We were very fortunate to have such a knowledgeable guide through San Clemente and the catacombs. He was able to answer all our questions.

Took this tour as i was interested in the history, paintings and frescoes found in the Catacombs and the Basilica. Samuele my guide was exceptional. We discussed my interests at the start of the tour and my interest in the art work. The tour started with a drive to the Catacombs of Domitilla. There was good narration / question and answer all the way there. At the catacombs Samuele took care of everything. From beginning to end shared all the important information regarding the burial site. He wove in a lot of knowledge regarding the art present in the underground system. We returned to St. Clement's Basilica and had the same experience. He shared all the important information regarding the tiered structure and wove in all types of details regarding the paintings found in the building. It felt like sharing time with a PHD of the two areas we toured. He picked up on the fact i had traveled all night on an overnight flight and graciously repeated things i didn't hear through my tiredness. Overall a great experience and would recommend Samuele as a guide.

This was an amazing tour and our guide was phenomenal. Her name was Marle Robinson and you must request her because her knowledge is mind blowing! We are changed forever after spending the afternoon with her. The catacombs are truly amazing and your must see them.

This is the best tour I did in Rome! Very interesting sites, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The group was also small which was a plus.

We had a wonderful experience with Sara as our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and interesting. By happy accident we were the only people signed up for this tour so our family had a private guide! We saw and learned so much about the catacombs, the artwork in and around some of the burials, and the history of the region. I had chosen this catacomb tour because I had heard St. Domitilla were the best in Rome, despite others being, perhaps, more popularly visited. They did not disappoint! And we loved that they were less crowded than others as well. We ended our morning with a tour of St Clement's church which surprised us as one of our favorite churches in Italy. This was largely due to having Sara to explain what we were seeing in the frescoes and the significance of all the three levels of history encompassed by the church and it's underground. We would not have gotten as much out of that church without having a guide with us. We probably would not have known to visit it at all but it was well worth it.
