3.00The tour was ok, nut the organization was lacking. We were told to meet in front of the fountain, and 10 minutes to the hour, no guide. I texted and did get a response that they were on the other side of the plaza. The flag used to designate the meeting point was way too small!! The tour was rushed!! Information was good.

4.00The experience wasn't what I was expecting. The first place is a museum where the tour guide isn't permitted to talk so we had to listen to an audio guide. I am not a fan of audio guides so I lost the experience. From the first place to the crypts the tour guide was very informative about the city. When we arrived at the crypts, the tour guide was unable to go into the crypts with us and we had someone from the crypts guide us. The pictures on the website lead you to assume there are bones in the crypts, which there are none, it's a maze of empty holes. While interesting it is misleading. We would have liked if our tour guide could have taken us through both places since she was very informative. I feel like you just pay for admittance. Could have done this tour on our own.

4.00It is disturbing for people who don’t regularly work with dead bodies. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

5.00This tour was different and interesting. Monica our tour guide was informative and answered any questions we had. The tour is divided in two. The monastary and the cemetary. The art work made out of bones while uncommon once you understand why you get it’s significance. You are later driven to the cemetary where you will see where the romans were buried under many feet under ground.
