This 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.

Horrible experience with Viator. We booked a tour for today (reference 1278052797). We showed up 15 minuets early as requested. The tour operator did not show up and did not respond to email, text or phone calls. We submitted a refund request and Viator declined it. We will not use Viator in the future and strongly advise others to not book this tour.
Awesome!

We had a fantastic tour. Mike was great. He kept making Dad jokes and has a California accent, but he was the funniest guy we could possibly have had. I loved all the facts, but I also love that he showed us the map later of where we were underground when we were above ground. Highly recommend. If you’re claustrophobic, don’t do it but otherwise it’s super fun and really Educational.

Amazing tour. Mike was very knowledgable and mixed humor with history. I would definitely recommend Mike for any tour. If possible we will definitely request him for other tours as well. You can’t go wrong with him. Thank you very much.
John is the best

John was our guide! He was really knowledgeable and has a great silly personality that makes the tour really come to life. We started off the first 30 minutes with history of the catacombs. Then we went into the catacomb on the second floor. I would recommend this tour, just note it is only one catacomb and did not hop around to others.
