★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,000 reviews · 2 hours · from $35Our pick

Explore Paris after dark on a two-hour walking tour of executions, Templars, haunted landmarks, Notre Dame legends, and eerie local lore.

“The tour was great. It will take you around Notre Dame stopping at roughly 6 to 8 times to tell stories. I found it interesting as the stories were not all about the distant past. Some stories were of the recent past. Photos shown at the sites were also used to help give the stories a 3rd dimension. This tour is for you if you want something darker and off the beaten path.”
