The tour was a great mix of the most important sights in this particular part of the city. It did not feel like your average tour, where you just cross all the tourist hotspots off the list, but with ample time to learn more about the Île-de-la-Cité in general. This is a tour for people who enjoy a deep-dive on history, architecture and "facts" rather than gossip or celebrity talk. Pascaline, our guide was super friendly and was happy to expert talk about the ancient buildings and bridges that we crossed. Since this is a small group, you definitely get to engage with the tour guide more, or simply hang back and enjoy a nice evening walk. A word of advice: this tour is offered as a bilingual tour, and I was impressed that it actually worked out somehow. However, I also felt that a lot of time was spent waiting for the translation for the other guys to finish. This gives you time to rest and enjoy the sights and take pictures, but also cuts "your time" of the tour short.

Lea was an amazing tour guide! She was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgable. We learned so much from her about the nearby monuments and Notre Dame. She also accommodated for our schedule and needs. She transformed our experience of these churches and monuments in this neighborhood of Paris. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!

Or tour guide was exceptionally pleasant and armed with a true history of Notre Dame through the centuries. She brought many pictures and maps regarding the area so we could walk through the history with her. She was patient with questions and glad to impart her knowledge. Although we couldn't tour Notre Dame due to the fire, she took us around the exterior to explain its history, then on a tour through "Little Notre Dame", Saint Severin church. I would recommend a personal tour to anyone.
