The catacombs tour was short, yet interesting. The 5 stars is for our tour guide, Giorgio, who was absolutely amazing. Since we had extra time, he took us to a few locations around Rome that were not filled with other tourists. He was so informative, professional and fun. Highly recommend their services.

The itinerary was seeing Catacombs of Saint Callixtus, Arcibasilica di San Giovanni in Laterano and Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. We went to the first one and we were told we have time to visit a couple of sites and because we had time so we visited 2 other sites then at the end of it we were told we were done and we did not even get to see what was on the itinerary

Patrick was a wonderful guide and we all had a great time! He was fun and informative and took us to some unique sights that we hadn't even thought of. We booked this tour last minute and were so happy that we did!

Very nice tour. It took us outside the city walls. Our driver and guide Patrick was highly knowledgeable and offered us a lot of history. Highly recommend!!

This was a great tour, private and well planned. We were able to see some of the great sights and a couple off the path. The catacombs were amazing. Our guide was a gentleman and very informative.

Early Christian burial history brought to life. Excellent tour leader, although very stern and fast moving. Would not recommend to someone who is unsteady on their feet or needs to walk a little more slowly.

We had a wonderful driver, very accommodating and helpful, showed us some places that were not even mentioned in description. Some viewpoints across the River with great views and also the cannon shooting and St Paul cathedral that is sort of out of the way. Catacombs are cool, we had a nice guide there as well. The only thing is you don’t actually get to see much of Apian Way because it’s hard for car to drive there, so you just get a glimpse. I guess you need to bike a walk if you want to get further. But still saw tons of cool stuff

I totally recommend this tour. Our driver arrived on time in a black BMW and was very nice and made us feel like VIP's. On the way to Catacombs he pointed at the important historical monuments and explained a little bit about them. He got us there and explained bit more about Catacombs and Appian Way - we even drove through the ancient road. Catacombs are worth seeing and go for miles. After the Catacombs he taken us around Rome and asked us where we wanted to go - he taken us to best view point in Rome. Then we went to Basilica of Saint Paul and we went inside where out driver explained the history and had a look around. At the end he asked us where to drop his off and we had a really good time. Thank you for an amazing time.

We had an amazing time visiting the catacombs as well as seeing a few different churches/basilicas. Patrick was a phenomenal guide! He told us many things things about Rome that we would never have found out online or in the guidebooks. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide was on time and we enjoyed the afternoon. The Catacombs was interesting and we didn't have to wait long for the Catacombs tour. The Applan Way was interesting and our tour guide was knowledgeable.
