5.00This is an experience that I feel fortunate to have done. The catacombs are unbelievable, sacred, and a bit spooky. It was so amazing to actually experience so much history and to realize how extensive they were. We were fortunate to have a private tour, so no crowds and our guide was very knowledgeable!
Ernesto is great
