5.00I had an incredible time with Sarah! The catacombs tour is run by the church, however after it finished Sarah and I rode along the Appian way discussing Roman history and even made our way to the Ardeatine Massacre Memorial which is not a far distance from the Appian way. Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable, very personable and accommodating. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who is looking to explore the catacombs and Appian way with an added touch of history/discussion with a great guide. Thank you Sarah!!
Catacombs were ok but Sarah and the Appian Way were GREAT!

5.00Sarah’s depth of knowledge about the Appian Way and the history around it made this an amazing tour! I was worried because I was the only person, and often that causes tours to get canceled, but she was more than happy to take me along, tell me stories, answer questions, and even figure out which bus to take to another spot she recommended!
