      Full description

      Avoid the hassle of ticket counters. Simply show your voucher, start your self-guided tour and explore the 'City of Lights' at your own pace with an informative audio guide.

      As you discover a world beneath the streets of Paris, see tunnels and rooms decorated with the human bones and skulls of around 6 million Parisians. The Paris Catacombs were originally a quarry with hundreds of kilometers of tunnels burrowed beneath the streets of Paris. When the cemeteries of Paris became overfilled, the city started moving the dead into the Catacombs.

      Buying the tickets ahead of time was definitely the right decision! They were sold out the day we got there. We got personal guide tours for the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, both of which were worth it. However, the audio tour was enough for the Catacombs. Very well done, and a must see when in Paris.

      Great experience! We arrived a little early and waited in the security line until it was our turn. Tickets were hard to buy directly in the catacombs site, and they were sold out for the day when we arrived at 11:00 am). I’m so glad we booked through Get Your Guide! The audio tour was very helpful and interesting.

      This was an educational tour with a combination of good exercise walking down and through the tunnels. The exhibits of skulls n bones were respectfully presented with the audio guide of great help to understand the history and background. Highly recommended
