The place very impressive. Too bad it is only 1% of the catacombs. If it had been more it would have been wonderful. I really mean.

This has been on my bucket list for years, visiting the Catacombs was the only reason went to Paris so waiting for the Catacombs to release the tickets 7 days prior to our visit made me nervous so I "risked" using Headout. They had no problems accepting the tickets, I printed them out as I didn't receive the email until after the booking but I usually print them anyway to be safe. I'll definitely be using Headout for my future travels

The Montparnasse tour was really interesting and our tour guide was awesome. She recommended a ton of great local restaurants and clubs to check out in addition to the tour. Really recommend the Catacombs as well.

Unaware of the vast bones in the millions. A must see. The bones are so organized. Tunnels are deep under ground and easy accessibility.

Explore the ancient past of Paris as you make your way along a maze of walls lined with skulls and bones. Learn all about how the Catacombs came to be and discover the role they’ve played on the city’s past and present. Hear urban legends, ghost stories, and tales about secret Cataphile parties.
