Traveler reviews
The worst
VIATOR MAP SENT ME TO THE WRONG LOCATION TWICE. I have been on the phone for over an hour trying to get it all sorted out. I will never use this app again
Something different for a change
It was very impressive and the audio guide was perfectly sufficient as a guide. It pleased both young and old. Since it was 32 degrees warm above ground, it was also a pleasant alternative to above-ground sightseeing. Maybe bring something to put on. 177 stairs down and back up, just for info for people who have problems with their knees.
Fun and informative
Jonny was an excellent guide. Lots of interesting facts that are not part of the typical signage. Fun extras on the the tour that were not part of the standard fare.
Excellent information about the catacombs
Johnny was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, and passionate about passing along the history of the catacombs. I learned a lot and his enthusiasm was infectious. Thank you!
When booking other tours...
When booking other tours via Viator, i came across this one for the Catacombs. It's not something I'd heard of previously and it looked interesting. Andrei, our guide, was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, kept us moving however with sufficient time to review what he spoken about. We did the additional 'secret' areas which are only available with a 3rd party guide.
