5.00This was far better than the huge groups we saw entering who could barely hear or see their guide. Divan was so kind and knowledgeable about the history and made this a great experience. He also helped us find alternate activities based on our interests since our other plans for the rest of the week had to change.
Amazing Experience

5.00This was an amazing tour and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about Rome’s rich history! Our tour guide, Peter, was excellent! Not only did he make the tour entertaining, but he also was extremely knowledgeable. The catacombs are so fascinating to get to see up close and is something you should definitely consider doing during your next visit! Plus if you’re going in the summer it’s nice and cool down there, making the tour even more comfortable.
