Leo was such a phenomenal tour guide. After a small snafu with the meeting point, she took us into the catacombs. She knows so much about the catacombs, describing herself as a cataphile. She knows so many little details about the place! It was very memorable. It was super cool to see parts of the catacombs that regular visitors can't see. I would love to explore the catacombs with Leo! She even gave us recs for a nice place to have a drink after the tour.

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.
