Not worth it, over priced, rude staff. I understand it’s a religious place but it has nothing to offer. There are about 6 rooms in the crypt with bony remains of friars arranged. It seems too mechanical. Reminds one of dissection halls. And staff is clueless about everything

romillyg2021

Staff are extremely rude, I was accused of taking photos and had someone go through my phone and accuse me of lying and even after I’d proved I hadn’t she continued to lecture me about how disrespectful I was despite the fact I’d not been in the crypt more than two minutes and hadn’t turned on my phone. She called me stupid even after I’d showed her my camera roll and had convinced herself I’d taken a photo on some sort of secret camera. On top of this the dress code is extremely sexist, I respect that it is a holy place and had my shoulders and legs covered but I was told I was dressed too immodestly and made to buy a cover as my skirt finished just below my knee despite the men inside walking around in shorts finishing well above there knees, would have been a much more enjoyable experience but staff need to be less hostile

Our tour guide Max was very knowledgeable and pointed out many items we would of missed on the tour. He guided us through at a great pace. We ended up being the only people on the tour and Max gave us the best tour. Thanks Max!!

Such an unusual and spiritual place to visit. Having Max take us round and explain the meanings behind everything was very worthwhile.

My partner and I had Dimitri show us around the Capuchin Museum and Crypt. We really didnt have much of an idea of what to expect but we ended up having a really great time! Dimitri had so much information and passion to share for the Capuchin order and was really amazing at adding context to everything we were seeing. I cannot recommend the tour and Dimitri enough. Thank you!

Very interesting and just the right time length at 1 hour long. Our tour guide Demitri was excellent in his knowledge and his story telling style as he even kept the interest of our 17 and 14 year olds.

Our guide, Dmitri, was knowlegeable and friendly. He gave us an interesting history of the Franciscans, the Capuchins and their relationship to the church before explaining the origins of the extraordinary decoration of the crypts. I attended with my sons (aged 18 and 16) and they were attentive and interested throughout, which is some achievement in itself! The whole tour lasted around 40 minutes but the museum tickets are valid for the whole day and so we could have returned to spend more time there later if we wished.

Theresa_M

This is an excellent addition to your trip to Rome and only takes an hour, although you are free to return at your leisure throughout the day. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The crypts themselves are not eerie as you might expect, they are art and the story behind them is incredible. I would definitely recommend a guided tour if you want to get the full benefit of visiting here.
