Vores guide var personlig, velinformeret og kortfattet. Katakomberne var overvældende, så utroligt store og skræmmende og inspirerende, at bare det at få et glimt af det stykke, jeg så, var et minde, jeg vil bære med mig i lang tid.

Det var den bedste guide i verden skrevet af Abel, og vi tog til Colosseum, og jeg elskede det. Vi, Abels forældre, var meget glade for hans forklaring og sympati.

Die Führung begann ca. 10 Min. später. D.h. wir waren dann ca. 30 insgesamt zu früh da und haben uns ziemlich abgesetzt. Es war sehr sehr voll. Wir konnten bzw. mussten leider die Erläuterungen der vorangehenden und nachfolgenden Gruppe (verschiedene Sprachen) mit anhören. Nach rund 40-45 Minuten vor Ort waren wir schon fertig.

Guide tres interessant sur le plan historique, mais il a fait des remarques très lourdes sur les memebres du groupe (sur le physique de mon petit fils par exemple) qui ne sont pas passées. Il a passé plus de temps à faire des remarques ou des blagues (lourdes) qu'à parler de l'histoire de ce lieu. Je regrette d'avoir choisi cette activité sur Rome

Dating back to the 2nd century, the catacombs consist of galleries used by the Romans to bury their dead. These ancient cemeteries carry a unique history that you can dive into in your preferred language.

As you walk around, find fascinating art like frescoes, inscriptions, and sarcophagi.
