A one-of-a-kind experience
This was an unusual tour, and the whole experience was one-of-a-kind. Seeing all those bones was overwhelming - it makes you think! The audio guide helped put everything in context. It was very interesting and educational. I would recommend this ticket to anyone interested in the history of Paris.
A unique underground adventure
I visited with my boyfriend a few months ago. We traveled from London, so we reserved the tickets online. Fast ticketing, entered without delay. No issues. Being underground was an incredible experience. After seeing Paris in daylight, being inside felt surreal. Walking was easy, there were a few steps up and down, but it was not a problem. The audio guide was useful. Definitely recommend.
