It was so cool to get to go into the catacombs; truly a must-do experience when in Paris. It was also super easy to use the combo boat ride ticket later in my journey.

Catacombs was great! Did not do the river cruise since it was only half of what was expected.

Really enjoyed the tour. Self paced and easy. A lot more than excepted so for those afraid of tight spaces it is much like a hallway size for the most part. Anyone above 6 foot 1 may have to duck in some areas but not much.
