E-Tickets received in email without any hassles. Give five stars for headout's efficiency and we also booked from them for Versailles. Just that at the Seine cruise, after we entered the line for the cruise, a staff working at the entrance approached us and instructed us, in an extremely impolite tone, to exit the queue and go back to the end of the queue again. I had to ask him why 3 times before he told me his reason. He mistook that we had crossed under the cruise line to get to the front of the queue. I told him to verify the facts with his colleague at the entrance, as I actually had a conversation with the first guy before entry. He did apologize after the verification, but the fact was also that there was nobody behind us. Not the only time I'd suffered French arrogance from those in the service industry. Same feeling I had with the numerous comments I've read on other websites: if you do not have a welcoming and accommodating nature, do not work in the travel or service industry. It is normal for tourists to ask questions and seek verification as we do not live in the city and most do not speak your language. Please be more accommodating, and not destroy the country's good image with arrogance. You are at the front line and the first choice whom tourists seek help from. The general public was helpful and polite, and at no time we felt threatened or intimidated.

The attraction was amazing, well-thought out and a chilling historical education. Thank you! It was super easy to book, the people at the entrance guiding us in were friendly and accommodating. All around a fantastic time! I'd definitely recommend this to all!

Your experience

Paris Catacombs

Leave the hustle and bustle of Paris behind, as you descend 131 steps and ascend 112 steps to reach the world's largest underground cemetery–Paris Catacombs. Plug in your audio guide and let your journey begin down a one-way narrow passageway that is lined with the bones and skulls of over six million Parisians. The slow walk through these passages will take you back in time, sharing gripping stories of its history, architecture, significance, and so much more. Complete the circuit in an hour and ascend 112 steps to re-enter light and life, above ground.

Seine River Cruise

Upgrade your ticket to include a 1-hour relaxing cruise on the Seine River. The cruise ticket gives you access to a pre-recorded audio guide (in a language of your choosing), narrating interesting facts about renowned Parisian landmarks that you'll pass by, including the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and The Louvre.
