Semi-Private: Ile de la Cité Tour + Notre-Dame Skip-the-Line
This is not your average large-group tour. Our semi-private experience is designed for travelers who want a more personal, engaging way to explore Paris. With fewer people in each group, you’ll enjoy easier interaction with your expert guide, plenty of opportunities to ask questions, and a relaxed pace through the historic heart of the city.
We focus on the essentials — the story of Île de la Cité, the fascinating details of Notre-Dame’s architecture and restoration, and reserved timed entry so you can step inside the cathedral without waiting in long lines. It’s the perfect way to experience one of Paris’ most iconic sites with context, comfort, and convenience.
