The tour of the catacombs...

Published on Dec, 2024

The tour of the catacombs was very interesting, we ended up having a private tour so the experience was very interactive with the guide as well. Mario the guide was very nice and funny and we enjoyed a lot.

Perfect way to see the catacombs in Rome, wonderful tour guide with in-depth knowledge

Published on Dec, 2024

This was a great tour option to see the catacombs, without committing to a half day excursion. The meeting spot and check in procedures were seamless and easy to understand, and the tour guide was fantastic - gave in-depth historical information while keeping the tour engaging and interesting for our 11 year old son as well. You spend one hour in the catacombs of St Domatilla, and get a good understanding of the scale and scope of the catacombs, who used them, their purpose and historical significances. I'm so glad this was the tour we chose, it was perfect for our family, which included a 12 year old, myself and my husband, and his parents, in their late 70s.

Best tour I have ever done...Great guide...Thank you!
