Do it!
Xander was really great! I’ve been to Rome three times and this is one of my favorite experiences. You can see so much of the city quickly AND it’s so fun!

Brando was great—highly recommend
Brando was an excellent guide. We did the Catacombs tour with the Capuchin Crypt tour. (Sorry to file this under Rome highlights, but was not presented with a Catacombs option.) He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and effectively and patiently answered an unreasonable amount of questions from us. 10/10. Would definitely ask for Brando on another tour.
