Great tour. It’s not like the catacombs you may be thinking of with bones and skulls, it’s more that there are marble crypts underground. The tour starts in the cemetery and ends in the crypts. It’s a very interesting history lesson with a great guide. I forgot his name - maybe Matt? He was very interesting and we were very engaged. Definitely worth going.
