Visit: The Paris Catacombs, 1 Avenue du Colonel Henri Rol-Tanguy, 75014 Paris France
The Catacombs refer to an underground burial site, typically containing a large collection of human bones and skulls. These subterranean spaces are often created for practical reasons, such as relieving overcrowded cemeteries or utilizing existing underground structures like quarries. The term is commonly associated with the Catacombs of Paris, which became a renowned ossuary in the late 18th century, housing the remains of millions of people. Catacombs can vary widely in size, purpose, and historical context, but they generally share the common feature of being repositories for human skeletal remains. Visitors to catacombs often experience a mix of historical fascination and contemplation of mortality.

Amazing experience. Easy to follow booking instructions as long as you read confirmation emails to print the QRcode as they must scan it, not just confirmation number.

Staff was rude and obnoxious. Thought didn’t understand French so yelled at for a while before changing language and not quite saying the same thing. Either way, accused of something did not do. Did not experience this anywhere else, but this is reason for reputation.
Of course must be respectful and to be accused of not was insulting. Horrible given this is what would be called unique and a must see. Did not ruin experience but tainted it. The fact that it’s first thing remember about it and not the catacombs says everything

I was mesmerized by the catacombs. I had no idea this existed! I am so happy I learned about it and got to go in them.

The workers here were absolutely terrible!!!! They kept asking for a different ticket (other than the one that scans) then when I tried to show them they ignored me and just left me standing in the cold. They asked which tour I Was there for I answered them and they said we don’t know what that is when I tried to show them they ignored me again when I finally got to speak to someone else they were also rude. They then told me if I didn’t know what I was doing I could buy another ticket all this because the guy couldn’t scan my ticket. When I asked if he could try a different scanner he ignored me again. Finally my husband asked different person could he please try scanning with his scanner and what do you know it worked right away. Overall awful experience!!!

The actual catacombs themselves was a great experience as was the River cruise. My issue was with the instructions and ability to get the tickets. I have used Viator for many tours but this one I had problems getting the tickets. The email and the app kept me a circle back and forth and I couldn’t get them. The gentleman inside the catacombs finally helped us get into support where the tickets were hidden in the app. I have never seen that before. Additionally not much help with exactly where to go at the Port. Not even a dock number. This one needs a little work to be more user friendly.

The Catacombs itself was wonderful (hence the 2 stars).
Viator messed up the tickets, almost didnt get in.
Trying to communicate thru the app was a DISASTER.
An embarrassment .
People on phone were helpful; they seem versed in having to rectify these embarrasments.

A truly unique experience with more history behind it than I realized. My wife and I were amazed by the ossuary and how it was made. The audio assistant was easy to use and very helpful. It’s a quick tour so it won’t take much out of a busy day but it’s well worth the visit.
