Great

Fantastic tour, I wish you could pick your tour guide…if you could I would say you have to take this tour with Federico! He was AMAZING! Super engaging, knowledgeable, born and raised Roman, and loves his job. One of the most entertaining tours I’ve ever been on.

Average

We were originally excited to take our son on this tour that we had taken with you several years ago. However, the entire experience is different and less personal. We don't like the use of headsets to hear the tour guide - the tours used to be smaller and more personal and that was not needed. We don't like the new way to walk through the Capuchin crypt with their headsets and the abbreviated time there. The catacombs are always impressive, but the hand off to another tour guide was confusing. Then the return to a different location than the meeting point always leaves you a little off balance.

Excellent

I wasn’t quite sure what I signed up for and the what I saw wasn’t what I expected, simply because I just blindly booked this tour based on a review from a friend, but the guide was great and I saw some really interesting artifacts and history of Rome I was unaware of. The guide was Francesca (I believe) and she had a great sense of humor. If you’re into morbid stuff, definitely do this your!

Had such a great day! Our guide, Chiara, was phenomenal and so much fun! Very knowledgeable and passionate about the stops on the tour. The air conditioned bus with Fabrizio wasn’t a bad perk either! We had a great time.

Our Guide was incredible. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour itself was good. The aqueducts were my favorite. The bone art was odd and felt rushed due to the number of people.

FAQs

Is this tour wheelchair accessible?

No. Unfortunately, due to site restrictions we cannot accommodate wheelchairs on this tour. If you use a wheelchair and book this tour by accident, we are happy to offer you credit for a future tour that is wheelchair accessible anywhere in the world, or a full refund.

IMPORTANT: What should I wear?

The bone crypts beneath churches are holy places so attire must be appropriate for the visit. Both men and women are asked to wear clothing that covers at least the shoulders and knees. Walks cannot be held responsible for denied entry due to improper dress. It is sufficient to bring extra coverings with you and put them on before our entrance to the holy areas.

Can I take pictures at the sites visited on the Crypts and Catacombs tour?

Taking pictures in the bone crypts is strictly prohibited. In the Catacombs, pictures are allowed but you are not allowed to shoot any frescoes with flash photography because of the effect that flash has on the paint.

I'm claustrophobic, will I be okay on this tour?

The Roman Catacombs are composed of narrow passagways that run deep underground. These can definitely cause problems for people who suffer from claustrophobia.
