Very much enjoyed my tour experience with Adrien! My tour included a walk alongside Notre Dame, the Latin Quarter neighborhood, 2 nearby churches (where we went in and had time to walk around) and culminated at Saint Chapelle which was glorious. Our guide Adrien was friendly, knowledgeable and easy going. I recommend this tour!
Adrien was great! Even though I’d seen many of these sites before I learned a lot and really enjoyed the tour.
Informative and beautiful this tour was the perfect way to learn about Notre Dame and see Sainte Chappelle. We felt like insiders among the throngs of visitors and our tour guide easily led the tour to the front of lines. It was a welcomed morning touch to stop for coffee at a café and enjoy a pastry.
