Paris Catacombs 2026

Our guide, Amber, was amazing. She made our time in the catacombs more interesting. We had access to a few locked areas and saw so much more.

An impressive and absolutely recommended experience!

The Paris Catacombs are truly fascinating and definitely worth a visit. With the personal audio guide, you learn a lot of interesting information about the history and the creation of the catacombs. However, you should be prepared for many steps when going down and later back up. It is also recommended to bring a jacket, as it is quite cool underground. Overall, a unique experience that you should not miss when visiting Paris!

What a cool experience!...

What a cool experience! Totally worth the price for access to areas of the catacombs that one cannot access with a regular ticket. Andre was a great guide who is super knowledgeable about the catacombs and Paris history.

Andrei was a great guide...

Andrei was a great guide and very knowledgeable. I’d say the only downside was the group was fairly large.
