Reviews for Alone In Rome’s Catacombs: After-hours Tour With Bone Crypt
Amazing Guide and History
Rachel_C
Our guide, Federico, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and had tremendous energy. He was happy to help with everything from restaurant suggestions to securing a taxi. My teenage son expected to see more bones in the catacombs, but was still engaged with the tour.
Not as expected
Michle_P
Wonderful tour guide. Very sweet, funny, personable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the experience but we’re disappointed that the catacombs were completely empty. You will not see bones and skeletons in this particular catacomb even though it shows this in the advertisement. False advertising if you ask me! Also, the tour guide isn’t allowed to do the tour once you reach the catacombs since it is considered “Vatican Territory.” Once you reach the catacombs, a priest takes over the tour.
Federico is 5 stars

Federico is absolutely 5 stars! Excellent personality, knowledge & humour. Although our tour was disrupted due to events beyond his control I still thoroughly enjoyed spending my time on this tour. Highly impressed with the prompt action in rectifying the disruption from the tour.
Thank you again

This was an fun and interesting tour. Our guide, Silvia, was very enthusiastic and engaging. Additionally, the church and catacombs were fascinating even though the catacombs did not hold any bones.
