Paris Catacombs Tours Reviews

“Our guide’s enthusiasm carried the whole two hours, and it held our fifteen-year-old’s attention the entire way down. He kept feeding her details she is still repeating weeks later.”

“Being taken through gates that stay locked for everyone else is what made the Paris Catacombs feel worth the money rather than just interesting. Worth every euro of the difference.”

— Rebecca C., United States · couple · July 2026 · ★★★★★

“Our guide was superb, but on our date none of the restricted areas were open and we walked the same route as everyone with a door ticket. Worth asking before you book.”

— Elizabeth R., United States · solo · April 2026 · ★★★★

“There are a great many steps down and exactly as many back up. In between is a maze of neatly stacked bone with designs worked into it, and the Paris Catacombs are unlike anything else in the city.”

“Doing the Paris Catacombs at our own pace with the headset suited us perfectly. The cool air was a relief in August, and the commentary is genuinely good.”

— Annie L., Canada · couple · August 2026 · ★★★★★

“Booking three months out was the only reason we got in at all. Walk-up tickets had gone for the whole day by the time we arrived, and the visit itself is very moving.”

— Joy W., United Kingdom · couple · August 2026 · ★★★★★

“The audio guide carries all of it in whichever language you choose. It is not cheap for an hour underground, but we would still tell people to go.”

— Allison R., New Zealand · solo · July 2026 · ★★★★

“Our guide knew the Paris Catacombs and clearly loved them. The sections off the main route were the part we talked about for the rest of the trip.”

— Jacob M., United States · solo · July 2026 · ★★★★★

“The tour was easy to follow and the guide was excellent. The one thing to sort out beforehand is where you finish, because the exit is nowhere near where you start.”

— Kimberley P., United States · couple · July 2026 · ★★★★

“Standing among that many bones is genuinely something else, and our guide never let it tip into spectacle. None of us will forget it.”

— Margarita S., Spain · group · July 2026 · ★★★★★

“Andrei was clear, informative and easy to follow the whole way through the Paris Catacombs. Nothing was rushed.”

— Andrew G., United Kingdom · solo · May 2026 · ★★★★★

“The Paris Catacombs were fascinating, and the boat afterwards was a pleasant change of pace. The cruise commentary was hard to hear over the water, but the underground half more than carried the day.”

— Aaron T., United States · couple · August 2026 · ★★★★★

“The scale of the Paris Catacombs left us stunned — tunnel after tunnel of remains. Pleasantly cool on a hot day, and the audio guide is excellent.”

— Cory B., Australia · couple · August 2026 · ★★★★★

“Well organised and easy to find. The métro made getting between the Paris Catacombs and the river straightforward.”

— Melody K., United States · solo · July 2026 · ★★★★★

“Six of us and a guide, which meant we could ask questions instead of straining to hear over a headset. Of everything we did in Paris, the Catacombs restricted rooms were the highlight.”

— Elena F., Italy · first-timer · June 2026 · ★★★★★

“The two restricted chambers were the reason we booked, and they delivered. The Barrel is worth the fare on its own.”

— Hannah M., Ireland · couple · June 2026 · ★★★★★

“Our guide took us beyond the public path and explained how the corridors came to be used in the first place. It made sense of the whole place.”

— Tomas V., Germany · group · March 2026 · ★★★★★

“The guide pointed out details in the bone arrangements we would have walked straight past. Ninety minutes went quickly.”

— Sofia N., Portugal · first-timer · May 2026 · ★★★★★
