We enjoyed this tour through the Capuchin Crypts and the Catacombs. It was very interesting to hear about the history. We also enjoyed the bus ride on the Appian Way and it was nice to see other parts of Rome along the way. Our tour guide was very good. Highly recommend this tour.

Monica was a very good guide. There were headsets in the crypts but Monica was with us to keep everyone on the right "page". The catacombs have their own guide but Monica narrated the entire ride to the catacombs and back giving us a lot of valuable information that I wasn't expecting. Very good tour!

Thought this would be just looking at eery crips, but ended up being so much more!! Definitely recommended.
Super cool tour but probably could do on own.

We loved both sites and our guides. The sites were unique. They guides did offer interesting Rome commentary during the walk to 1st place and on bus ride to second. The one thing that made me question whether we should do it on our own is that we had an audio tour at Capuchin and the crypts require their own tour guide. So our guides just waited for us. Each place cost 10 Euros per person. I did not price the transportation to the crypt. Tour cost us each about $76 each. I think it would have been less expensive to do on our own.

We had Arvi??( sp) and he was wonderful. He also partnered half way with a woman, who was excellent.
It was obvious they loved their work, their city and the tourists.
Really enthusiastic , passionate and knowledgeable.
Fascinating subjects that we knew nothing about and a real change from forum/ coliseum things.

Enjoyed the tour. Guides Davida and Claudio were entertaining and informative. We think we were the last catacomb tour of the day and as a result it seemed that the catacomb guide (not from the tour company) was in a rush to finish. Suggest going on an earlier tour to avoid this.
Cool and creepy tour - a can’t miss!

Matteo took us to the catacombs and crypts two related but totally different experiences.
During the drive to the catacombs he gave us some basic history of Rome and the catacombs and made sure to point out the historical places we passed such as the Circus Maximus.
Although we had a separate tour guide for the actual catacomb tour Matteo made himself available for any questions or problems. He was right there when we came up.
The catacombs are a very interesting tour and the local guide was very informative. We learned a lot during the tour. Note that this tour would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.
After the tour we drove on the Appian Way back to Piazza Barberini to tour the crypts.
This tour is not for the squeamish but it was one of the coolest creepy things I’ve ever seen and my husband agreed. This is an audio tour so you can take your time inside the museum and crypts. It is well worth your time and a unique experience.
Again Matteo could not accompany us in the crypts but made himself available before and after. He even gave us a terrific suggestion for dinner which turned out to be delicious!

Fiona was an excellent guide, full of knowledge and extra anecdotes that really brought this tour to life. Being Australian meant she had no problem understanding our questions. The tour info did say we would see the Appian Way and we didn't go near it which was a bit of a let down but we've already recommended this tour to people we've met since we did it. Great!
