Paris and it’s bloody past - Great tour. The guide was easy to find at the Henry IV statue. Information was fun and we learned a lot along the way. It was more about Paris’ dark past than ghosts. Group was small enough that everyone could hear easily when we stopped. Guide wore a mic too. Would highly recommend!

Ami is the best tour guide! - I visited multiple cities on my trip through Europe, and did a ghost tour in each city. Paris by Night was BY FAR the best! But I imagine that our guide, Ami, was the reason why. Ami is a great story teller. He told us stories involving the birth of the Friday the 13th curse, and the origin of the Sweeny Todd story! Ami is extremely personable, friendly, you can tell he loves telling stories! Ami captures a crowd, and pulls them in with engaging banter and comedic relief. This tour is a MUST when visiting Paris.
