This was the best tour from the trip my friends and I took. We had Divan as our guide and he is so passionate about history, that the passion was contagious!! He is such a great story teller, that you have no issue transporting yourself to that time period. He really is as the best tour guide we had on our 2 week Italy vacation!
I’m glad we had the chance to visit the catacombs because we got to see and learn about a lot of history.
Great experuence

Good Tour guide with good knowledge. Was interesting especially with the Christian Connection. You don't see bones as in the french catacombs.
Way cool!

Heather was great and very knowledgeable.
Amazing experience for all.
Catacombs were a historical lesson.
Very interesting tour, just a little over priced.

Very informative tour hosted by the brilliant Jonathan. He really knew his stuff and took plenty of time to explain things and answer any/all questions. Lots of really interesting information and the perfect combination of walking/talking without overloading us with a tonne of facts and information. Done lots of tours lately where the information and talking was way too heavy, and we’d be stood round for 15/20 minutes in the same space being talked at, but Jonathan kept it very light and interesting and moving about, making sure we saw everything we possibly could.
If you want to see bones (like we kinda did), we don’t recommend the Domitilla Caracombs. But definitely do reach out to these guys as Jonathan was able to recommend plenty of alternatives that sounded perfect for what we had in mind. Unfortunately we ran out of days here, but worth a chat for those who are booking before they come!
The only negative I’d say is that we felt it was a little over priced. At almost £90 for 2 people it seemed quite steep. This did include the entry fee which was €10 each, so €20, but still felt as though for the amount of people that was in the group, €70 was a little much for the tour (nothing to do with Jonathan, again, he was without fault!)
Would recommend still, it’s a must do whilst in Rome!
