Ultimate Underground Tour. - We are Dave and Kim from the UK, and we booked the Ultimate Underground Tour before arriving in Rome. From start to finish the whole booking and starting the tour was faultless. Justin our tour guide contacted us the night before the tour to confirm meeting location and start time, and when we arrived he text us to let us know where he was. The tour itself was fantastic and took us back in time hundreds of years. Justin’s expert knowledge and enthusiasm was evident throughout the whole tour, which brought the who experience to life. We would both highly recommend the tour as having Justin as a guide is so much better than trying to glean the information on all the underground buildings and artefact’s for yourself. Thank you again Justin, and good luck in the future. Kind regards Dave and Kim.

Fascinating tour with outstandingly knowledgeable guide - Our guide Justin designed and conducted an excellent tour, which I can recommend one hundred percent. It was extremely fascinating to wander into the underground world of Rome and walk on quieter and less touristy paths. Justin's passion for Roman history also makes him the perfect companion on this trail.

A dive into history - I definitely recomand this tour. Justin narates the history of Rome by explaining to you archeological treasures that lies a short walking distance from the coloseum, and yet away from the crowd. He gives a good insight on peoples lives and believes through de centuries.

A surprise underground - The underground tour I did with Justin was fantastic. I didn't know that these underground treasures existed in the centre. I had only heard about the catacombs before. He was really friendly and I hope to explore the underground in Rome more when I visit Rome the next time.
