Reviews for Catacombs of Rome Small Group Tour
Tour good, but $$ and not as advertised
Cherie_T
The tour part itself is great - it’s a group tour, 20-40 people, to see the catacombs. But this ticket sale is way overpriced. The catacombs ticket at each place is €10 with a bunch of people. If you can taxi to and from yourself, you’ll save hundreds of euros. This is just paying for a driver to take you around and wait for you.
Great experience

We messaged the tour operator in the morning to verify pickup time and place. They let us know pickup was an hour later than originally scheduled, at our front door. We only visited two of the three catacombs. Our driver was great, and the two tours we did go on were wonderful. All told we were out for 3 hours, and were dropped off back at our door.
Timing issues/ not a small group but overall very interesting.

The Catacombs were amazing to see. Our driver and the tour guides were all great. The only reason this is not 5 stars is that the title is misleading. It was NOT a small group tour. The first was 26 people and very crowded, the second was about 15. Either way, not a small group.
The time was also very confusing. It was scheduled for 2 pm, at 1 pm we received a message “in 15” but we weren’t clear on what that meant. We tried to find out but communication was not clear, nor easy to reach.
Then we received a text that it was changed to 3 pm. Once we got to the first place, it was still a 45 minute wait.
With all that it probably was more like a 2-3 star, as we rearranged other obligations to be at this one. Be prepared to have a flexible time table.
Fascinating tour!

The guides were very knowledgeable and eager to answer questions. Even though all remains have been removed, the catacombs were fascinating. A great lesson in history.
A must see experience!

We learned so much about ancient Rome and the burial practices of the Christians and how the Church became involved in preserving and restoring the Catacombs. We've visited all of the major tourist attractions on past trips. This year our focus was to visit sites outside the City. This is a "must do" experience. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable.
