This tour was the highlight of my family's trip to Rome. Sam is an excellent tour guide and the catacombs portion was remarkable. This tour is split in 2, with the first portion being a tour of the monastery, followed by a bus ride to the catacombs. The monastery portion is an audio guide but the art is stunning. The catacombs portion was a live tour guide which was much better. During the bus ride, Sam gave us very interesting historical and cultural information. The tour guide for the catacombs portion did a good job tying early-Christian artistic motifs to Rome's pagan history, which I found fascinating. Going at night was great too, since there weren't many people at all in either location.
We all loved this tour....

I was very excited to visit the catacombs and despite reading the description, it was not what I expected. There were no bones in the catacombs but there were displays of bones in the museum. Information was interesting but wasn't the tour I expected.

There was a clear lack of communication between Viator and the tour operator. When I arrived and attempted to check in, I was told I was not scheduled for that day and would not be able to join. Despite showing my dated ticket with a barcode in the Viator app, the tour staff were initially dismissive and unhelpful. Only after a tense exchange did they allow us to join, stating they "had extra tickets after all." This was frustrating and unprofessional—why should I have to argue to access a tour I had already paid for? Additionally, Viator did not indicate any dress code requirements. Yet, I was scolded by the guides for having my shoulders exposed and accused of not reading the instructions. I double-checked—nowhere in the materials was this mentioned. Lastly, the tone and content of the Catacombs of Priscilla tour were not what I expected. It was led by a nun and focused heavily on religious instruction, with repeated messages about modesty and chastity. I had booked the tour expecting an eerie, historical exploration of catacombs and burial sites. Instead, I was subjected to what felt like a moral lecture. This experience was not aligned with the description or expectations set by Viator and left me feeling misled and uncomfortable.
