Nos encantó el tour: muy recomendable.
Francisco fue un guía muy apasionado contando las leyendas de la ciudad.
Además nos dio mucha información para conocer la ciudad.
Ah, Paris! A city universally hailed as the City of Light and Love, but what lies behind this glittering facade is an underbelly of intrigue and secrets. Are you curious about the tales that Paris keeps so clandestine, the legends that are spoken of only in hushed whispers? If yes, then the Free Legends and Mysteries Tour is ideal for you. Step through the maze-like alleyways of Rue Chanoinesse where the dark tale of a barber and a baker eerily echoes the legend of Sweeney Todd. Shift your focus to the sinister history of Hôtel de Ville, one of Paris’s most harrowing landmarks. Here, you'll learn not just about the history of France’s first public executions, but also about the many political upheavals that have shaped the nation. This isn’t just an adventure; it’s an intimate window into the tumultuous history that tourist guides often overlook.
In the shadow of the awe-inspiring Notre Dame Cathedral, your guide will unravel the mysteries that loom large over this celebrated monument. Immerse yourself in the tales of miracles and demons, which, much like the intricate carvings on the cathedral itself, are etched deep into Parisian folklore. Ever wondered why gargoyles and chimeras keep vigilant watch over the city from their elevated vantage points? How about the surreal experiences Pablo Picasso had that ultimately led to the creation of some of his most renowned works? This isn't your average tour that stops at mere sightseeing; your knowledgeable guides dig deep to bring you narratives that are not only grounded in historical fact but also steeped in legend, evoking an exhilarating sense of wonder and curiosity.
Your guide will also discuss the often perilous and misunderstood fate of alchemists in the Middle Ages, each one eternally questing for the Philosopher’s Stone. Ever heard of the Conciergerie's most infamous prisoner? By the time this tour concludes, you'll know exactly who she was. In addition, you’ll learn about important stories that live at heart of Paris, such as France's Kilometer Zero, the mystical story behind why Louis XIV was called the "Miracle Child," and even the disturbingly macabre ingredients that once found their way into Paris’s most sought-after pastries. This is more than a tour; it's an unforgettable Parisian adventure. Don’t miss out! Secure your spot today and prepare for a tour that promises not just entertainment but a deep, enriching understanding of Paris like you’ve never had before.
