Paris history walking tour through the old town

L’île Saint-Louis et l’île de la Cité will no longer have any secrets for you

Of course the île de la Cité is where Notre-Dame is located and we enjoy walking around it and talking about its eventful history… but the Paris’ biggest island is also very important in Paris history for welcoming an old Royal Palace as well as what we call a “Royal Square”. If you are looking for a Paris sightseeing tour while learning facts about Paris history, this tour is made for you!

We will also wander through the second Paris island, the île Saint-Louis, a treasure in the middle of Paris: only a few hundred people live there, there is no metro station… as if time had stopped there!

More than a classic Paris history tour, I will answer all your questions, I will ask you riddles and we share a true Parisian moment talking about history, culture, art… Of course, I will also provide with you Paris local tips with my favorite addresses where we can have a break if you’d like to: because as you know, Paris is also about food!

Visite saint louis et île de la cité : excellente expérience 95 avis sur Tripadvisor et que des notes de 5.0 ? Cela paraissait trop beau pour être vrai. Eh bien c'est vrai ! j'écris un 96ème avis avec une note de 5.0 :-) Sophie est dynamique et sympa, tout ce qu'il faut pour intéresser toute la famille (dont 2 ados de 12 et 15 ans) à l'histoire de l'île Saint Louis et de l'île de la Cité. Merci Sophie et à la prochaine pour une autre visite

Great experience Great experience. Customized our tour to what we wanted to see and listened to our input. Found an awesome lunch restaurant for my very picky eating needs. She took us to an elevated park and through old courtyards and other hidden places we would never know to look for.

Fantastic Guide Resulted in Total Fun Working with Sophie resulted in a bespoke tour that couldn't have been better. She not only helped us understand many of the popular places of Montmartre and the Latin Quarter, she took us down side streets to find hidden gems along the way. She was helpful before our trip, giving us tips on things to do near our apartment. And her lunch choice was absolutely fantastic. She quickly understood our family vibe and joined in all the fun. Probably the best tour guide one could ever have!

Delightful tour with Sophie! Our family of 5 (including 2 teens and a 7 year old) thoroughly loved our time with Sophie! It was the perfect balance of experiencing local culture, learning about history and contemporary Paris, and tasting local food and drinks. Sophie was able to keep the teens engaged with our visit to the flea market while our 7 year old was on the lookout for tile art scattered throughout the city - all while throwing in historical events and abundant information about the city. Sophie is charming and so personable, a natural born guide. We really cherished our time with her!

Family food tour Our family of five enjoyed the food walking tour with Sophie. Three boys (18-10 yrs old) stayed engaged and learned so much about Paris cuisine and history. Highly recommend.

We love Sophie! My whole family had an amazing time on two of Sophie’s tours of Paris! My husband, two teen sons and I did her walking tour of Montmartre and her off the beaten path breakfast tour. Sophie made it so easy for us to enjoy ourselves and have fun! She kept us smiling with stories and history about her favorite city and we left each time wanting more. We took other tours while in Paris but they all paled in comparison to her welcoming spirit. Sophie we look so forward to seeing you the next time that we are in Paris and are so grateful for our time with you!

Excellent Walking Tour Experience Sophie is an absolute gem! My fiancé and I took the Paris walking tour and experienced the sights, sounds, and tastes of the historic city with Sophie. She is knowledgeable about the history and culture, tailors her tour to your interests as you go, and makes you feel like you have been friends forever! Make sure to ask her about the history of each neighborhood, French culture, and the best places to stop for coffee and snacks. 5 stars!

We LOVED our tour with Sophie, she was so knowledgeable, took us on some really fantastic, covered passages and around some of the most historical buildings, giving us the history and cultural explanations along the way. She had fantastic recommendations for the rest of our trip and took us on such a fun tour. We'd recommend her to everyone!!
