Interesting part of history. Something that makes you think. Advice for those buying from Paris business and travel. make sure you have the WhatsApp app on your phone. Much easier to download the tickets. I tried using wallet, and it was unsuccessful. Their customer service was great.

Some reviews mentioned not receiving their ticket. I didn’t get an email or a WhatsApp containing the ticket (as mentioned in the description), but if you click on “meeting and pickup details” and then click “contact tour operator” you will find your ticket there

What an amazing experience. Viator makes everything simple, just book and they send your tickets via whatsapp or email and you jusy show up. The Catacombs is a must do in Paris.

It was a great experience , Although very small and very poorly lit , It was hard to see and I wish it was much bigger. I wouldn’t go again The history was great though

Had no idea of the volume of remains at rest below the streets of Paris. An experience I will never forget. Well worth the price of admission.

Catacombs were interesting but years ago I went with a guide and it was so much more informative and fun. This tour, the guide just walked us to the entrance and then left. Very disappointing.

Great experience for history buffs, adventure seekers alike. Tons of stairs down and up so be prepared to get your steps in. Good audio tour included. Wonderful architecture from centuries ago seen to stabilize the underground structures.

This excursion does not send out the tickets until the day before but if you are traveling and don't have access to a printer then it might not work for you. We tried to digitally use the ticket and the Catacombs said they don't work. It was a huge mess that took about 30 minutes to figure out. I'm not sure who is at fault here Viator Catacombs or a middle man. The Catacombs were pretty cool. The boat tour was ok, hard to really see much with the walls so high up.

I learnt a lot about the history of the catacombs and Paris itself. The tour to the catacombs is surreal and educational and to be surrounded by history itself and the countless people who now are a permanent part of the catacombs.
