Administrationen var fremragende. Guiden var fremragende - ekstremt velinformeret, tog sig tid til at spørge ind til os og besvarede dem alle. Han var en ægte entusiast med gode præsentations- og formidlingsevner. Var meget informativ og engagerende på samme tid.

Vi havde halvt så meget tid som nødvendigt til at lytte til lyden i krypten. Løb igennem og hørte en brøkdel af lyden. Det største problem, som vi ikke var opmærksomme på, var, at man IKKE bliver bragt tilbage til det oprindelige startsted. Man bliver sat af et sted, der koster mere end 25 dollars i taxa.

The experience was excellent! The organization was great, everything was thought of. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, which made the tour extremely enjoyable. I was especially lucky to get Semih as the guide! He was very engaging, attentive and funny. He also shared a link to his list of restaurant recommendations, which was an awesome bonus! Definitely will book more tours!

Great staff. Great tour for the catacombs only. I booked multiple with this site. Just don't book the colosseum and Roman hills. They never showed up to the tour and no tickets are there to request refund. It's like I didn't pay $169 for the tour of all three events. Vatican was also a nightmare to get tickets finally got them. Head out tour so far is not a reliable ticket source. We spent another $120 to tour. I got no ticket no entry and paid $169. No refund just out my money.

Your experience

The bone chapels

Your first stop is the Museum & Crypt of the Capuchin Friars, housing Caravaggio’s painting of St. Francis and many artifacts from the order's history of creating altruistic projects around the world. Lined along the rear end of the museum are the Capuchin Crypts: resting places of 4000 Capuchin Friars, whose skeletal remains were artistically arranged in the European tradition of memento mori, a simple reminder that all must die.

The sacred Christian catacombs

On a private AC bus, you'll travel along the ancient Appian Way to the extensive catacombs, dug into the ground some 2000 years ago. Follow your historian guide through the network of sacred tunnels associated with the first Christians in ancient Rome. Descend into the labyrinthian corridors carved into the soft volcanic rock as you discover intriguing iconography, fascinating frescoes, and breathtaking burial grounds. You will either visit the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, St. Sebastian, or Domitilla!

Basilica of San Nicola in Carcere

Below the altar of the church, lies the ancient Forum Holitorium. Nestled along the Tiber, this historic market once bustled with commercial and religious activities. Wander its streets, tracing the path of triumphal parades, and explore the awe-inspiring temples of Janus and Juno Sospita. Admire the resilience of ancient columns and stunning frescoes standing tall through fire and flood.
