    Without any warning, our tour was cancelled for “technical reasons “. We were not told of the reason and we were not notified of the closing. We wasted our time.

    Highly recommended if you're trying to do as much as possible in Paris

    My wife and I prebooked this tour before we arrived just in case there was a line. There was a short line so I wouldn't say it was entirely necessary, but I recommend prebooking things like this as much as possible anyways (Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Normandy tour, etc.). I had forgotten our tour included the audio-guide so we skipped picking them up and went straight down after the bag-check. It's a long spiral staircase downwards followed by the long and windy catacombs. The informational displays were informative as well. Ends with an equally long spiral staircase back up. Highly recommend!

    Underwhelming

    A little underwhelming. Long stone spiral staircase down, then long, long empty corridors til we reached the catacombs. The audio guide was bothersome to start, advance, start again. We exited far away from the entrance and we’re totally lost. Had to find a taxi and just go back to hotel.

    Length of the experience was sufficient. Not too claustrophobic, but very creepy nonetheless, recommend!

    It was great to see the long line and we just walked to the front at our scheduled time. The checkin process was very quick and easy. We loved the Catacombs !!!

    WARNING! lots of stairs

    A very interesting, and very informative day trip. There was lots of information about the history of the catacombs, and how they came about. It was easy to locate and access via public transport. I believe the optional headsets enhanced the experience and are very much worth it.

    Unique experience well worth it

    No wait with buy ahead tickets, looked like the line would have been about a half hour long m otherwise. Guided tour was nice, go at your own pace with audio recordings. Lots of steps down and back up (about 120 each) so keep that in mind. Great experience in the catacombs

    Arrived but were not allowed entry. Very disappointing as we had to repurchase tickets to enter the Catacombs. Stressful experience and currently awaiting refund.

    Hello Catherine, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. You booked on February 15 and we sent you on the same day the tickets for the Catacombs. The tickets were sent through Viator message system. You also received them directly on your email address. This information is indicated on the product page as well as the voucher you receive automatically a few seconds after placing your order. Please check your email and/or Viator message system. Although the tickets were sent to you prior to your visit (13 days before), you did not print them or download them on your phone. And you went directly with the voucher you received automatically a few seconds after you booked. As it's indicated on this voucher "This is not your entry ticket". That is why you were not allowed entry. If you had shown the tickets we sent you you will have been able to enter. You did not try to contact us when you were denied entry or asked the Catacombs to contact us so we could resent you your tickets. We were contacted more than 5 hours later by Viator and that point the Catacombs were already closed and there was nothing we could do. Thank you, Pierre

    Definitely worth prebooking. Especially if you have children. My son (9) enjoyed it as we could go at own speed.
