Fun tour with an amazing guide - We loved this tour! It was so fun seeing some extra things that we wouldn’t have been able to see without the tour. Leo was the best guide! She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the catacombs. Leo really made the tour for us and was the reason it was our favorite thing we did in Paris

Great tour! Our guide... - Great tour! Our guide Amber was so great, very engaging and informative. The small group size was perfect. We got to go into a few restricted areas with really interesting artifacts. I feel like I got much more out of the experience than if I had gone through without a guide.

We saw dead people! - My wife and I usually fend for ourselves when we tour but we decided to splurge on a guided tour of the Catacombs and we’re very glad we did! Amber was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed learning the history of this amazing place. Highly recommended!

AMAZING Guide! - We loved this tour! Our guide was Léo, and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does and has a passion for the Catacombs. She was so knowledgeable and excitable which made it even more special for us! She gave us access to parts of the Catacombs that are restricted to the general public, and gave us in depth knowledge and pointed out fine details.
