Your tour begins on the island next to Notre Dame Cathedral, where you’ll be deciphering the intricate details of the stone façade of this Gothic masterpiece and learning the difference between a gargoyle and a grotesque. Despite the recent fire that partially destroyed its roof, you'll be able to witness the architectural majesty of this medieval monument!

Stop At: Sainte-Chapelle, 8 Boulevard du Palais, 75001 Paris France

Finally the dazzling Sainte Chapelle, a masterpiece of medieval engineering with walls made entirely of stained glass. You’ll learn about the king behind this ambitious and costly project, and the high-profile relic for which the chapel was built.


Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Conciergerie, 2 boulevard du Palais, 75001 Paris France

Next it’s the Conciergerie, a former royal palace and infamous prison that struck fear into the hearts of its detainees. You’ll see the sprawling vaulted ceilings of the Salle des Gens d’Armes, the world’s largest gothic hall and discover old prison cells, offering different levels of comfort according to the social status of the prisoner.

Terrible! We waited at designated Departure spot for an hour. Called and texted provided contact numbers…no response! Have not heard a word and we paid over $1000 for the tour! Completed ghosted!

Total no show. Waited over 45 minutes, called tour operator twice, no answer. Called La Vacanza Travel who also could not get a hold of them. We set off on our own, Sainte Chappelle was not accepting ANY tickets bought through La Vacanza Travel. Total disaster.

The guide never showed up. The local agency Tour like a Local, did not answer. Awful experience. Stay away!

We learned SO much on this tour and really enjoyed ourselves. We loved our Greek named guide which I'm ashamed not to remember his name. He knew his stuff and brought St. Chapelle and the Conciergerie to life. He was obviously so knowledgeable and friendly; it made it so great.
