Wonderful tour - I would do this tour again! Well organized. Our driver, Paolo, was punctual, precise in his movements, and very friendly. He picked us up in a clean and well-maintained Mercedes. The tour was truly interesting. I would recommend it to everyone.

Another Fantastic Tour with This Company - After having such a great experience with their Pompeii and Positano day trip, we decided to book another tour with them — the Private Tour of the Appian Way and Christian Catacombs — and once again, they did not disappoint. This tour had a completely different atmosphere compared to our previous one, and that’s exactly what we loved about it. Instead of a long scenic day along the coast, this experience was more intimate and focused on Rome’s deeper history. The Appian Way was peaceful and beautiful, far from the busy city center, and walking along those ancient stones was truly special. The visit to the Christian Catacombs was the highlight. It was fascinating to explore the underground tunnels and learn about early Christian history. The guide was professional, knowledgeable, and explained everything in a clear and engaging way without overwhelming us with too much information. We also appreciated the private setup — it allowed us to move at our own pace and ask questions freely. The transportation was punctual and comfortable, just like on our previous tour with them. What stands out most about this company is their consistency. Both tours we booked were very well organized, smooth, and exactly as described. It’s reassuring to find a team you can trust for different types of experiences. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore a quieter, more historical side of Rome.

Andrea and Federica top notch! - Couldn't have asked for a better tour of the Catacombs and Crypts! Andrea and Federica, our private driver and personal guide picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the capuchin crypts. In here Federica explained the history and reasons of the Capuchin order and really put everything into a lovely perspective. Afterwards, we hopped on back into the van to take a 15mins drive on the outskirts of Rome where Federica guided us through the underground maze of tunnels of the Catacombs of Domitilla, as Federica said, nearly 200k people found peace in these Catacombs. Once back on the van, they toke us around the corner to physically walk on the old Appian road. The first road that made the saying all roads lead to Rome possible! The same road Julius Cesar walked on! Unbelievable it was still intact. Andrea and Federica took us back to our hotel and gave us thousands of recommendations along the way, where true Romans would go eat, shop and go out at night. All in all a great experience and definitely recommending Andrea and his services to all my friends and family back home!
