Reviews for Underground Rome Catacombs Tour
Family fun

All of it was great but our best was the fresco of St Paul and St Peter. Vivan was a great guide and knew so much history about Rome. Very knowledgeable!
Catacombs tour - so interesting!

Such an interesting catacombs tour, even better than expected. Divan was a really personable and knowledgeable host. It was a small group and you felt as though we were delving up close into such an interesting part of history. Would highly recommend.
Not worth the money….

First off, our tour guide Heather was fantastic. She was very bubbly, fun & knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the tour was mediocre. If you’re expecting bones…don’t do this tour. The photo is misleading & there are literally no bodies or bones in these catacombs. Far outside Rome & would not do again or recommend.
Canceled catacombs, no information, no update

Nothing was memorable except the euro32 taxi ride to the catacombs meeting site to discover it was closed. Other taxis arrived also. The tour operators stated they called me. They did not, no calls. In fact the day before I received a message to confirm the meeting time and place. Got to be joking you didn’t know catacombs would be closed Easter ahead of time. I called Viator asked for discount on next tour because I wasted money and time. Very disappointing.
Frescoes make it worth it

Mike is a great story teller and he knows his history. I attended this tour with my 2 teenage boys, both of whom were engaged and intellectually challenged. The highlight of this tour is being within reaching distance from some of the earliest known Christian frescoes depicting Peter and Jesus Christ. It was yet another testimony of the reality of His divinity.
