Amazing this is all underground! Miles and miles of a maze! - We were lucky enough to be the only 3 English-speaking tourists, so we got our own personal guide to take us thru the catacombs. He is an extremely smart man with endless knowledge and he was great at adding in some humor with his delivery. The tour was an hour but it went by so quickly. The tunnels underground is a must-see!

Must see for history lovers - We arrived at our meeting point early, which was just up from the Colosseum, and waited for our transfer to the site. A lady came to collect us and put us in a taxi to the Catacombs. There, we were met by our tour guide Daniel. Thankfully, we were the only ones on the tour so as party of four, we made our way below ground level. It's worth noting that photographs and videos are forbidden in the catacombs. Daniel was very thorough and knowledgeable, and more than happy to answer any questions we had. The history of the catacombs is absolutely fascinating and I thoroughly recommend this experience for any history fans. It offers a great insight into ancient funerary practices and early Christianity. The catacombs are narrow in places and I imagine it would be rather uncomfortable in a big group, or difficult to hear/see what we were being shown. We were extremely lucky that the site was relatively quiet for our mid morning visit but large groups were arriving as were leaving. On a separate note, a previous trip to Rome included a visit to Basilica di San Clemente which is close to the pick up/drop off point. This is also an amazing must see!! Although at the time, we did it without a tour guide which I regret. Our guide Daniel explained he also provides tours there so absolutely give it a go! You could easily accommodate both on the same day.

Nice tour. - Very interesting tour. We booked the small group tour and it ended up just being the two of us. We very much appreciated that the tour operator did not cancel! The guide was wonderful. Very knowledgeable. The catacombs are definitely worth seeing. FYI - no photos are allowed in the catacombs.

This was a wonderful tour... - This was a wonderful tour if you love small underground spaces that once housed the dead, as my family and I do. This tour was informative, interesting, and just a little morbid. It was a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

Francesca was an amazing... - Francesca was an amazing guide—so knowledgeable and welcoming. The small group size is ideal due to the narrow passageways. I would recommend this experience!

Authentic tour - Exciting insights into the earliest Christianity and my understanding of it were clearly increased. You get the impression of a huge walking system, but you only have the opportunity to see a small part of it.

Expedited small group tour that is comprehensive for those pressed for time - Tour guide was excellent. Would have liked to have taken a few photos at a designated place but understand the solemn nature of the catacombs

Make sure you book the correct tour or you are just out your money - I bought this tour by mistake and wanted the combined tour of catacombs and crypts. I tried to cancel but they would not let me get any kind of a refund. Finding out that when you get to the catacombs they just give you a ticket and let you go with a guide there lets me know they really had no cost involved and could have given me some kind of a refund - even if it was just a partial refund. Sad that no one can work with customers and have decent customer service anymore.
