Temperature below ground is a comfortable 18 degrees, no jacket necessary. We had limited time so the express tour was ideal. Our guide Mario was excellent, very knowledgeable and good sense of humour

The tour of the catacombs was so informative and the duration was perfect for us. Mario our guide was exceptional and I feel I have a better understanding of early Christianity and Paganism.
