Great to see Saints Chapelle and learn about Notre Dame. The Concirie is kind of a nothingburger and skippable.

No one should miss Saint Chapelle. The church was absolutely stunning. Plus our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the entire buildings.

An extraordinary tour guide. Adam’s knowledge is broad and deep. He clearly enjoys teaching and it shows. He manages to anchor you in periods, choosing details that perfectly illustrate moments in time. He brought historic moments to life and humanized figures from history. Best of all is Adam’s delivery-playful but also reverent when the moment calls for it.
He is one of the best tour guides we have ever had. My husband and I love history and travel-he taught is so much. My three young adult daughters with other interests were also captivated.
Thank you Adam for leaving our family excited to learn more. You have a gift - the ability to be the bridge that transports people to another time.

We had a fabulous tour with Daniel. We scheduled the tour specifically to see Saint Chappelle, and it didn’t disappoint. The unexpected pleasure was what a great tour guide Daniel was and all of the Paris history we learned. I highly recommend this tour.
