The guide was amazing and explained stories of haunted places, hidden secrets, and tragic events. The atmosphere at night added to the spooky feeling. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves history with a twist!
Dark history, indeed! Great tour guide.

Our tour guide, Fannie, was great. She had some great stories and spent some time giving us ideas on other places to check out. We brought our children (11 & 13) and it was the right mix of history and scary stories. Definitely hit all the right notes. The lesson here was don't get out of line in Paris of old...painful punishments surely awaited you!
Intriguing and fascinating historical tour.

Fay was a great guide and very patient answering my father’s questions! The meeting point outside a beautiful library was easy to find. It is over a fascinating part of Paris near notre dame cathedral and easy to walk. It was something for all generations. It’s not a ‘shivers down your spine’ ghost tour but more factual and intriguing.
Fanny was an excellent...
