Great tour and great special access to other areas - Eleanor (sp) was an excellent guide. Walk was a little fast for the dark, uneven sections but our guide took care to keep us together. The history was very interesting and tour incredible!

Best way to visit the catacombs - Amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour as you get to learn a lot about the history of the catacombs and you get to see areas that you are not allowed to visit if your are on your own. Our tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic tour!! - My fiancée and I absolutely loved it!!! Jonny was our guide and he was so knowledgeable and friendly. This was my third attempt to try and see the catacombs and I am so glad that I found this tour. Can't recommend it enough if this is a site you've always wanted to see.

Fascinating tour of the Parisian underground crypt - This was a fascinating tour of the history of the catacombs of Paris. Our guide Johnny was very informative and made sure everyone could hear and see him as he shared stories and pictures of the hundreds of years this creepy yet incredible part of Parisian history! Wear comfy clothes, and shoes as you are sometimes going through wet and dank areas.

Amazing Catacomb Tour - What an amazing way to end our time in Paris. This small group tour not only allowed us to skip the line but afforded us the opportunity to see things we wouldn’t have normally seen. Our guide. “Leo” was fabulous. She shared so much history and knowledge, making the tour even more enjoyable. Well worth the price if you have a keen interest in catacombs. We highly recommend this tour.
