Reviews for Catacombs and Appian way Tour
Appian Way
France_R
Cathia was a great tour guide! We especially loved to see the original Appian way and the Aqueducs. The catacombs were also interesting.
Loved the catacombs and the aquaducts!

This tour was great, and Catia was an awesome guide! The meeting location was clearly defined and easy to locate. We really enjoyed the catacombs and getting out of the busy city to see the Appian Way. We had quite a large group, and Catia had assistants to help her keep everyone together. The only part that was not perfect was that there were too many people for one vehicle so we were divided into two vehicles. Catia was in the other vehicle. She continued to provide information during the ride from place to place, but the sound quality was not good in the vehicle she was not riding in. Consequently, we missed some information. The reason I chose this tour was that it included a visit to the aquaducts. I'm so glad we got to see that - I don't think most other tours go in that far. That was a really beautiful area. I'm also glad we did not choose an Ebike tour. We saw many bikers, and it looked absolutely frightening to me. I would only do that if you're a skilled biker. There are many, many tourists to maneuver around, uneven cobblestone streets, and crazy drivers. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great experience

Just amazing experience. The guide was great and I loved walking the Appian Way. It was a great tour. The catacombs are sobering. The separate group for the catacombs was a bit too big.
The guide was terrific....

The guide was terrific. It was wonderful to stand on the cobblestones where the apostle Paul had walked through.
Small group tour - and not rushed!

Wonderful experience. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly and the small group was perfect, ours was a total of 5. The catacombs are very interesting to see, note photos and videos are forbidden. The Appian Way and viaduct were both excellent, I’m so glad I booked this tour!
