Meet your guide at the Cité metro station and enter the Sainte-Chapelle. Admire the stunning stained-glass windows, which are among the best-preserved examples of 13th-century craftsmanship. In the upper chapel, be surrounded by 15 towering panels depicting vivid biblical scenes in brilliant reds, blues, and golds—a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of light.

Wow. An absolutely magical experience. The small group meant the tour was really intimate. Anaïs our guide was so knowledgable about the history of the buildings, architecture and culture. I could not recommend this tour highly enough. Everything ran smoothly from booking through to end. Toorers attention to detail really made the experience easy. Thank you Toorers for making my trip so special!!

Elise was friendly, well-informed, and energetic. She added context to our tour in an enjoyable manner. We would be lucky to have her conduct our next tour. Joseph D.
Bonjour Joseph! Thank you so much for this review! We're very glad you enjoyed your Notre Dame & Sainte Chapelle experiencie with Elise and that you were able to enjoy a personalised moment with her. Soo you soon back in Europe! Toorers
We had a fabulous guide, Raffael. Know that they meet at the time and not much before. Many tourists, including us, worried when our guide arrived only seconds before our tour. Others should know not to worry. It was perfect to go early and the two sights in one tour was perfect
We highly appreciate your review and are very glad you had a lovely tour with our guide. We take also note of the slight delay you may have had, and will improve this for all of our future tours. Cheers from Toorers!
Elise was amazing!!! Her knowledge of the area was absolute perfection. This was the BEST tour we took in Paris…. Merci, Elise!!!!!
