This tour with Walks covering the Catacombs, Appian Way, and Colosseum was an absolute highlight of my time in Rome. Our guide, Sev, was outstanding — probably one of the best guides I’ve ever had. His deep knowledge of Roman history, combined with his humor and genuine care for the group, made the entire experience engaging from start to finish. He didn’t just explain the sites; he brought them to life in a way that felt personal, accessible, and memorable. The itinerary itself is brilliantly designed. It takes you to places you might normally skip, but that turn out to be incredibly rich in history and atmosphere. The Catacombs and the Appian Way, in particular, offer a side of Rome that many visitors miss, yet they’re essential for truly understanding the city’s layers of history. Ending the day at the Colosseum was the perfect finale — arriving later in the day meant fewer crowds and a more relaxed, almost cinematic experience of such an iconic landmark. Overall, this tour offers a 360-degree understanding of Roman history, and with Sev as a guide, it becomes something truly exceptional.
