    Sammy, our tour guide, started the day with an engaging historical backstory that was relevant to the tour. We arrived on time, but it seemed he was wrapping up his brief as we joined the group, which caused us to miss some initial context. During the visit to the Monks Crypt, Sammy offered us the option to skip the museum and head directly to the crypt. While he assured us there would be enough time to see everything, I found myself rushing through the crypt due to a tight schedule, as I had hoped to listen to all of the audio guide but ran out of time. Additionally, Sammy moved at a brisk pace, which made it challenging for the group to stay together, especially since we were navigating multiple streets and turns. This led to some group members losing sight of him. We were left wondering about the shuttle that was supposed to be included; it turned out to be quite far away, which wasn't communicated well. It might be beneficial for future tours if the shuttle could be closer to the starting point or if the timing could be adjusted, allowing for more leisurely exploration of each site, including the audio guides. In the catacombs, the group was a bit too large to comfortably fit and fully engage with what Sammy was explaining as we moved through the tunnels. Overall, with some adjustments to pacing and communication, the tour could be even more enjoyable and informative!

  • Skip the lines and step straight into the chilling yet mesmerizing Capuchin Crypt. With your audio guide in hand, begin unraveling the eerie secrets of this underground chamber.

    A walk through bone-adorned chapels

    Wander through six crypts where the remains of 4,000 Capuchin friars are arranged in intricate, almost artistic displays. Skulls, femurs, and vertebrae form chandeliers, arches, and decorative motifs—each with a deeper symbolism.

    The Capuchin Museum & the painting of St. Francis

    Before you leave, explore the Capuchin Museum, which showcases artifacts, manuscripts, and Caravaggio’s famous St. Francis in Meditation, offering insight into the order’s austere way of life.
