Strangely beautiful

Such an incredibly weird thing to see. The story behind it was helpful. And it really was beautiful, but also very strange

Museum and crypt tour worth taking

The self-paced tour through the museum and crypt was very informative and well-done. It provided history and displayed the crypt in a respectful manner, leaving me with an appreciation for the friars work and traditions.

Eerie and thought provoking

Eerie and thought provoking, the crypts offer a strange and unique experience: the chance to see an artist process death through art made with human remains.

Fascinating history.

Very interesting and intriguing visit. Sound guide was excellent and well presented. The crypt was very fascinating and it was amazing to see the arrangements crafted using the various bones of the skeleton. A place not to miss that takes just an hour to experience.

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words. Visiting the crypts is certainly one of the most spectacular things to do in Rome. The Eternal City has so much to offer, and we hope to see you soon for another adventure together!

Krypt

Krypt tour was nice but the provider had forgotten to send an employee to the church, who could exchange our tickets for those to be used. You have to have what’s app, as the communication by email did not work, so I recommend the trip but not the provider.

Operator response

Thank you for your review. We're sorry you experienced any issues, but fortunately, our staff promptly resolved them. It's normal for you to receive a voucher from the platform that must be exchanged for a direct ticket, and our staff promptly provided you with your reserved access ticket. We hope to welcome you back soon for another experience!

Good exhibition but no display in French that would increase the understanding of the objects presented

Complete rip off!

This was a complete rip off. You charged me $101 . For something that should have cost $30! someone from your company just met us at the door and that was it! You made $70 for 1 minute of time. You should be ashamed of yourselves. That was robbery.
