The Paris Catacombs opens an incredibly limited amount of tickets per day, making it one of the most competitive attractions to visit in Paris. Our VIP skip-the-line tour grants you direct access to this underground world, plus entry to secret rooms closed to the general public. With an expert guide sharing dark history and eerie legends, you’ll explore Paris’s most unique attraction up close—without the usual wait or ticket stress.
You'll meet your guide and the rest of your small group near the Denfert-Rochereau Metro Station, just a short walk from the entrance to the Catacombs. The general admission line can be incredibly long, especially during busy times, but you'll be able to breeze past and start exploring straight away with your skip-the-line ticket.
Your guide is an expert in all things Catacombs, and over the next 1.5 hours you'll learn about the dark history of this unique underground tunnel network. Yo...

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. Also, the only bathroom break is at the end so please show up prepared and ready to tour!

Best Tour Ever!

This was an unexpected tour for us to jump on but it was one of my FAVORITES. Saeed, our tour guide, was amazingly knowledgeable, told incredible stories, and really brought the catacombs to life. (Wink*wink) The wonderful balance of important and interesting facts as well as humor really helped me to enjoy this tour as I am not the most comfortable with death nor underground spaces. I would HIGHLY recommend taking this tour and learning more about what’s underneath Paris!
Great tour guide!!

Our descend into Paris' catacombs, where bones whisper tales of the past, was impressive. We Explored dimly lit tunnels adorned with macabre arrangements, a haunting testament to the city's history. A visit here is a journey through time, a solemn yet mesmerizing experience.

So… we were late. Due to a miscalculation we missed our metro and were about 5 min late. We ran to the catacombs and the catacomb staff was so helpful in getting us to our tour. They hadn’t started yet so we didn’t miss anything, but Remy, our tour guide, was so kind and friendly we felt like we were a part of the group right away. This tour was EXTENSIVE. I came into the tour knowing nothing about the catacombs and I left wanting more! Remy was extremely knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, friendly, and loved the questions coming from the group! He showed us behind the scenes locations and videos/photos that gave even more detail than was necessary. Truly an above and beyond experience I would recommend to anyone going to Paris! Warning that there is a lot of walking, tight spaces, and uneven terrain for those who may not be able.
