I’ve visited Sainte Chapelle a couple times before - but never took a tour - and I had never been to the Conciergerie. It was interesting to learn about both places together. A semi-private tour is a really good option. Iasson was an engaging guide! He was super knowledgeable about French and religious history, very responsive to our questions and deferred to our priorities during the tour.
Merve was so knowledgeable about the art history and historical significance of Saint Chappelle, Concierge and Notre Dame!
Our visit to Conciergerie and Sainte-Capelle with Nadia, our guide, was excellent. My main goal was to visit the beautiful Sainte-Chapelle, but Conciergerie was just as fascinating. Nadia was very knowledgeable about the French Revolution and I appreciated her insights into the history and moods of the people during those volatile years. Nadia also brought to life the stories of the amazing stained glass windows of the Sainte-Chapelle. This tour was definitely worth it. Well done Nadia!
We learned and saw so much. Marine was a lovely guide and extremely knowledgeable; having a guide added a lot to the experience.
I booked the Saint Chapelle / Conciereges tour during my stay in Paris. Alban was our group’s tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history behind both buildings and, indeed, about French history overall. We also had a brief walk around the front of Notre Dame. Again, Alban was great explaining some of the history there. He is a pleasant person, very engaging. Saint Chapelle is beautiful, highly recommended tour!
This is wonderful experience and excellent tour. I am the only one on this tour . Miriam became my private guide. She is knowledgeable and very pleasant ; an excellent tour guide. We had wonderful conversations. However, the meeting place has not clarified at front of Café, had a little trouble to meet Miriam. All in all, Saint Chapelle is spectacular and intricate, the beautiful stained glass windows narrate the biblical history and stories. Learn a lot from Miriam. The Conciergerie is magnificent gothic architecture, has historical significance.
Nadia was great! She was so knowledgeable and Saint Chapelle was so amazingly beautiful. And the tour extended to the halls of justice which were also very interesting!
Nadia was both knowledgeable and fun. She had so many amazing facts about French history and kept us thirsty to know more
Booked tour and received text confirmation . Vendor canceled tour with out our knowledge . We arrived and planned our day around the tour , which they canceled .
We are very sorry this happened during your stay in Paris. Due to extreme heat, the site was closed. Your tour was canceled, and a full refund was processed. As the closure was entirely beyond our control, there was no way for us to operate the experience as planned. We sincerely regret the disappointment this caused and hope you'll have the opportunity to visit again under better circumstances.
A very interesting tour with excellent information provided by our tour guide. Fully recommend this tour which is the right length for the information and areas visited. The stained glass windows of Saint Chapelle are amazing in their complexity and small sizes of each piece of glass.
