This semi-private VIP tour will ensure you get the most out of this exceptional visit, allowing you to bypass the lines and spend more time enjoying this unique and fragile site.

Once in a lifetime experience. You will not be able to believe the number of bones. Book the tour way ahead. The tour gives access to extra areas and skip the line. If you are taller than 6 foot, you'll need to duck in a number of places. There are spots where the roof drips water on you and the path can be wet. Will be scary for children and anyone claustrophobic.

Maria was a wonderful, bubbly, knowledgeable guide…her enthusiasm and patience made it that much more enjoyable! Was skeptical of the “VIP” tour, but realized we really did get to see things behind “lock and key”! If you are fortunate enough to get Maria, you will not be disappointed!!!

Absolutely wonderful. While the attraction was great, Remmy made it an amazing experience that I will recommend to everyone planning to come to Paris. This has been the highlight of our monthlong vacation.
