Don't take this tour as it is not a great value of your money.
Maurine_C
, Jul 2022
I don't recommend this tour as it is not worth the money. I was expecting to visit at least 2 catacomb site, but unfortunately this tour will just make you visit 1 catacomb site (San Callisto) and the tour guide was from San Callisto itself. This tour will just make you pay for the ride that you will have to San Callisto, that's it! Another thing is that the staff in the touristation wasn't very nice and friendly. They didn't even entertain us in a friendly manner as if I was asking them a favor. Kudos to our driver to the catacombs who was nice and friendly. Don't take this tour. I suggest you book a taxi to San Callisto and pay a tour ticket to San Callisto itself. They have different tour available every hour and in different languages. This will save you money, otherwise just look for a tour that includes visit to 3 catacombs places I think that's a good value of your money.

Transportation was great and limited to 8 travelers so not crowded. Driver was polished and Mercedes van very comfortable. Ticket also included to Catecombs. A little less than an hour tour with outstanding guide!

Don was amazing! His passion for the subject matter and the way he wove factual info into stories about icons of the past was very impressive. My whole family (including five teenagers) were captivated by his narrative. This has been the highlight of our Italy trip!

Not worth it guys
Marianne_O
, Mar 2022
The catacomb itself is really cool but this tour is DEFINITELY not worth the price. You only get to see very little of the catacomb (most rooms are roped off) so it's easy to navigate on your own. Save your money. We paid extra the option which includes the "Piazza Navona underground" - it turns out that all you get is the entrance ticket, there will be no guide joining you there.. also, you'll have to walk there on your own (the transport that takes you to the catacomb does not take you there afterwards) so there's really no point in doing it with through agency at all.. Definitely go see these sights on your own, doing it through this agency doesn't add anything to the experience..

Rachel_D

We had such a wonderful time on our tour! We started at the Touristation where we checked in and watched a 20 minute video about Rome, which we really enjoyed. The women at the check in were also extremely nice! We then hopped in a very nice van (leather seats) with 4 other people and took a 15-20 minute drive to the catacombs. We then had a wonderful tour guide who was extremely insightful and we had a great experience. We were then picked up and dropped back off at our meeting point. From start to finish, this takes about 2 hours. We highly recommend it!

The tour started almost an hour after we showed up at the Touristation. The guide was OK, but the group was too big for the space needed to provide an insightful experience. The tour was way too short for the cost. I would not recommend this tour.

Not worth your money
Emily_M
, Oct 2021
It would be cheaper and save some time to just get a taxi to the catacombs. They basically just gave us a ride to the catacombs and provided us a ticket, which we could have purchased onsite. We had people in our car that spoke multiple languages so we had to wait until all the tours were done prior to leaving. We also paid extra to also visit the Trevi underground. We assumed we would get the tours all at once and didn't realize that we still had to schedule the Trevi underground when we got there. We were scheduled to see the catacombs at 10:00 and the Trevi underground at 3:00 pm with no transportation to the Trevi underground. What we were told would be a few hours ended up being an all day excursion. We ended up just skipping the Trevi underground. The catacombs itself was amazing and I would highly recommend going just save yourself some time and money and buy a taxi.

Be careful. They don’t tell you it is split into two parts!!
David_L

Be careful when booking. We booked a combination tour with the Catacombs and Trevi fountain. We were NOT told it would be split into two parts, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. We were not available in the pm and we’re leaving the next day. We asked for a partial refund and we’re denied. Very poor business.

Dear Customer, good evening First of all thank for your review because feedback always help us to improve the service. We called you the day before to make reservation for trevi underground and you ignored our call. We sent you an email to riserve trevi again but no answer. The day of the catacombs tour we agreed to book the other experience according to your stay in rome but you did not report at the counter. As per last mail, you accepted a voucher that you will be able to use anytime. Thank you for your mail and we hope to see you soon. Regards
