Anazing lots of info. Great with children! Learned so much and he had a great respect for the dead and taking care of the property
Thank you! We are grateful to hear that you have enjoyed our Roman Catacombs guided tour!
This is an experience that I feel fortunate to have done. The catacombs are unbelievable, sacred, and a bit spooky. It was so amazing to actually experience so much history and to realize how extensive they were. We were fortunate to have a private tour, so no crowds and our guide was very knowledgeable!
Excellent! He walked slow and spoke slowly to allow us to understand him. Tour was great. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!
