Description

The lofty ideals of art and love, so universally associated with Paris, the city of light, are often just that... ideal, but the cruel reality often prevails. It happened to the French capital as well. Murder, magic, occult, mystery, cemeteries, alchemists - all that is very present here, until this very day.

Loved lt

Our guide really knew her onions! She was fun and engaging. I hope I don't have nightmares tonight!

With Passion

The Tour guide (Katy) had something about her when she’s telling the history. She activates your imagination and let it runs wild. Very informative and interactive with the guests. I would love to do a tour with her again. Love it! Definitely recommended!!

Interesting and cheeky tidbits about Paris

Reuben (the vampire) stepped into this tour with a lot of confidence. While it was not his usual tour, he was still very engaging with the audience, asking questions, and he had lots of interesting trivia about Paris' macabre history. He kept the tour light and fun despite its darker content. Walking the streets at night with a knowledgeable guide made me feel safe. An excellent tour for a quick insight into Paris. Thank you, Reuben, for a great tour!

Paris mysteries

Eva was the perfect guide! She made a two hour experience full of mysteries and good stories. Book this tour!

Nice little Extra

Of course this is not useful, but a nice evening entertainment. Every bigger City is a breeding place for dark stories, here they are. I had fun, it was actually really good
