Excellent
The tour was definitely interesting and it was really cool getting access to some of the restricted areas of the catacombs. However, compared to the standard ticket price, I personally don’t think the extra cost is really justified. That being said, our guide Georgia (from the UK) was absolutely fantastic and easily the highlight of the experience. She was incredibly friendly, approachable, and clearly very passionate about the history of the catacombs. She took plenty of time to explain everything thoroughly, answer questions, and point out fascinating little details and unique aspects that we otherwise would have missed. So while I think the premium tour itself is probably overpriced for what extra you get, Georgia genuinely made the experience much better and deserves a lot of praise.

Very good tour but you are standing a lot. Also, no reflection on the guide, but Viator should provide MORE SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS about meeting the guide. They are written as if you are going to an “office” to redeem tickets when you are not. You at Re meeting the guide holding a green sign. So JUST say that. Several of us were panicking because we didn’t know where to go or what to do.

FAQs about the Paris Catacombs

Are the Catacombs accessible for people with mobility issues?
Unfortunately, the Paris Catacombs do not have elevator access and require you to descend 130 steps. As such, the Catacombs are not wheelchair accessible or for those with significant mobility issues.
I suffer from claustrophobia. Could I still visit the Catacombs?
Due to the tight nature of the catacombs, the catacombs are not advised for those with claustrophobia. Those with heart problems or other relevant medical conditions should take this into consideration before booking this tour.
