Leo was an amazingly knowledgeable tour guide who lead us through the history of the catacombs. The tour took us through special access places that are only viewed by tour groups which was well worth it. The tour was very informative and we loved every minute of it. Thanks to Leo for a wonderful experience. Highly recommend
