Rome Catacombs Tour and Capuchin Crypts with Transportation

It was good! Could have been better.

We were excited to explore the Catacombs and Crypts, but I wish I’d researched more beforehand. We didn’t realize the Rome Catacombs no longer contain bodies, which made the experience less impactful than expected. That said, the history was fascinating, and the Capuchin Crypts were especially compelling. Our guide was fantastic—her insights extended beyond the tour, even helping us (days later) recognize a fountain commissioned by the Barberini family. Overall, while the guide and context were excellent, I’m not sure I would’ve booked this tour had I known exactly what it included.

Exceptional Tour

Excellent tour given by Pia, we did not know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. The history and thought put into exhibit was very touching.

Very nice

Very nice. On time and helpful. Good tour

Catacombs/Capuchin tours

Both good. Guided were informative. One negative was not enough time to go through the Capuchin crypt-felt rushed

Rome Catacombs and Capuchin Crypts Tour

Wonderful tour with our wonderfully knowledgeable guide Sylvia. Her explanations were clear. She was friendly with great explanations to questions that came up.

Great tour

Our guide went above and beyond to see that we were happy with all parts of the tour. It was a great length and well managed.

Worth it

When i booked this tour for my party of 3 the first comment I got was "why so morbid?" I actually didnt know what to expect but wanted to do something unique for my Rome visit. First off, Monika was the best. She was knowledgeable, assertive and on top of things. The pace was good and the coordination that she oversaw was amazing. We were fortunate to be in her van and learned so much. Enjoyed both the creepy crypt and the super cool docent led catacombs tour. Highly recommend!

Excellent Tour Guide for Interesting Locations!

Monica was great sharing so much history and general information with us. She made sure that everyone had a great experience and learned about the history of this beautiful city. I don’t usually write reviews, but wanted to recognize Monica for really making this an unforgettable experience for us.

Excellent

Really good tour. Monica our guide was friendly and knew all about her subject. Whole thing was smooth from easy meeting point to transport to catacombs and back. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic tour!

This was very well spent time and our guide was terrific! Don’t miss this tour!

Communication issues

The tour I was on will be rated poorly by a lot of people, simply because of the snafu at the end when only 2 of the 3 vans were available to transport us back to the city. I understand these things happen, and have no problem with that. However, I do have some (hopefully) constructive criticisms of the tour: 1) End Point. There was no indication where the tour would end. I therefore assumed it would be at the starting point. It was far from that, so I ended up having to walk 20 minutes to my hotel instead of 5 minutes. This was the case for both tours I did in Florence as well. I think it should be noted on every tour. 2) Communication. This one started in a square with noisy traffic going around it. Without electronic devices, it was very hard to hear Claudio talk unless you were right next to him. Then, when we were at the entrance to the Cappuchin Crypts, he did not give any instructions on how we were to tour them. He waited until we were in the first room of exhibits, and talked very quietly, again making it hard to hear him. He also didn't explain how the museum's electronic guide worked, so it took me a while to figure it out, putting me at the end of the tour. Next, we got into 3 vans, and every time ours got to a certain distance from the one Claudio was broadcasting from, the sound would break up. His commentary on the way to the tombs was mostly useless. Especially when he would say "and on your right..." and we had no idea what he was pointing at. So I have no beef with Claudio, who is a nice guy and tried hard, but the set up for the tour had serious flaws. Thanks for listening.

Great time!

Pia was wonderful! Our whole family had a great time!
