We had half the time needed to listen to the audio in the Crypt. Ran through & heard a fraction of audio. The main issue that we were not aware of was you are NOT brought back to the original starting location. You are dropped off at a location that is a $25+ cab ride.

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.

Really enjoyed our day out exploring the Crypts and Catacombes. The guides were very knowledgeable. However, this was not a small group tour as advertised. We were in smaller groups at the start of the tour for the Capuchin Crypts but then one of the three guides left us and each group size was well over 20 people for the remainder of the day. Our guides tried very hard to make sure we could see everything/hear them but practically there were far too many in each group for exploring the confined spaces of the catacombs and San Nicola. The end point of the tour was also advertised as Piazza Barberini but there was no option to get the coach back there and we were left some significant distance away at San Nicola on a exceptionally hot day, with metro lines closed. It would have been helpful to have been warned of this in advance because we had to change our evening plans as a result.

Our guide, Peter (maybe Pete, we not 100% sure), was the highlight of our tour. He is a very informative and entertaining guide. Made the tour 10x more fun.

The guides were both very nice and very professional. I liked all three attractions: Catacombs of St. Domitilla Flavia, Church of San Niccola in Carcere (ex temples of Juno, Spes and Janus) and the Crypts of the Cappuccin friars. The tempo was appropriate and the bus transport comfortable with good air conditioning. No problems with tickets or finding the guides.

We recently took a fantastic tour that left us thoroughly impressed and eager to recommend it to others. Francesca, our guide, was nothing short of amazing. Her extensive knowledge and charming demeanor made the experience both enlightening and enjoyable. One of the highlights was exploring the bones and catacombs. Francesca's detailed explanations brought history to life, making the visit truly fascinating. The catacombs, kept at a cool 58 degrees, provided a refreshing break from the heat of the day. The tour bus was very comfortable and new, enhancing the overall experience. The short distance between stops made the journey easy and pleasant, while Francesca's informative commentary kept us engaged throughout. Our last stop was particularly memorable: a remarkable church with three churches built on top of one another. This unique site was a testament to the rich history and architectural wonders we explored. The tour concluded in a fantastic foodie area, ideal for a delicious dinner. It was the perfect ending to a day filled with discovery and enjoyment. Overall, this tour was outstanding. From Francesca's exceptional guidance to the fascinating sites and comfortable transportation, every aspect was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore and enjoy!

It was a quiet tour with bus travel. The guide was very passionate but sometimes difficult to follow. In addition, there was another large group of very loud Germans who were annoying. We highly recommend this tour if you do not want to walk too much (and are not afraid of the dark, haha)

Vanessa was our tour guide and we could not have been more thankful to have her showing us the way. Extremely polite, well mannered and organised tour guide who was very clearly passionate about what she was teaching us and passionate about giving us the best possible experience. Very approachable I could not recommend Vanessa more

This tour came as quite a surprise to me, I wasn't really sure what to expect. I would have liked more time at Capuchin Crypts. I had to rush the bone gallery as I spent so much time looking at the first section. All in all I thought the guide was very knowledgeable, welcoming and made everyone feel included. Without being rude, it may be suggested that he use deodorant before the tours. I don't mean to offen but it wasn't very pleasant.

It was a hugely interesting tour, even though I had already been to these same Catacombs over 7 years ago. The guide, Alan, was awesome, he answered all of our questions whilst giving an interesting and captavating history of not only the places we were visiting but of Rome aswell and was very helpful in getting us all moving in the right directions after the tour aswell. The tour was an experience I am not likely to ever forget and I definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to see more of Rome then just the big tourist spots.

We loved the Catacombs tour that we went on in Rome, the catacombs themselves were eerie but fascinating. Our guide for this tour,Alain was very knowledgeable and helpful, and really helped to make the tour an amazing experience. Would recommend it.

Everything was really top-notch, but the only downside was that the place where we left and where we were dropped off at the end of the tour was on the opposite side of town, and we weren't warned, so it was rush hour and a real pain to get out of the city at that time of day.
