Go below the city streets of Paris to explore the darkest part of the City of Light — the Catacombs. You'll go where other tourists don't have access and learn who's buried in these 200 miles of tunnels. Explore the underground burial chambers for millions of Parisians who found their way to the Catacombs due to overcrowded cemeteries. You'll walk through corridors piled with bones, carefully and often artistically arranged, preserved for centuries in the ossuaries. Not only will your expert guide share strange legends about this subterranean underworld, but they'll also give you tips on how to find unique bone configurations and even art. The Paris Catacombs might be macabre and a little bit creepy, but it's an experience you're sure to always remember. Don't forget to end your tour by picking up a souvenir in the Paris Catacombs shop!

We had a blast on this tour. Amber, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, and spoke perfect English and French. She was friendly and did a great job of shepherding us through the space without feeling cramped or scared. I’m a little claustrophobic but I did just fine. On this tour, you get to go in some restricted areas that the other folks don’t get to do, which is really cool! I would recommend this tour 1000%, and make sure you get Amber - I can’t say enough good things about her!

Igor was absolutely phenomenal!! He was funny, attentive, and explained everything in great detail! I’ve been to the catacombs before but it was my wife’s first time. Because of Igor and his knowledge, she left with a huge smile on her face. Thanks so much for an amazing time!
