Spectacular tour!!!! - We absolutely loved the tour of Roman Catacombs and Bone Chapels. Our guide Sonia was AMAZING! The day of our tour, it was just our family of four with Sonia which was an added bonus. Sonia is patient, answered all of our (sometimes random) questions and definitely has a passion for the history and details of the locations we visited. Along the way, as our fabulous driver Alessandro, drove us around the busy streets of Rome seamlessly, Sonia shared additional details about Rome and things we should see. Our tour started underground at the Catacombs which are a historical marvel here in Rome and it ended at the Bone Chapel and that must be seen to be believed! Having Sonia with us, to bring it all to life, made it interesting and fun. It was simply a spectacular morning stepping back in time. If you’re on the fence about booking this tour, I’m telling you to do it. You’ll certainly enjoy it and it’s very nice doing as a smaller group.
