6 tours · €139–€209 per person · ★ 4.8
Catacombs tours here are picked by hand: 6 guided descents from operators rated 4.5★ or higher, with 3,005 traveler reviews between them. Six million Parisians rest in the tunnels below the boulevards, and the standard ticket shows you a corridor of them; these tours exist for the doors it never opens. Every route on this page carries some form of special access, from restricted galleries the public queue walks past to a semi-private format capped at six people, rated 4.96.
The catacombs are a constant 14 degrees, the ceilings run low and the stairs are real, so bring a layer and steady shoes. Skip-the-line entry is included throughout, which matters at an attraction where the surface queue can eat two hours. From €139, and worth every underground cent.
