We always recommend comfortable walking shoes on all of our tours. The temperature inside the Catacombs is always around 14°C/57°F, no matter what time of year, so it's a good idea to bring a light sweater.

Booking ahead of time saved us so much time. This was a self guided tour however we were able to purchase tickets ahead of time allowing us to plan our stay and other tours instead of directly through the Catacombs which only allow you to purchase 7 days ahead

The device used is like a cell phone that you activate at specified points in tour. Loved it. >130 steps down and back up. Unusual experience and history. Worth the time and money.

So glad I booked this tour with Tour Guy! At noon, it was already sold out and people who didn't have tickets were being turned away. My original email from Tour Guy explained I was to meet across the street at a Café, but when the time came, no one was at that Café. The catacombs were maybe 50 feet away though, so we just got in line there. I think if our tour had an actual tour guide we would have met at the café, but our tour was just an audio guide. No worries though - we had tickets and we saw the catacombs!

Overall great!

I tried to book tickets at the last minute and there were no available ones on the website . Luckily, The Tour Guy had available tickets online. Tickets we bought included audio guides. Delivery to the email was convenient. We were able to breeze through the entrance without any issues. Highly recommended tour!

Convenient

Using The Tour Guy was very easy and convenient. We were mailed our tickets and got to go ahead before others due to skipping the line. I would definitely use them again!

We had a lot of fun and the wait wasn’t long! However, there are not two separate lines for “Skip the Line” and General Admission. We just had to wait until 5 minutes before the time we signed up for and then get in the line that corresponded to that time!
