5.Ghosts, Legends & Mysteries Evening Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 241 reviews · 2 hours · from $15Best value

Walk through central Paris for two hours with an English-speaking guide such as Ami, Natalie, or Rimi. Hear grim tales of the Templars, Marie Antoinette, royal violence, murder, disease, and ritual lore while visiting the Conciergerie, Île de la Cité, and historic fountains.

“Ami is a very good storyteller and knows a lot of historical stories, it was an interesting tour. We’ve done a few ghost walks before in cities and they have involved a lot more walking, I felt we stood a lot and didn’t travel so far. We d done a walking tour a few days before and the information was quite similar. I thought Paris would have more gruesome and relatively unheard stories rather than hearing about the more well known history.”

We had traveled across town which cost a total of €40. The weather was cold…54° but no rain or storm. People walked freely among the cemetery. I don’t know what weather our guide was talking about. Again, very disappointing and would like compensation.”
