It was amazing! The Chapel was my favourite area, and learning about the history of collapses and development of the catacombs was something I had wanted to do for many years. The engineer who perished while reinforcing a section that collapsed on him, and having special access to see that area preserved in his memory was especially touching. The only criticism that I have is that I felt the lighting was too bright for the ambience of the environment. Thank you very much for a great experience, it exceeded my expectations!
