The guide was great, but I paid for a private tour of a group no larger then 6, we had 14 in our group.

I am sure the tour would have been great however the traffic getting to meeting spot was horrible and we missed the tour by 5 minutes. I texted the tour guide to let them know we were on our way, but traffic was holding us up but received no response. I spent $428 on this tour and despite leaving 40 minutes in advance to get there early enough, they counted me as a no show. I was there, o Lu 5 minutes late. No refund, or replacement tour. Disappointed, we were really really looking forward to it.

We really enjoyed the catacombs tour with tour guide Leo. She added depth to the experience that we would've missed if we had only done the audio tour. The experience was amazing because Leo shared more things about and relating to the catacombs that we wouldn't have learned or saw if we didn't have her as our tour guide. Leo's passion for the catacombs was wonderful as she pointed out points of interest and shared the history of the site. If you have the opportunity to visit the catacombs it is definitely worth it to schedule your tour with Leo. Your experience will be greatly enriched by reserving her as your tour guide.💯

Leo was a great guide with a lot of knowledge about the Catacombs. She shared the history and her passion for the catacombs and was very respectful to those who are resting there.

We could not get in. The man at the door told us we needed a printed ticket and yelled at me in French and proceeded to let everyone else in with their app.
