Paris by Night Walking Tour: Ghosts, Mysteries and Legends

7.Paris by Night Walking Tour: Ghosts, Mysteries and Legends

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 924 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $18Best value

Walk from Pont Neuf to Hôtel de Ville with a guide such as Sophia, Daniel, Thelma, or Sylvia, hearing tales of executions, plagues, massacres, and royal intrigue. Expect about two hours, roughly 10,000 steps, and more dark history than supernatural scares.

“This tour did not fulfil the description it was given. Mainly historical facts, some of which were on the gory side but no ghost stories. Bit of a mystery how a luxury goods store, hotel and a theatre were included on the tour. And the rebuilding of Notre Dame I didn’t fall into the legends category. On the whole it was informative but lacked any kind of spooky entertainment .”
