The tour guide makes the difference! - Tour guide (Georgian) did an excellent job providing his knowledge of the area! Made the trip worth it for sure!

George is the best Guide!! - We cannot say enough about our guide George, he went above and beyond showing us beautiful places one would not normally see. Disappointed by the Catacombs they were just okay. Group way too big and very hard to understand when your English speaker doesn’t speak English very well. George took us to view other sites that you would normally not see. The first road which was amazing, an overview of the city, to a beautiful churches and through neighborhoods one would not see. The final was a church that was so breathtaking, detailed in marble, Gold and huge. Was able to see the door that was only ever been open for the Pope, needless to say that it was one of the most detailed and beautiful churches we have ever seen and it was so humbling. We cannot say enough good things about George and his knowledge and we will inform everyone we know that’s to visit to contact him if they truly want history. Thank you again George!

Awesome tour - Had a great half day with Constantine. A very informative tour in a beautiful black Mercedes. Catacombs were so interesting. Constantine was so knowledgeable about all of Rome and had some great insights.

A must do - Patrick is a great guide we had a wonderful experience in the catacombs and along the Appian way. The catacombs are amazing and even though extensively restored, are well worth visiting especially with a guide as knowledgeable as Patrick

Awesome tour! October 2023 - Our guide Patrick made our tour fun and informational. He stopped several times to take pictures. He even made a couple extra stops along our tour and gave us an interesting narrative on ancient Rome. Great tour!

Get away from the crowd on the Appian Way - We had a wonderful time with Patrick visiting the Catacombs of Callixto, the Appian Way, and a few other nearby sites. It was great to get off the beaten path to see some parts of Roman history that don't make it onto the city center tour itinerary and were not overwhelmed with tourists.

Totally misleading. - Over $700 euros for a party of five for a group tour that actually costs 10 euros according to the entrance ticket. It’s advertised as private tour but is just a private transfer which would not set you back $700 in a Uber. Save money take an Uber and do the group tour
