We got to our meeting point 15 minutes early. Nobody showed. I messaged the guide and got no response. I messaged Viator and sent pictures of the place we were and sent screen shots of my tour details plainly stating the meeting place. Finally, 30 minutes after the tour was supposed to begin, Viator called the tour operator and was told they had changed the meeting point and forgot to update their information with Viator. So, we wasted Uber fare to get there and an hour of the last day of our vacation, and didn’t get to see one of the top things on our list.

We booked this tour and arrived at the meeting point. We tried to call the company and no answer as there was no one there to meet us. 2 minutes before the tour was to start we received a refund email from Viator. As we leave Rome this afternoon there is no chance to book with anyone else and so we have now missed out on one of the attractions we really wanted to see. If I could rate 0 stars I would. Extremely disappointed.

The tour was canceled. It was canceled for internal reasons? We were really looking forward to touring.

We had such an awesome guide in Serena. She was so knowledgeable and entertaining. So full of energy. The bones crypt was a bit fightening but we were well prepared for it by the guide. Well worth visiting.

Really interesting tour, with perspectives on multiple eras of religion and lifestyles, from the ancients Romans through to more recent Capuchin Monks. Beautiful - one of our favorite experiences in Rome. Tour guide was lovely, laid back, and very informative.

This was a very interesting tour over about 3 hours to 3 sites in Rome including catacombs and the Capuchin crypt. The tour went ahead even though there was just the 2 of us so it ended up being like a private tour. Our guide Sara was first class.

First, we received a message that the crypts would not be open the day of our trip and if we wanted to reschedule we could. However, this was our last day in Rome, and we weren't as interested in the crypts as we were for the catacombs. As it ended up we the office was confused and the catacombs were not open, we were very disappointed. In addition, our tour group was 22 people, I don't consider this a small group. It was very difficult to see what the guide was talking about as some of the rooms weren't able to fit the entire group. Our guide, I am sure was knowledgeable but his voice was soft and we weren't able to understand most of the tour. Next time I will inquire how large the group will be as this was a great disappointment.

The catacombs tour was wonderful, 3 stops and saw a lot of the city in the process. Our guide Nina was absolutely first rate: fun, pleasant, just a delight. We would recommend this tour to anyone. Bob and Gloria
