We hired a private driver through TripAdvisor to take us on our tour. Our tour through the catacombs was so interesting! Everyone really enjoyed it. The history behind the catacombs was very fascinating. Then we went to the St. John of Lateran Church and it was gorgeous! The last stop on this tour was a the Capuchin Church where we toured the museum and the crypt. The Crypt was one of the coolest things we saw on our trip to Rome and we highly recommend it to everyone! Our driver Marco was very nice and informative. We were not allowed to take pictures in the catacombs or the crypt.
