Great Tour! Make sure to ask for Saeed! - I've always wanted to visit the Catacombs, so when I was planning a visit, I did not think a tour guide was necessary. Thankfully I opted to go with the guide, which made the experience that much more interesting and memorable. Our tour guide, Saeed, was awesome. He was very friendly and explained everything to expect on the tour. He was very knowledgeable and kept me engaged the whole time. Truly a fascinating experience. Thanks again Saeed.

A Must When in Paris - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the catacombs. Felt very intimate with our group of 15. Loved the personal tour versus having to use head phones.

Great experience - Our tour guide Addie was fabulous! Informative, personable, funny. Enjoyed her commentary immensely. The catacombs were very interesting and quite startling the first time you round the corner and there are the skeletons. I definitely recommend the tour.
