5.0Remy did an excellent job with this private tour. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I’m claustrophobic and didnt really have any issues. We were down there for about 2 hours and you’ll probably walk out with a new perspective on things. Totally worth the visit.
No bones about it...a fun tour.

5.0Leonora was great. Attentive, knowledgeable, and fun. She speaks much better English than she gives herself credit for and was happy to go into greater factual depth if someone had further questions. As long as a couple of 100 steps up-and-down won't bother you.The tour is great.
Fun Day in the Catacombs of Paris

5.0This tour is a must! The experience was truly amazing! David was the best tour guide. He was extremely personable and made the experience memorable. His vast knowledge along with access to all the locked areas was very intriguing.
