Itinerary

Experience two of the most popular and unforgettable tours in Paris with skip-the-line priority access and an engaging audio guide to lead your way. Begin your journey deep beneath the lively streets of Paris at the Catacombs, a haunting yet fascinating underground ossuary that dates back to 1788. Originally created to solve the problem of overcrowded cemeteries, the Catacombs house the remains of over six million Parisians. As you descend 130 narrow steps and 65 feet underground into the old Tombe-Issoire limestone quarries, a chilling inscription welcomes you: Arrête, c’est ici l’empire de la mort—"Stop, here lies the Empire of Death."
When you enter, walk through a tunnel that is about a mile long. The walls are covered with bones and skulls arranged in artistic yet serious patterns. Along the way, you will see writings, religious verses, and poems on the walls. These words provide insights into the thoughts of people from the past. The tour takes about 45 minutes and ends with a climb up 83 steps that brings you back to the surface, leaving you changed by the powerful history you have experienced.
After coming up from the Catacombs, enjoy a relaxing cruise on the River Seine. Go to the Port de la Conférence, located between the Pont de l'Alma and the Invalides, where you will get on a glass-covered Bateaux Mouches boat. This one-hour cruise gives you panoramic views of Paris’s famous landmarks. You will hear recorded comments about the history and stories of each place you see. On the cruise, you will pass the Eiffel Tower, the Assemblée Nationale, the golden-domed Invalides, and the Musée d'Orsay. You will also see the Institut de France, the Cité de la Mode, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the historic Conciergerie on Île de la Cité. The journey includes views of the renowned Louvre Museum, the Place de la Concorde with its ancient Egyptian obelisk, the Grand Palais, and the Trocadéro. Whether you go during the day or at night when the lights shine, this peaceful ride along the Seine shows you the heart of Paris from a beautiful perspective.
Together, these two best-selling Paris experiences offer a striking contrast—one deep within the silent, sacred tunnels below the city, and the other flowing gently on the open river, surrounded by the brilliance of Paris’s architectural wonders. This itinerary captures the soul of Paris in a single day—mysterious, beautiful, and unforgettable.
