La faire une fois le soleil couché. Les bâtiments et pont sont éclairés. Il faisait très chaud, et c'était incroyable de voir toutes les personnes en bord de Seine occupées à chanter, danser, prendre un verre.. Le seul souci: le temps d'attente pour l'embarquement. Bcp bcp de monde. Au moins 45 min de file.

Es un experiencia muy linda, recomendada para todo aquel que vaya a Paris, y que no tenga mucho tiempo para recorrer. Había leído comentarios sobre largas filas y espera, pero en lo personal, la entrada fue más rápida de lo que esperaba :)

Très bonne expérience malgrés la pluie. Service à bord très agréable ( toilette, café, eau). 4 étoiles car le guide audio à parfois rencontré quelques problèmes. Mention spéciale à la guide présente au centre du bateaux, très agréable et très doué dans les 3 langues ( français anglais espagnol).

Last week

We booked an outdoor tour of Notre-Dame de Paris led by Martin, and we were thoroughly impressed. Martin was extremely personable and provided us with a wealth of interesting information that never felt boring or overwhelming. His sense of humor was particularly delightful, making the tour very lively and entertaining. He was also very patient and understanding with the group, even when not everyone could pay full attention at times—which wasn’t always easy for us with a small child in tow. Martin also showed us exactly where to line up and even kindly took photos of us. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that we would book again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend Martin; he helped make the tour of Notre-Dame a truly special and unforgettable experience for us.

It was freezing inside. I had to get a blanket. Server pushed champagne and i don't drink. Brought drink i didn't want and was shocked that i didn't drink it at the end. I have a gluten sensitivity and my husband doesn't eat fish. We couldn't eat the appetizer. So she brought nuts but it was just peanuts. Too loud. People talking, singer was amazing but too loud. You need more food allergy alternative foods

See Paris from two classic angles in one easy combo—start with a guided walk around Notre-Dame’s exterior on Île de la Cité, then wind down with a 1-hour evening cruise along the Seine.

Getting started

Meet your guide at the designated point on Île de la Cité and begin your tour in a small group of just 5 guests. After the walking tour, make your way to the Bateaux Parisiens boarding point for your cruise. With departures every hour and a ticket valid for 6 months, you can choose a timing that fits your plans.

What to expect

This experience blends two distinct ways of discovering Paris into one seamless plan. Begin on Île de la Cité, where a guided walk around Notre-Dame’s exterior brings centuries of history, architecture, and restoration efforts into focus through expert storytelling in an intimate group setting. Then, shift pace as you board a Bateaux Parisiens cruise for a relaxed 1-hour journey along the Seine, where illuminated landmarks and multilingual audio commentary offer a scenic, panoramic perspective of the city by night.

Features

Île de la Cité guided tour: Walk around Notre-Dame Cathedral’s exterior with your guide and discover the history, Gothic architecture, and restoration story of one of Paris’s most iconic landmarks.

Small-group experience: With a maximum of 5 guests, the walking tour feels more personal and gives you more room to engage with your guide.

Notre-Dame access: Entry to Notre-Dame Cathedral is free, so you can step inside independently after your guided exterior visit if you wish.

Bateaux Parisiens evening cruise: Board a 1-hour sightseeing cruise and enjoy a scenic ride along the Seine as Paris begins to light up for the evening.
