatic restoration story told from the outside where the true scale of the cathedral reveals itself. Three options available: Reserved semi-private interior tour with audio headsets (max 9 guests) — the only option where your guide accompanies you inside Guided walking tour with independent cathedral entry — walk with your guide, then enter the cathedral yourself at your own pace Fully private walking tour with independent cathedral entry — same as option 2 but exclusively for your group

About Paris
Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.
The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.
Top-ranked sights in Paris: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
