The value of the audio guide
The audio guide is the ideal compromise between a self-guided and a guided visit. You keep full freedom of movement while enjoying rich commentary on the history of the quarries, the transfer of remains and the symbolism of the site. You pause, rewind and linger wherever you like.
How it works
- Collect your audio guide at the entrance or via an app
- Select your language
- Follow the numbered route at your own pace
- Listen to commentary at each point of interest
Who it's ideal for
The audio-guided visit suits independent travellers, couples and families who want informative content without the constraints of a group. It's also the best value for money to explore the Catacombs in depth.
