Catacombs Tour

This was a lovely Tour. Driver so knowledgeable and during trip out to Catacombs he pointed out various other places of interest. Grounds around at Catacombes are stunning and guided tour through them was excellent.
Don’t do this bus tour- book directly instead
Ana_V
This tour included a bus tour of parts of the city that were not expected and unnecessary if all you want to do is visit the catacombs. You’re better off buying tickets directly at the site of the catacombs for €10, getting a taxi there and back, and not commit to a bus trip in and out of the area, which adds to the cost and time of your visit.
Amazing and worthwhile place to see in Rome
Stalena
The bus takes you to the catacombs and the lovely guide tells you about the Rome sights on the way. There you are divided into groups depending the language you speak. Visit takes about an hour in the catacombs and it is amazing to see this cemetery place of first christians. You go 40m underground by stairs. Very peaceful feeling it gives you this place.
Really disappointing
A9750KHchriss
This was not at all what we were expecting. We thought there would be an extensive guided tour of catacombs (many several sites) but this was not the case. We spent an hour on a bus receiving a guided tour of Roman sites and a short visit to one catacomb that was completely empty of artifacts. (What you see in the picture is accurate--that is all you will see. Our catacomb guide did little to engage us during the tour, leaving us all pretty bored. The unexpected highlight was the bus tour guide--his love of Rome and enthusiasm in ensuring we were enlightened and entertained by his tour was the one bright spot. But if you are looking for more than underground tunnels, then book a tour of the Capuchin Crypt instead. (We wish we had!)
Just ok
linda_g
It was just ok. The drive to/from the catacombs was very entertaining and interesting. The catacombs wasn’t what I was expecting so it was disappointing. Part of my tour turned out to be a cluster so I only did one part. Like I said, it was just ok.
