Overview

Step into the heart of Paris and uncover the secrets of its most iconic monument. This immersive walking tour takes you on a journey through time, revealing the hidden history, sacred symbolism, and architectural wonders of Notre Dame Cathedral—from its medieval foundations to its breathtaking rebirth after the 2019 fire.

You’ll begin outside the cathedral, where we’ll explore the geological and spiritual roots of the site, including the ancient Roman city that once stood here. Together, we’ll decode the Gothic language of stone—examining gargoyles, stained glass, and alchemical symbols woven into the cathedral’s facade.

As we walk around the Île de la Cité, you’ll hear stories of medieval builders, revolutionaries, writers like Victor Hugo who saved the cathedral from ruin, and the fire that nearly destroyed it all. Through visuals, maps, and rare anecdotes, you’ll gain an insider’s view of Notre Dame’s reconstruction and how this sacred space continues to evolve today.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
