The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining, but the tour was kinda lame. The catacombs have no bones and the crypt was super small (no guide necessary). Also, in the crypt you still have to pay/donate to get in.
Trip was a bit rushed a heavy traffic due to Metro strike. The catacombs were fascinating as was the church with the first century roman villa below it - would have liked more time in both of these. The church with the bones was bizarre - I would have been happy with more time at the first two sites and not gone to the Capuchin monks site
Catacombs and Bassilica absolutely amazing and must sees. Not that impressed with the Crypt as a bit macabre in a way. Young guides were great, perhaps of 24 a littke big for some areas.
We loved this bike ride, we had a lovely guide Matteao who explained so much to us about Rome and Italy, he was so patient with our many questions. The catacombs were interesting and the scenery was wonderful. We loved the stop at the country villa that made cheese. For someone who hasn't ridden a bike much, the 30km was a fairly easy ride. A pleasant change from the hussle and bustle of Rome. Would recommend this tour.
It was an absolute pleasure to have Shannon, an American student from Alabama as our guide. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and love was evidenced in every word she spoke. My wife and I look for tours that are unique and the Crypts and Catacombs were amazing. Paraphrasing the quote as you were leaving the Crypts, what you are today, we were yesterday and what we are today you will be tomorrow, sums up how real the experience was. Highly recommend the tour!
Guide's English was difficult to unerstand at times although she was very enthusiastic and knew her stuff.Catacombs themselves were fascinating but the different guide took too large a group.
can't imagine not having a guide for the catacombs. overall great trip
Small group (only had 16) so felt we had a personal experience. Guide very informative and upbeat. First visit for me to the catacombs since I was 5 (more than 60 years ago) so it was a special trip. Favorite part of the trip was standing on the Appian Way and under the aqueducts. Highly recommended tour.
The guide was incredibly charming, had perfect English, and knew a lot of fascinating facts about the Catacombs and the Crypt! Highly recommend this tour.
Although the guide had some administration trouble with one of the catacombs not being open and paying problems, she dealt with it all very well and we were not left waiting around or missed any aspects of the tour. She was excellent with her explanations and she had great knowledge on all subjects. Amazing tour, well recommended!
This was by far the best tour we had in all of Italy. Its a great way to get outside of Rome, see ancient aqueducts, and bike on the oldest rode in the world. Our guide Manuel was fantastic and very informative. This was the only tour I happily tipped the guide and wished I had more to give!
We did the 6 hour tour with the catacombs. In hindsight I wish we could have skipped the catacomb tour as I thought it was very over-hyped and way too long. It was basically just walking through some restored underground tunnels (the catacombs were ransacked by barbarians and there's almost nothing down there except empty holes cut into the sides of the tunnels and one partial skeleton in a glass case that you have to line up to see). Unless you are specifically interested in seeing catacombs for religious reasons, an option to do the 6 hour tour without the catacombs would be ideal!
The sheep farm was very much a working farm as opposed to a quaint touristy stop, but I really appreciated the 'realness' of it and the owners were very welcoming and gracious, bringing out pizza and bread after learning I couldn't eat cheese.
One last note, coming from the US this tour seems to require more of a high level of fitness than medium! Its not all an easy stroll but definitely the best tour I've ever done. Highly recommended!
very interesting tour. Unfortunately spent ages getting to catacombs in heavy traffic and then huge number of tourists at site so long waits - meant St. Clements [which is fascinating] was a bit rushed and I had to leave before seeing the capuchin crypt as already close to 6pm. However was still definitely worth doing
The tour was really cool. Fewer than 20% of the people who visit Rome get to see the Catacombs. The tour was really cool, the group was small and our guide was awesome! Don't miss out on this tour. It's creepy be very neat!
We only did part of the tour as the Roman Catacombs were closed because of the snow that day. Our guide was wonderful, very informative and interesting. The visit to the Church was made all the more interesting because of our guide, Tiffany. The Crypts were well worth seeing as well, and having her to tell us all the background information was so much better than just going ourselves. The nice warm bus over to the Church that day was very welcome.
We loved the tour overall. We would recommend the tour. The bone church was cool and so was san clemente church. The countryside is beautiful on the drive out to the catacombs.
