Traveler reviews
As interesting as the...
As interesting as the catacombs were, we particularly enjoyed the tour under St Clement’s Basilica. We were only 2 in our group that chose this option and thoroughly enjoyed a private, incredibly informative tour with our guide!
Very interesting but no skulls or bones
This is a very neat tour but you are not allowed to take photos or videos. This is not the excursion to see skulls or bones.
The storytelling style...
The storytelling style of this tour is perfect for the sites. We learned a lot and were amazed by the discoveries.
St Clemente’s.
Our guide was excellent made the tour so interesting. The catacombs were fascinating and st Clements was so beautiful.
Top leadership
There were three of us as a family, and so the tour felt very personal. The tour was very competent, informative and entertaining. Highly recommended!
