Leo gave us an amazing tour of The Catacombs Museum in Paris. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the museum and is a captivating storyteller. It is a once in a lifetime experience to be given a catacombs tour by a Cataphile that lives and breathes their passion. Thank you for such a unique and inspiring experience. This is a memory we will cherish.
Thank you so much Lisa and Kelsey for this great time with you and this lovely review! I wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon.
Leo was a very good guide with a lot of information. The catacombs are a must!
Thank you very much! Enjoy your time in Rome.
Leo was most accommodating for us. She was very informative and spoke to our whole family of different ages, engaging us all. Truly appreciate her time.
Thank you Brooks. Engaging kids or teenagers is always a big challenge so I'm very happy to read your review.
She has interesting Stories to tell and you can see parts of the catacombs you wouldn’t see with a normal visit. It was amazing and I would definitely book again. Alexander
Thank you so much Alexander. I'm glad you enjoyed the visit. I would be happy to see you again in the catacombs or for another tour.
