Best Guide in Town for Catacombs! - Our guides were excellent! Not only was she knowledgeable about our tour , Cappuccine and the Catacombs, but she taught us the best dishes to have while we were in Rome. Along with many other useful information! She was awesome!’

Incredible tour. Amazing art - If I could give this 10 stars I would. The guide, Davide, was absolutely incredible and I learned (retained) more in my time with him on the tour in a fun and interesting way l than did in 12 years of Catholic schooling and 2 years of Roman history. I felt bad my mum kept texting and asking where I was so I had to run off before being able to give him a tip. Please tip him extra for me! He was phenomenal and a great guide. The Domitalla Catacombs were quite interesting and the guide, Miram, was very nice and informative. It was raining when I went, so it was a little cold and damp. Keep that in mind, as well as it's narrow and dark with stairs (not great if you're claustrophobic lol). Seeing the tombs and learning about the history was amazing. Speaking of anazing... The last stop at the Capuchin Friars bone art... WOW!!!! The bones are absolutely stunning. I highly, HUGHLY recommend this tour. Fingers crossed you get Davide. If I could've hired him for my time in Florence and Venice, I would have

Excellent day - This was fun and very informative. Very much liked the crypt of the monks. Was a little creepy but great fun. The catacombs were fantastic great guide and to be 9 meters down underground in those tunnels was great. Our two tour guides on the bus did a great job full of information about history and also local tips and areas to visit. We had a great day. Be warned the streets are tight for a big bus I dont know how they drive like that. :)

Rushed and expensive - Tour guide was nice but tour was very rushed for the cost. The tour was an excellent combination but the staff at the catacombs were rude and the entire tour was very rushed. Would have loved to spend more time learning about the history and exploring.

Strange, Fascinating, Odd, and Yes, a Little Bit Creepy. - Our guide, a young man who is an high school art teacher for his "day job," was engaging, informative, and fun. The Capuchin crypts were so impressive in their strangeness. Unique, certainly. Grotesque, probably. So very fascinating. Walking from the crypts ot meet the bus for the catacombs tour, we fell behind and were unable to continue. We didn't know it owed be such a long walk to get to the bus, and that it would be all uphill. It owed have bene helpful to know such fact in advance.

Only OK - The guide was not the best. He rambled and did not have a coherent story to tell. The sites themselves were interesting but lacked the important context that I would have expected from the guide.
