This was a great experience! Federica was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The catacombs and the ossuary were both fascinating. We learned a lot, had fun, and were able to see these sites easily in one afternoon.
Excellent Tour

Amanda was fabulous! Her knowledge of the crypts and their history was amazing. We learned so much from her on this tour. Our only concern was she was not able to go down into the crypts with us. They had us in a group of 25 with a guide who had a very heavy accent. He was difficult to understand and he moved us through the crypts at a quick pace, leaving little time to see or learn much about them. Thank goodness for Amanda! She explained everything that we were shown in the crypts, once we joined her again, to give us a clear understanding. Fascinating tour. Highly recommend if there were less crowded underground crypts to visit with Amanda.
Great tour with Amanda

Never before have we seen bones hanging on walls in a museum! The catacombs were amazing. Amanda was a fantastic guide who was very knowledgeable. She also gave us a great recommendation for pizza at lunch.

It was so cool to be in the catacombs and the private tour is definitely the way to go, it was great not being with a larger group. Our guide clearly knew a lot and was so helpful after the tour, giving us lots of recommendations on where to eat. The Roman Guy is great!

I do not give compliments freely, but this tour service is SUPERB. Not only were they courteous and upscale, the tour guide we had for our Catacombs Tour in Rome was an Archeologist. She could answer just about any question we came up with. Our private tour of Rome in a Day was unbelievable. Our tour guide was an Historian who took excellent care of us, made sure we were front-and-center on everything she explained. We also had a private car drive us around, and we honestly couldn't have been happier with the service from beginning to end. They truly raised the bar! When we go back we will not hesitate to call them again. Do yourself a favor - these guys are the greatest.
Very Personal!!!!

Rome Underground Tour, Catacombs & Mithraeum
September 19, 2017 13 pm EST
The tour, led by Cristiana Ventura, takes in the Basilica of San Clemente, the Catacombs of Domatilla a short distance outside the city and the Appian Way and Aurelian Walls. Christina was very knowledgeable about the sights and the history of Rome. We were walking through time as we toured the Basilica as the site has 4 layers of buildings starting from 100 BC. Each layer has ben excavated. In the catacombs, she provided insight to the lives of the early Christians who lived there. I recommend this tour as 1) our guide was very knowledgeable (allowing for an appreciation of the life and times of the people) and 2) the group was small (allowing time for discussion and questions). I highly recommend the tour. The Basilica, because of the history of the location) is one of the hidden secrets for Rome.

They call San Clemente the " Lasagna church". We loved every second of it. Our favorite part of the tour
Great Private Tour

We did 3 private tours with The Roman Guy. This one was my favorite bc it was so off the beaten path. San Clemente is super cool. Catacombs are great too and way out of town. Walking on Appian way was the best for me though. Just thinking that Caesar walked on those same roads made is a great experience. Guide spoke great english and I think our driver was born behind the wheel of a car. He found a way around traffic like it was no problem.
