Great tour, highly recommend - Easy meeting point, and very informative tour! The host Annamarie was amazing - very informative and very engaging. The crypt and catacombs were very interesting. A local guide takes you through the catacombs (which were slightly out of the city) and she was also great. Highly recommend. We also had a small tour group which made the experience more authentic and engaging, with the hosts happy to answer questions and give us tips, tricks and recommendations as well!
