The official price
The City of Paris sells timed entry with the audio guide for €31 at full price and €25 at the reduced rate. Reduced and child rates have their own conditions, and press sources disagree on the child prices, so check the categories on the official site before you book. Tickets are sold online only and released seven days ahead; there is no ticket desk for standard tickets at the entrance.
Reseller entry tickets
Resellers sell the same timed entry with the audio guide for about $43, roughly $8 more than the official price. You pay the difference for availability further ahead than the official seven-day window. The most reviewed reseller ticket has 12,432 reviews averaging 4.65, and it is non-refundable.
Guided tours and restricted access
Guided tours include the entry ticket, a live guide and areas closed to regular visitors. The special access tour costs $156 for a group of up to 14, the restricted access tour $212 for seven or fewer, and the small-group tour $234 for six. All three can be cancelled free up to 24 hours before.
- Special access tour — $156, 2 hours, up to 14 (6 on three departures)
- Restricted access tour — $212, 2 hours, 7 or fewer
- Small-group tour — $234, 90 minutes, 6 people
Combos with a Seine cruise
A Catacombs entry with the audio guide plus a one-hour Seine cruise costs $129 with free cancellation, or from $89 for a non-refundable version where the cruise is optional. The cruise ticket in the $129 combo stays valid for six months.
What is never included
No ticket includes luggage storage, because the Catacombs have no lockers or cloakroom, and none includes transport to Place Denfert-Rochereau. The Paris Museum Pass is not a way in either: the Catacombs run their own timed booking.
