We begin the tour at the old home of the man who is claimed to be the most famous and powerful alchemist who ever lived.
This unsuspecting gothic medieval church, nicknamed "the Little Notre Dame," has captivated visitors to Paris for many years, which we will learn more about.
Once part of a larger church, what remains carries its own sort of mystical presence and history.
We will scratch underneath the surface of the real Notre Dame to reveal the hidden metaphors and meaning that were woven into the complex fabric of the structure. Please note that we do not go inside on this tour.
Savant writer, playwright... and magician? Explore more that is hidden in Shakespeare's work. Note - we will enter inside time permitting as there is usually a long time.
This church, written about in the Da Vinci Code, is the stuff of legends. Explore and learn more of what is hidden, and separate truth from fiction.

Wonderful, seamless experience, from booking to the guide to the contents. The tour is a vibe in itself. We were so impressed that we returned to the same company for one of their newer tours, earlier this year. We loved how bespoke each tour could feel due to the small overall size and the knowledge of the guide.
Mila was incredible! Our tour was so personally tailored to the interests my group had requested and it was above and beyond anything we could have expected. She was so knowledgeable but also so fun and it was the perfect blend of informative and entertaining. Would absolutely book another tour! We could have listened to her for hours.
Three friends and I took Mila's tour and it was fantastic. She brought so much knowledge, but also a fun curiosity, that we were all fast friends. We made many stops on the tour, but the best parts were the conversations that took place as we walked between them. So much shared interest, and we learned a great deal from her. I would absolutely do this again, what a cool way to see Paris!
I love stories of the mystical and macabre and this tour didn’t disappoint. So many incredible facts and legends about Paris in these places. Definitely worth seeing.
Was very nice to be guided thru and be educated! Very convenient! Not worries with a guide to be there for the whole trip! Place to place!
What an incredible tour - wonderful, deeply knowledgeable guide. My wife and I have been on dozens of tours and it is rare that we reschedule at the last moment. We were enthralled that the tour company was able to accommodate 'life happening' during our second holiday in France. The tour itself does go a bit deeper than the standard tours, which is remarkable in itself. If you want a greater depth of experience, focus, or the history of Paris, this particular tour is an absolutely perfect choice. We learned so much and had a splendid time of it all. 10/10
