This was an insane amount of fun! Zipping along on the back of a golf cart while getting a brief history lesson as we left the city of Rome, was one of the highlights of our trip. The museum offered a wealth of treasures and the views were worth the climb to the top. The catacombs themselves are a solemn and beautiful experience - one that we will not forget.
We thought the tour was excellent. Enjoyed the “open-air” of the golf cart. Kelly was knowledgeable and took care to see that we had a good time. Would recommend both the tour and the tour guide.
This tour was over-priced and not as advertised. First of all, the golf cart looked run down with flaps that were falling down. The tour included 2 free attractions (which did have on site guides) and the San Caliisto Catacombs. We were excited to tour San Callisto Catacombs which are supposed to be excellent. San Callisto Catacombs are closed on Wednesdays--the day we booked--but the tour operators had no idea until we arrived at the site. They then scrambled to take us to another site which was also closed until after Christmas. We finally arrived at a third site, about 40 minutes before it closed, which we were able to tour. The admission price for the Catacombs, including the onsite guide was !0 euros, so we paid over 177 euros/person to drive around in a cart for 3 hours and go to 3 attractions, 2 of which were free. I do not recommend this company or tour.
it is clearly indicated on the ticket that on the days when San Callisto is closed, you can visit either the catacombs of San Sebastiano or Domitilla the tour you booked includes a visit to the catacombs of the ancient Appian Way, in low season the catacombs are closed for maintenance, there is absolutely no difference between the different sites as they are also connected and close to each other, instead of complaining you should be happy that we still managed to let you visit the catacombs. the catacombs of San Sebastiano and Santa Domitilla are of equal historical and Christian value,as for the price you paid the same rate as a golf cart tour of the historic center and an additional 10 euros for the visit to the catacombs.
We had an absolutely wonderful time. Marco was our driver. He went above and beyond showing us all the pre-designated sites as well as additional sites we requested. He even stopped while we had pizza during the tour time. I would highly recommend this golf cart tour. You are capable of seeing many sites with a lot less walking.
Our tour guide was beyond excellent! He was very prompt in meeting us on time and gave us an excellent tour and explanation of everything beyond what we had expected! He was very courteous and friendly! It was so exciting to be in Rome and tour by golf cart! We highly recommend this tour and our guide!
This was an amazing tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Rome area and very knowledgeable about the church’s history in Rome. We never knew that the catacombs were that extensive. Over 200,000 graves underground. Only 1% are available to walk through.
This tour stops at places not easy to access without a car, like the museum of the wall and tha mausoleum of Cecilia. It didn't require a lot of walking either. The driver was very professional and knew a lot about the places we stopped, and also things we passed along the way.
This was a very good tour, which visits lots of sites not often included elsewhere. The driver stopped to show us interesting spots along the way, and was professional and well informed about the history of these locations.
A fantastic outing with a wonderful, kind, informed guide who owns his business and went out of the way to show us special things that were honestly more of a highlight than the catacombs. Had we had this guide earlier in our trip, I definitely would have booked some of his other tours!
This was the best tour of our entire 6 day visit to Rome! Andrea was a fabulous tour guide! His extensive knowledge of Roman history & art made the city & the Appian Way come alive. We saw & learned so much in 3 hours. We visited the Catacombs of Callixtus, the Tomb of Romulus, Circus Maxentius, & the Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella. Andrea even took us to the beautiful hidden Grotto of Egeria. The golf car was comfortable, & the pick up & drop off were perfect. My husband & I truly thank this company & especially Andrea for sharing his knowledge & passion with us. We will remember it always. If you’re interested in Ancient Rome, don’t hesitate to book this tour!
