A New Discovery. - Learned so much…. Discovery. Many areas of this I was unaware of. A highlight of our visit to Rome. Definitely worth the visit.

Perfect Christian Journey step - The information from the catacomb guide was a ton. Loved it. Our guide for the overall experience was great. She had a great character. You could tell she just loved people.

Mamertine prison and st Callixtus catacombs - We were a group of 23 and we all absolutely loved the tour of the Mamertine prison and st Callixtus catacombs. Everyone was very impressed and we had different guides for every part of the tour which was very thoughtful and we loved the transportation. Personally I also really appreciated Zeynab who was out tour facilitator and helped us stay on track throughout the tour and kindly checked on everyone in the group so it all felt very organized because of her coordinating. Many thanks from Workerbee tours 💛

Historical Christian Sites During Well Guided Visits - Being in a group of 6 made all the difference. It was a congenial group. Our guide, Lena, was very nice and thoughtful as was our driver. Merton Prison is a place I have had on my list nearly my whole life. The catacombs tour was well done also. I was disappointed that no photos were allowed. I believe that Mamertine Prison is as sacred or more so than the catacombs and yet we were allowed to take photos.

Wonderful experience. - Loved seeing this. Amazing to be where Paul & Peter were held. Our guide who helped us was amazing. We had a wonderful experience.

Worthwhile Time Spent - Inside the Mamertine Prison was moving, because I already knew something of its history(and certainly the history of Saints Peter and Paul here). So it was a meaningful time, being in that enclosure and imagining the actual drama that unfolded there. At the same time, how much better to have had an articulate, standard-pronunciation guide to narrate what we were seeing, in comprehensible, passionate English (ours retained a heavy accent and seemed reticent about filling in details). Compared to this Mamertine employee, our overall guide was always communicative, insightful, personable. Accompanying us to the San Sebastiano catacombs, she patiently answered my questions and communicated details we needed to know of the history that unfolded here. A postscript: it was difficult to actually find the initial place relying, as we unfortunately did, on Google Maps. Street construction happens. Should you go, don't be shy about asking directions, with the actual meetup address in hand.

More please - Please advise customers to download the audio app on WiFi before arriving at Mamertine. The catacomb tour was interesting but our guide was rushed due to a large number of tour groups present. As a result, we did not learn as much about the catacombs as we had hoped.

Disorganized - The directions to find our tour guide just says look for someone in a blue shirt. It would have been helpful to tell us the name of the tour company or to hold up a sign that said “Mamertine prison” as we walked up and down the crowded street looking at everyone wearing a blue shirt. When we finally found her, we were not on her list even though we booked several weeks ago. Then she spent the next ten minutes or so trying to confirm we were supposed to be with her while at the same time trying to get us to download the POP guide app. She had special access codes for the app that didn’t initially work for anyone in the group. We walked to Mamertine prison which was a short walk away and had to wait another 10 to 15 minutes before everyone was able to log into the app to start our self guided tour. Someone commented that it would have been nice if we were told about the app beforehand and the tour guide said the instructions were provided when we signed up. Some people did not have strong enough internet connection to download the app so she had to set up a WiFi connection through her phone. It would have saved a lot of time if we got an email reminding us to download the app before the tour started (although I’m not sure if we would have gotten an email since we were not on her list). We did multiple tours during this trip to Rome and then on our cruise ship. The other tour organizers emailed or texted us before the tour and reminded us where we would meet and held a sign at the meeting location. The prison was a very moving experience since we are Christians. She had to arrange a second van for our group to take us to the Catacombs since we were not on her list. Also another couple who booked the same day were not on her list. So everyone could not fit in one van. The catacombs tour was great. The tour guide was provided by the catacombs. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Overall, we feel like this tour was something we could have done on our own. The Mamertine prison is self guided and the Catacombs had their own tour guide. So we basically paid for transportation from Mamertine prison to the catacombs. On the plus side, we met some nice people in our group. I dislike writing bad reviews so I am giving this 3 stars to not be mean.

Not worth the entrance fee - Overpriced for what is there I was very disappointed as the reviews I saw lead me to believe it was something pretty special. Took less than 30 mins to do the whole place and at 10 Euro definitely not worth it at all.

The Terrible Tour - None of it was memorable. Could not locate the tour guide at the designated spot. The local booking company never responded to my texts. I want my money back. 🤨 Do not book this tour.
