Excellent tour to dig even deeper into history of the area - This tour was really great. If you're interested in diving into history outside of the center of Rome, please do this tour. Our guide was fantastic! We essentially had a private tour and got to dig into history, politics, art, mythology, religion and more. Our guide tailored the tour information to what we expressed interest in so we learned about history through the centuries up to and including more contemporary history of the use of this site during and after WWII. This is well worth a quick metro trip from the more typical tourist spots!

Culturally enriching and refreshing out of the beaten path tour! - This great tour was culturally enriching! It was so refreshing to finally have an experience that was so much above the usual blended material offer to mass tourism. Riccardo was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing such great knowledge in a very interesting and interactive manner. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking at a tailored experience out of the beaten path!

A Different & Fascinating Side Of Rome - This is a fantastic experience! I had no idea what to expect with this tour. I was traveling with my 81 year old mother and 25 year old son and it was my son who found this and really wanted to go. I’m so glad we did. The park we were led through to get to the underground is beautiful and very different from the other parts of Rome I had seen (I’ve attached photos). And the caves and catacombs themselves were fascinating. Our tour guide Ricardo was so knowledgeable and entertaining. My only caution is that if you have bad knees, claustrophobia or the like beg out of the catacomb section of the experience (although that would be a shame because that part was amazing!!) I definitely recommend this to anyone interested in Roman history!

An evocative experience to travel through time - A truly fascinating and evocative place, which allows you to take a sort of journey through time in a maze of quarry tunnels. A speleoarchaeology experience within everyone's reach. To get there you then pass through the beautiful Caffarella park.

Pass.... - Our guide Joseph was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We expected to be seeing the underground Roman tunnels through the city. We did not. We saw a rock quarry and an old mushroom farm. Air quality was poor, long walk to entrance, nothing super special.

No show - It was my wife’s 40th birthday. We decided to do all of our excursions through this app which all of the other ones were perfect, except this one. We went to the waiting point, which happens to be right behind some dumpsters at a coffee shop. We waited there for about 45 minutes. No one showed up. We had a lot of phone calls back-and-forth after we had to do some heavy researching on who we talk to I highly recommend you not use this particular tour.
