I love this experience! - I had a wonderful experience visiting the Catacombs of San Callisto with Tourist Station. The tour was extremely well organized, from the meeting point to the end of the visit. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and explained the history of the catacombs in a clear and fascinating way, making the experience both educational and moving. The atmosphere of the catacombs is unique, and the guide helped us fully appreciate their historical and spiritual importance. I highly recommend Touristation for anyone who wants to explore Rome’s underground heritage in a professional and enjoyable way.

Unique and very significant experience - Unique and very significant experience Visited yesterday with my family, it was a very special and memorable experience. The Capuchin Crypt impresses and invites reflection on the meaning of life and time. The route is well organized and explanations help to understand the meaning of the place. Despite the intense atmosphere, it was also an interesting visit to share with the family. Recommended for those looking for something different in Rome.

Super tour - It was a wonderful tour, we really enjoyed it all. First we were taken on a catacomb tour, and then they took us to Cryptus Cappuccini. Everything was super organized, we felt it was going right. Advise everyone 😊

Good experience half with guide and half self-guided - Overall very interesting, although not guided in its entirety and missing information. The bus section is not fluid. In my case I had to wait 30 minutes (it should be 10) and I almost did not reach the catacombs of the Capuchins.

Could have been better organised but we loved the history - Unfortunately our transfer between the catacombs and the crypt was unable to make it so we had to make our own way to the crypt, but the operator gifted us another excursion for the inconvenience. The catacombs were so interesting. It's VERY cold underground so definitely wrap up if you go. The tour guide was not as engaging as we've experienced with other trips in Rome, but she got the information across. We sat in a room for 20 mins before setting off for the excursion watching an AI video on historical Rome which was a little unrelated, and the transfer driver to the catacombs didn't give us a time to return, so we ended up sitting on the transport for a long time waiting for others when we could have grabbed a warm coffee and spent a little more time wandering about. Overall the experience was good but could have been much better organised. The crypt was so cool, seeing all the bones in each section and learning all about the history.
