Paris Catacombs Tour & Tickets

Very interesting and Macabre experience. Though the staff weren't all that friendly or helpful or cheerful come to that. But the Catacombs were very well set up and it was astonishing to see so many dead people's bones on display.

Ticketing experience with headout was smooth and easy. Just there was still waiting in line even with timed-tickets and it was raining so hard on the day of our visit which made the waiting in line worse. But the experience inside was great, except with an encounter of a creepy man who wore an ID who took pictures of us inside.

The experience in the catacombs was great. There were no lines. The recorded messages that accompany the excursion or a very informative.

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.

.It is not for everyone as the space is not very tall (5'10" max probably without ducking). There are 120+ stairs to go down and 80+ to come up, both of which are spiral and small. We enjoyed learning much more about Paris history in this underground world.

It was a great tour with a FANTASTIC host! Lots of fun info. Her accent wasn’t too strong that native English speakers would have any difficulties understanding. Her interest and passion for the Catacombs was easy to see which made for a better experience. The only issue I have is the booking processs. Rather than start out an email with “we cannot fit you at the 5 PM time...” say “we rescheduled you to the 4:45 PM time.” 15 minutes really won’t make a difference to most people. I missed the second part of the email where you reordered to reschedule us 15 minutes earlier until he next day. I was SO upset and bummed out! But when I saw that it was still an option to go (just 15 minutes earlier) I was elated! Try rescheduling people for minor time changes with the option to cancel rather than telling them “too bad, it’s overbooked” to begin with. Again, FANTASTIC tour and host! I cannot day enough great things about our host! She’s worth every penny and more.

While it was great, it did get a little chilly in the evening. And I wasn't prepared to face the slush on the ground as well. Wear your best gumboots so that it doesn't dampen your mood along with your feet! Other then that the tour was brilliantly put together, we had enough time to roam about and ask questions in case we had any.

The guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the catacombs. Being a small group made it easy for everyone to hear and ask questions. We also we let into areas not open to general tours which made it even more special. We absolutely loved the tour.
