A great tour with a combination of wondrful sights and some walking. - This tour was absolutely perfect, as was our guide, Cattia. It was exactly what I was looking for. We first went to the Catacomb of St. Callixtus, where we had a catacomb guide who spoke well-articulated English, which was important because although the tour was in English, there were some people for whom English was not their first language. Then we drove to and learned about the tomb of Cecilla Metella. Following that, we walked along the Appian Way a little while -- I like to walk so this was a selling point. Lastly we parked at an entrance to the Roman Aqueduct park, and walked along a nice path for excellent views. It was a perfect 3 1/2 hours spent. Note: the description does not include the stop at the aqueduct. But it was a great bonus.

Great Trip! - We really loved this trip! We had a wonderful guide who was experienced in archaeology at the Colosseum. She was very nice and had a lot of time for questions. The tour was quite busy, visiting three places (Catacombs of St Callixtus, an ancient Roman tomb and an aqueduct), but we were kept interested all the way and given plenty of time for photos. My only complaint is that I would have liked to have spent a little more time in the catacombs themselves.

Not What Was Advertised - This tour was advertised as a Catacombs Walking Tour that would take us through Catacombe di San Callisto, San Sebastiano, and Circus of Maxentius. We only stopped by the Catacombe di Sebastiano then drove to two other sites, to see Aqua Claudia and Via Appia. Although the aqueduct and Appian Way were cool to see, it's not what we signed up for and I'm curious as to how our admission fees for the other catacombs were spent.
