The crypts were fantastic and above expectations.
Transport was excellent.
Unfortunately other non english speaking people joined the catacomb tour and disrupted our listening with the need for constant translations. There were German tours available I had noticed so this was both annoying and disappointing. I had thought this was a tour for the group who had booked the crypt part as well.
You need to think about age restrictions as the crypt is not really suitable for screaming children!!!!
See a different side of Rome

Fiona was energetic and great. She organised everything well and was a fount of iteresting information. I found the Capuccian Crypts very interesting and would have liked time to listen to the whole audio guide, I felt a bit rushed there. But appreciated that Fiona told us which highlights not to miss.
I REALLY enjoyed seeing the Appian way - the most ancient part. And learn that it was mentioned in the bible (Acts 28)
The catacoubms were a bit of a disappointment. My teens didn't understand what they were walking trough. The local guide here (not Fiona) was monotone and soft spoken. He was hard for me to understand and I was concentrating! My teens just zoned out. I was sorry about this because when I went to the catacoumbs 13 years ago, it was one of my highlights and I thought my teens would love it.

Both the crypts and catacombs were fascinating to see. Matteo kept wonderful information coming as we shuttled between locations and was both entertaining and interesting. Thank you.

Mateo our guide filled us with information throughout our trip. The guide in the catacombs was equally excellent in providing the history of the catacombs.
Amazing Experience

Excellent tour of Capuchin Crupt and catacombs with our very knowledgeable tour guide Federica! While walking and also on the bus heading to the catacombs she pointed out interesting details and told us very fun facts about Rome. The tour of the crypt is self guided once you get there, but she gave us good information before that part. Really enjoyed the afternoon and evening!

Frederika was AMAZING! We got stuck in the middle of a public transport strike in the rain, and it was at closing time when we finally went to the Catacombs. She ensured they would still get us in at the last minute and take us on the tour. I can't tell you how great that was. She also entertained us with tourism info, things to eat, things to do and not do in Rome, etc. She was a fabulous tour guide!!!
The tour itself was also amazing... it's a must-do while in Rome!

Arvin was our guide for this tour and what a bundle of energy he was. You could tell how excited he was to be our guide. He was very informative at the Crypts and then telling us all about the sights around the city as we took the ride to the Catacombs. At the end of our tour he also gave us ideas and recommendations for local places to eat at. This was a very interesting and Erie tour and we really enjoyed our time on it.

The crypt was an interesting experience that I was not expecting. It was a "weird" feeling, which the tour guide explained before she lead us inside. I didn't feel creepy while inside the crypt, with so many human bones!
