After Hours Rome Catacombs Tour with Capuchin Crypts

Fantastic Guide

Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The catacombs were incredible the guide there was exceptional. She was extremely knowledgeable and thank god it is underground. It was very refreshing considering it was 36degrees outside. Well worth it in the summer during the day!!!

A bit late and a bit too preachy

The instructions told us to come 15 min early to ensure a prompt start time. We were there as well as the other members of the tour, but no one was holding a sign. Eventually our tour guide, Oscar, came over, letting us know that there’s some problem with ticket office. It was not his fault at all and he was very nice, but we had to wait for 45 min post start time. Which means we were rushed through the first crypt which wasn’t great. We also waited in front of the museum in which we heard that this was not the first time this happened with the tickets not being there on time for the tour. Once again, Oscar was very informative and helpful. When we went to the next spot, we had sister Elena take us down to the catacombs. It was very cool to see but we had maybe fourish spots we looked at, and she mostly told us Catholic beliefs and parables while down there rather than historical facts or information about the catacombs. I would have preferred a bit more to see as we were down there for about an hour.

In awe

I was moved by what I saw -it was so different, interesting and fascinating. I very much enjoyed the experience as you will too. Davide was our guide and he was informative and friendly. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent experience

Loved this evening tour! Perfect for hot summer days in Rome, since you get to go underground and see some amazing crypts (and cool off!). Getting to enter the Priscilla Catacombs after it's closed to the public is very special. Highly recommend!

Davide was amazing! Very informative and knowledgeable, but also funny! The tour itself was incredible. The crypts were beautiful, and the paintings within the catacombs were truly breathtaking. Going in the evening truly gave everything the right atmosphere. I would absolutely take this tour again.

Incredible experience!

Fabrizio and team were amazing from getting us to the crypt and catacombs as well as explaining their deep meaning and historical significance! Fabrizio was helpful anytime I had a question and allowed room in the tour for each person’s specific questions and interests! Father Jo (from Austria) did a fantastic job explaining the catacombs and making it interesting even to a group of varied ages (probably 5-80 years old) Great job Fabrizio and team!!! 👍😀

Amazing

This tour was fantastic. We had 2 different catacombs. The first catacombs had all these bones arranged artfully. It was so surprising when you see it up close. The Catacombs of Priscillla was our second stop. It was amazing! The caretaker of this place gave an amazing tour. She knew the Bible history and and provided so much history. This was my husband’s favorite tour, and he is hard to impress. Fiona was our guide and she gave us so much information about Roma, the people, and history. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Super interesting

Both parts of the tour were super interesting. We love ossuaries so I'm glad we got to see one, but the museum portion overall should be a bit longer in my opinion, as the audioguide tracks were a bit long and of course you'll want to listen to as much as you can to understand what you're seeing. The Priscilla catacombs were fantastic, and it was mostly thanks to Hermann's superb guiding and knowledge. Fiona did a great job filling us in with the context of the city and the sites we visited. I would recommend this tour if you're looking to spend a nice and informative afternoon in Rome.

Something different!

After days of touring various old towns in Italy, this tour was a welcome change. Fiona was very knowledgeable and also shared a little about life living in Rome. On this tour I learned some history that was not taught in school. I now want to do some research and learn more about the Capuchin practices and the challenges facing Christians before the 15th century.

Fun tour though not quite what we expected. The tour guide was great, very personable. Recommend a mic for the guide or hearing devices. Hard to hear within the city noise. The guide at the catacombs was very knowledgeable and professional. The first part takes you to a museum though not enough time to absorb all the information and exhibits. The second part is a bus ride to the catacombs. The two parts are not directly related. It’s interesting that there is a bustling city and right below are the catacombs. An interesting way to spend an evening.

The tour is too short for the content

Our tour guy actually was not the guide for either attraction. He was more of a facilitator that took us to both places. He did a good job of describing the city during the bus ride. Neither he or the lady in the gift shop at thr crypt were very knowledgeable on the subject matter. It was primarily an audio tour that i longer than the time allowed. The crypt itself was an interesting experience. The catacombe portion was great. The guide there was fantastic and knew everything we asked. Because we were short on time, it was obvious our tour was abbreviated. I brought my own flashlight and found two sarcophagus that were very cool but skipped right past in the dark. This place was one of the highlights of Rome for me. I highly recommend.
