This was definitely one of the most interesting tours we did in Paris. Learning about all the legends as well as the true stories was great! I unfortunately do not remember the name of our guide but we toured with him on the night of February 11th 2023, and he was so knowledgeable and such an amazing public speaker! If you want to do something different in Paris book this tour! You will not regret it!

Great experience and highly recommended. Tour guide was fantastic, funny, knowledgable, and personable — especially considering this is a dark secrets tour. The walk wasn’t overly long, bur definitely recommend you wear comfy shoes. The stories were fascinating and wished it could go on all night. Five stars for the tour and five stars for the guide!

Morgan was amazing. We’re from NYC and he kept us engaged and attentive the entire time. It was definitely interesting and we learned some dark French history as we walked around Paris. Thank you Morgan!!!

I wouldn’t recommend this activity for kids younger 16, though my 12 yo kid was super excited to know what crazy things happened in Paris.

Super exciting tour, highly recommended. A different kind of city tour.
