We really enjoyed our time in the catacombs with our guide, Remi. Being able to access the restricted areas and have a knowledgeable guide is definitely worth the price.
I purchased a tour with 6 people, upon arrival the group had 18 people, 3 times more than advertised. They combined 3 groups for what reason I do not know. So I paid over $500 to not be able to hear the guide and miss half of what she was showing. I want reimbursement. Terrible experience.
The meeting spot was very easy to find. The tour guy took us over right away, maybe 20 in the group. First thing is a spiral staircase about 5 stories down. I am a bit claustrophobic and was worried but once you are down there it’s fine! Ceilings are low. I am 5’1, no issues. We were guided through tunnels with brief explanations about the history, which was fascinating. We got to go to 2 VIP parts not open to public. Guide was very informative and entertaining. Tour was about 2 hours. Stair climb back up wasn’t to fun 😁. Overall this was a great experience. I would however suggest a guided tour as opposed to self guided. The Tour Guy is also a great company to use for other tours as well! We did the Louvre Closing Tour with them!
A rare and interesting experience, with lots of history and macabre. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour come alive.
This was one of the best parts of our trip to Paris! Leo was so amazing and knowledgeable, and honestly we wouldn't have learned half the things we did about the Catacombs had we not gone on the tour with her. You can tell that she is really passionate about this piece of Paris' history. The whole tour was so interesting and having so much great context really made our trip to the Catacombs that much more incredible. Make sure to request Leo as your guide if you can, 10/10 would recommend!!
