Full description

The Catacombs are far more interesting with someone to explain what you’re looking at. On this tour, a live guide leads a small group through the tunnels, telling the story of the quarries, the great transfer of bones from Paris cemeteries, and the people who have used these passages since.

Your entry is arranged ahead, and the smaller group size makes it easier to hear and ask questions in the narrow galleries.
