Lawerence was a great guide giving us awesome unique stories behind the Catacombs. It was worth getting this tour and one of our bucket list items in Paris checked off. The spectacle and magnitude of how they developed and moved 6 million bodies to be housed there is unimaginable.

Lawrence was a great guide - we were able to go in a special section and seen some extra carvings, he had a deep knowledge and passion for the history, and he paced the tour well. It’s about a mile of walking, and the stairs are a little tough on the way back up, but it was absolutely fascinating.
