Reviews for Classical Rome Private Tour: Appian Way & Catacombs
Tour falls short of description.

The only memorable part of the tour was the Catacombs. The driver did not speak English. We were supposed to walk on the Appian Way and see the Roman Aquaducts. He took us to a small section of the Appian Way that was in town. He then wanted to take us to a church. When we told him that we wanted to go see the Aquaducts, he drove down the Appian Way that we were to walk on. When we got to the Aquaducts he would not stop to for us to take any pictures. I believe that we were not supposed to be driving down the Appian Way. Overall, we were disappointed with the tour.
Latin student’s dream come true.

Since studying Latin in high school (50 years ago), I have always wanted to see the Coliseum, the Pantheon, the Appian Way, and the catacombs. I was able to see it all. Our driver was very nice, very patient. And adjusted our trip in a moment’s notice.
Good tour, with very nice guide, but I thought we were also going to acqueducts

When I originally booked this tour, it was largely because I wanted to take my husband to see/drive by the Roman acqueducts...because at that time the tour title and description included that in it. But at some point that was removed, and I didn't realize it until we were on the tour and I asked the guide about it and he was surprised and said we weren't going to the acqueducts. We did really enjoy our tour guide, and I loved walking on the Appian Way and seeing the catacombs. The guide/driver was friendly and knowledgeable. It was en enjoyable tour.
The things we *did* get to visit were amazing, but...

First things first, Mauro is an *excellent* and extremely knowledgeable guide, and we would take a tour with him again anytime. The pick-up at our B&B was extremely convenient, the vehicle very comfortable, and he was a few minutes early--AND called to let me know exactly where he was parked, so that we could find him with zero trouble. The down side of it all is that we did not visit the aqueducts or San Paolo fuori le Muri, which was a special request (that I'd confirmed from the company) for my Dad's first trip to Rome. Additionally, our tour was not even three full hours, and this seems like a rather steep price for such a short tour.
On the one hand, obviously we could (and probably should) have reminded Mauro that the aqueducts and San Paolo were on the itinerary, but we were caught up in the moment and with our plans afterwards, so this is partially on us, but the full experience would have been appreciated.
Wonderful

Amazing time. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable in guiding us around Rome. He was friendly, and helpful and took the time to answer all our questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide!!
