    The guide was a little unsure of historical details and relied on the wow factor of the skeletal remains and some stone sculpture in the catecombs. I expected a detailed serious history journey for €158. I did not receive that but received instead a learnt off script. Answers of questions outside of that script were unsatisfactory.

    Our guide Leo was so excited and knowledgable about the catacombs! We were very engaged in the many stories and history of the catacombs and surrounding area. The use of photos on the guide's phone really helped to tie everything together. My only complaint is that Leo arrived about 15 minutes late to the meeting point. After that, everything moved along well.

  • Step into the depths of history

    Descend into the hauntingly fascinating Paris Catacombs on a guided tour. Discover the transformation of an ancient quarry into the world’s largest underground ossuary, where the skulls and bones of six million Parisians are meticulously arranged. As you walk through 1.5 kilometers of narrow, dimly lit passages, your guide will bring history to life with intriguing stories, myths, and centuries-old secrets hidden beneath the streets of Paris.

    Exclusive access to restricted areas

    Unlock sections of the Catacombs that are off-limits to the general public, including burial sites of iconic French figures such as Lavoisier and Robespierre. With a small group size capped at 19 people, the tour offers a more intimate experience, giving you plenty of opportunities to interact with your guide, ask questions, and gain deeper insights into this eerie yet captivating underworld.
