No, it does not. Opening the Catacombs safely is a big undertaking, and we offer this as a specialist tour 2-3 times per year. Check Eventbrite for the next opening day.

Do I have to reserve a place, or can I just turn up?

Reserving a place online guarantees you a place, since this is a small group tour. It is also fine to just turn up on the day and pay the guide cash directly, as long as there are places available.
