Paris Semi Private Walking Tour of Ile-de-la-Cité

Explore, admire and learn all about Île de la Cité, the birthplace of Paris and home to its beloved Notre Dame Cathedral.

LivTours Ile de la Cite Paris Walking Tour is a semi-private experience that takes place on an island right in the center of the River Seine, the birthplace of Paris and home to its beloved Notre Dame of Paris Cathedral. The island, known as Ile de la Cite, is one of two natural islands as the Seine River flows through Paris. This tour takes you through this history-rich district that hosts gorgeous Gothic churches and historic buildings.

On this engaging tour, you will discover the history of Ile de la Cite, which was originally home to Roman settlers, how it hosted a palace, and the many subsequent purposes it has served, including a hideaway from enemy attack. However, from 1869 onwards, this once populated island can only officially be called home by less than 1,000 people. You will be intrigued by your guide’s engaging explanations as you explore the center of Paris.

Come take a walk back in time on Paris’ most historic island!

ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY When you book a LivTours Small Group Tour, you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people. Please bear in mind, however, that in order to accommodate families and friends traveling together, we do on rare occasion make the exception of adding an additional one to two guests in order to not split the groups of those that are together. On that same note, you may very well find yourself on tour with less than six people! As we accept bookings in multiples of six, math doesn’t always work in our favor to help accommodate individual travellers and their families when on the same tour, so we hope you understand and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
