About this activity
Skip the lines to the Paris Catacombs on this small group tour and enjoy a 2.5-hour guided tour through more than a kilometer of tunnels beneath the Paris streets. Learn why the labyrinth was built, and shudder at the remains of more than 6 million bodies buried in the haunting underground tombs.
Located 200 steps below Paris' city streets, your visit to the Catacombs will be seamless, and unforgettable. Your guide is an expert, passionate Cataphile, dedicated to sharing their passion about the tombs with you.
Upon arrival, you'll meet your group and your guide, skip the long entry lines, and travel deep under the streets of Paris. Your English-speaking guide will lead you around more than a kilometer of tunnels, and explain their often disturbing history. Learn why the former limestone quarries – mined to build some of the city’s most famous bridges and buildings – came to be used as the final resting place for so many Parisians.
Your guide will tell you how millions of bodies were exhumed from the city’s overcrowded cemeteries by the late 1700s, and stacked one on top of the other in the chambers of the Catacombs. Marvel at walls lined with human bones, many arranged in almost artistic compositions.
Best of all, your group will never be more than 10 guests, ensuring a personalized touring experience, leaving plenty of time for questions and photos.

The skip the line tour was amazing. With just 4 of us on the tour we were able to ask many questions and linger as long as we wanted. The “regular” line was a 6 hour wait. So this was definitely the perfect options.
