Missed tour due to transportation issue, but five stars for the tour group - Unfortunately, we were unable to make the tour due to transportation issues with Uber and taxis in Rome. The group did try to contact us but because of Internet access unable to receive messages. I was able to respond back to their email and they responded quickly. I gave the tour five stars because of them. Suggestion for anyone going on this give yourself plenty of time to get to the location. Otherwise you’re going to miss the tour and be out $50!

Bone Crypts - Absolutely the most interesting tour we went on. The walk around Rome with stories not told on normal tours was fun.

Such a cool tour! - Our guide, Leo, is amazing! He has such a friendly personality and so many interesting facts to share! The Crypts are really impressive and the rest of the tour was great. There are so many hidden stories about the main sites in Rome that we would've never realised without this tour. Thank you!

Fun and knowledge with Ivana!! - Ivana was an absolutely amazing guide!! We ended up with a private tour as the weather kept the other attendees away, and she was so kind with her time and knowledge my 10 year old bent her ear for the better part of the tour!! She brought us for the best gelato we had during our two weeks touring around Italy and my son was entertained and continues to tell the stories Ivana shared with us. We define recommend this tour, and we wholeheartedly recommend spending it with Ivana!! 😊

Unique Experience of the Darker Side of Rome - This tour was a highlight of my time spent in Rome. Our guide Ben was exceptional, from the timely meetup through the entirety of the tour making sure all of our questions were answered and that we stayed informed and hydrated. It's clear that he's passionate about the history and deeply knowledgable about each site we visited as evidenced with his fantastic story telling, this tour is a must. I really appreciated the lesser-known significance behind some of these famous sites in Rome.

It was misleading - Learning the history of Capuchin’s was interesting. Not what I expected when seeing the word catacombs in the description of the tour. The history of the other events could have been more descriptive.
