We are Paris Tours, the first cooperative of tour guides operating in Paris in Spanish. We are proud to introduce ourselves as a group of ten experienced guides (historians, art historians, tourism professionals, teachers, etc.) with more than ten years of experience in the sector, committed to offering unique and enriching experiences to visitors to our beloved city. At our cooperative, we believe that the history and culture of France deserve to be told by passionate experts, and that there are still many aspects of the history of Paris that remain to be explored. To this end, we have created innovative thematic tours that will not only enrich your experience, but will also give you an authentic and exciting view of the city of lights.

Tour description

In the world of cathedrals, Notre Dame is the most famous. Its stone walls and dazzling stained glass windows have witnessed the passage of time. Built in the Middle Ages, it shines today as never before, the beating heart of the City of Lights. At Paris Tours, on the occasion of its reopening, we invite you to rediscover this World Heritage jewel.

On this one-and-a-quarter-hour tour, we want to reveal the secrets of its symbols, its history and the complexity of its recent restoration. On this tour, our guides will take you on a journey through time to delve into the richness and importance of the temple that Victor Hugo called a “sea of poetry.” Witness to Napoleon’s coronation; muse of Picasso’s brush; refuge of Charles De Gaulle and Macron to comfort a Paris shaken by fire, Notre Dame de Paris rises from its ashes with strength and pride.

Notre Dame is magic, beauty, spirituality and much more, discover it with Paris Tours.

We are waiting for you!
