Traveler reviews
Sonja Hardenbrook
★★★★★2 years agoOur teenagers both agreed this was their favorite adventure in Paris - even better than summiting the Eiffel Tower and exploring the Louvre. Highly recommend.
Becky H
★★★★★a year agoGreat experience seeing the crypt. Tours are in French only (which we knew before booking) - the gentleman that gave the tour was very friendly and we enjoyed even without understanding. Good value!
