Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Verken de verborgen wereld onder de straten van Parijs tijdens deze VIP-tour met kleine groepen door de catacomben. Volg je gids meer dan 20 meter onder straatniveau, in de schimmige en fascinerende wereld die onzichtbaar is voor de lokale bevolking en bezoekers die over de boulevards erboven slenteren. Je gids leidt je langs eindeloze tunnels die zijn gestapeld met nette rijen van miljoenen botten, en ontgrendelt poorten die gesloten zijn voor het grote publiek en neemt je mee naar obscure kamers vol verrassingen. Deze semi-privé VIP-tour zorgt ervoor dat je het meeste uit dit uitzonderlijke bezoek haalt, zodat je de rijen kunt omzeilen en meer tijd kunt besteden aan het genieten van deze unieke en kwetsbare site. Leer de intrigerende verhalen van degenen die hier door de eeuwen heen hebben gewerkt, bezocht en te ruste zijn gelegd, waaronder sommigen die zich waagden en er nooit meer uitkwamen. Luister naar verhalen over geheime genootschappen die vandaag de dag nog steeds worden bezocht. Verleden en heden Parijs en zijn inwoners komen tot leven terwijl je de sombere ingewanden van de stad verkent die verborgen zijn onder het oppervlak.

Excellent experience at the Catacombs of Paris. We did a semi private tour and got access to areas that not everyone gets to see. Our tour guide was awesome and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Thank you, Aldo! We're so glad this small-group tour lived up to the experience. Access to areas most visitors never get to see is exactly what makes the Catacombs tour so special. We'll be sure to pass this along to the team. We really appreciate the recommendation!
Tristan is an incredible tour guide. Knowledgable and so funny. What a great experience. The secret chapel area was amazing.
Thank you Rita! Tristan really does make the Catacombs come alive — knowledgeable and funny is a rare and wonderful combination down there! And the locked rooms are something really special, we're so glad you enjoyed them. We'll share your kind words with him, he'll be so pleased to read them, as are we!
Me and my partner booked the restricted access tour and we were lucky enough to have Tristan as our guide. He made lots of fun jokes making our time with him fun and memorable. He was super informative and being from Australia he connected things to us ensuring we understood. The tour explained things that weren't explained throughout the information boards which made it extra interesting. We had so much fun and learnt so many fun facts along the way. It’s definitely worth the extra money and having access to the restricted areas where so fun. Overall it was such a memorable experience which felt so surreal. I’d highly recommend to book this tour if you’re interested in actually learning about the system and the history of the catacombs and want a fun memorable night. Definitely one of out top experiences we have done in Paris. 100/100
Thank you Chloe — what a wonderful review! Tristan has a real gift for making the Catacombs both fascinating and genuinely fun, and we love that he made the history feel so personal and relevant for you both. Those restricted areas really are something else — places that tell stories the information boards simply can't. That it was one of your top Paris experiences means so much to us. He'll be so touched to read this!
Fantastic look into the history of the Parisian people and what they did to look after the dead, this place has been revamped and sells out very very fast, we struggled to get tickets but managed to get them for 6.15pm, no queue, lovely helpful staff, and audio comes with your ticket, you are quite far under ground and it is quite strange walking amongst all the bones which are stacked neatly but it’s an experience not to miss, and it’s just over the road from the metro and cost us €31 each.
We loved our small group guided tour of the Catacombs with Jonnie. It had been on my Bucket List for decades, and I am so glad we opted for this special experience of being in a group of only 7 people being guided around by a fabulous and friendly expert. It was a massive treat, also, to access the restricted areas of the Catacombs that other visitors don't get to enter. We felt looked after by Jonnie, and enjoyed his company very much. He is a lovely and engaging people-person, and was very happy to answer everyone's questions without any rushing, and was always offering to take photos for everyone. So glad we had this mega-upgrade on the standard experience, which in itself sounds like a bit of headache to get tickets for through the Catacombs' own ticketing system available only a few days ahead of the date you wish to visit. I would've felt I'd missed out by not experiencing the restricted areas, and would've returned home from Paris feeling that I hadn't done the Catacombs probably. Totally satisfied, now we're home, that we really did.
Jonny is right now leading the Memories family in our happy dance, so thrilled are we to read your amazing recommendation. We loved showing you the Catacombs as an "insider" and to know that it's long been a bucket list item only adds to our pleasure. Jonny is indeed a gem of a guide who knows the Catacombs like the back of his hand and comes alive at sharing that with a chosen few. Reserving with Memories is knowing that you've got an expert like him leading your expedition into Paris "from below." Thanks so much for this magnificent review, Odysseus (if I may).
Had a great visit to the Catacombs of Paris. Our tour guide, Anthony, was well-versed, fun and informative. It was an interesting visit while in Paris, and I would recommend.
Hi Kurtis, beyond its thrills and chils, the Catacombs is an way to understand Paris in a way like no other -- that is, if you've got a guide like Anthony who knows it all like the back of his hand. We love sharing that perspective on the shadows of the City of Light form below and were so glad you could join us!
Very informative and crazy to witness.
Thank you, Leanna, for the stellar recommendation. The Catacombs are indeed fantastically interesting, and when you have a Memories guide there to give you context and backstory you have a new understanding of Paris that could not be gained in any other way. We were so happy to offer that opportunity and delighted that you joined us!
Guide was fabulous but there was absolutely nothing VIP or Private access to this tour. We walked the same route as everyone getting a ticket at the door, so for the price I would skip it and just grab some audio tour headphones and enjoy the walk.
We are so sorry to hear of your disappointment. The Catacombs opened the morning of your visit after six months of closing for renovations and it was only at that precise moment that the heads of the Catacombs contacted us to let us know that the parts with only private access must remain closed a little longer. We had no advance warning at all ourselves, which we profoundly regret. From 21 April 2026 all should be open as normal. We will soon be in touch about a partial refund.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this tour. The tour was very respectful that this is a "cemetery". Our guide J Junohn was great! He was very knowledgeable on the history of the catacombs. If you go I highly recommend paying the extra for the VIP extra rooms. It was all around a great experience.
We love to surprise you with just how good a guided experience can be, far beyond the rote reading of guide-book explanations. A Memories guide, guides just like John, are hand selected for their excellence. And the Catacombs, we know and appreciate, are far more than just thrills and chills, but the final resting place of forbears. We do love taking you all through its spinetingling mysteries and histories but never lose sight of the fact that this is indeed a cemetery. Thanks so much for coming along with us!
Our tour guide Remy was amazing. I learned so much about the catacombs and really loved the entire experience. Definitely recommend!
Hi Tiffany - Bones are fascinating when you have a world-class interpreter there right with you to translate all the stories they have to tell! Memories guides have this gift and more and are delighted to share it with you. Thaks so much for this outstanding recommendation that we are so proud to have earned!
