Tour was informative and the guide spoke English well. He also kept us moving but allowed time for everyone to take pictures. Steps were challenging but worth it.

Super nice tourguide. She explained everything very well and told us a lot. We even got to go into sections of the catacombs that where closed off. It was amazing! 10/10 would do again!

It was amazing! The Chapel was my favourite area, and learning about the history of collapses and development of the catacombs was something I had wanted to do for many years. The engineer who perished while reinforcing a section that collapsed on him, and having special access to see that area preserved in his memory was especially touching. The only criticism that I have is that I felt the lighting was too bright for the ambience of the environment. Thank you very much for a great experience, it exceeded my expectations!

Johnny was an absolutely amazing guide! He brought everything to life (pun intended 😂)!! ....The access to the smaller, private passages--the history, depth and just flat out wow-ness of it all has officially made this one of my most treasured memories of Paris....Merci!!!!
