First off, our tour guide Heather was fantastic. She was very bubbly, fun & knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the tour was mediocre. If you’re expecting bones…don’t do this tour. The photo is misleading & there are literally no bodies or bones in these catacombs. Far outside Rome & would not do again or recommend.

Nothing was memorable except the euro32 taxi ride to the catacombs meeting site to discover it was closed. Other taxis arrived also. The tour operators stated they called me. They did not, no calls. In fact the day before I received a message to confirm the meeting time and place. Got to be joking you didn’t know catacombs would be closed Easter ahead of time. I called Viator asked for discount on next tour because I wasted money and time. Very disappointing.

Mike is a great story teller and he knows his history. I attended this tour with my 2 teenage boys, both of whom were engaged and intellectually challenged. The highlight of this tour is being within reaching distance from some of the earliest known Christian frescoes depicting Peter and Jesus Christ. It was yet another testimony of the reality of His divinity.

This tour was amazing! If you don’t go on this tour you are really missing out. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Rome. Our guide was OUTSTANDING. I can’t remember his name but he was from South Africa and is getting married next
Month.

Absolutely loved the tour guide - Heather. Very interesting tour. I actually booked this thinking it was the Capichin crypts, it’s not. The first photo of skulls is not at the catacombs, it’s a little misleading. But I highly recommend this tour!

We booked this tour at the last minute, and we are so glad we did! Mike was a fantastic and funny tour guide - made references from Ferris Bueller to They Might Be Giants and just told us so much in a humorous and memorable way. The rest of our tour group was a tad reserved, but the four of us traveling together thought Mike was very entertaining and made us laugh out loud. Not only that, but every story he told (and he told us a LOT of information in a short time) was infused with history and respect in regard to how the Romans handled the traditions of the early Christians and their buried dead, as well as the early Popes when transforming into a Christian community. We honestly don't know how he (and the ancient people who buried the dead or painted frescoes) did not get lost in the maze(s) of the catacombs. Incredible. Lastly, the majority of the tour takes place underground where it is blissfully cool. It was an added bonus to beat the extreme heat Italy has been experiencing this summer.

Guide was professional, knowledgeable, courteous and answered all questions thoroughly. Venue was unbelievable and educational. Surpassed all expectations. Gift shop was well organized and had meaningful gifts. We arrived late because of delay finding taxis in hot crowded Rome. Guide was still giving intro and made us feel welcome. Brought us up to date as we moved to first stop.
