Devan was an outstanding guide! He was super knowledgeable and shared the history with excitement. He brought his passion to the history and the people that surround the catacombs, Catholicism, and the Roman Empire.

Mike was a fabulous tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Gave a wonderful "presentation" before going into the catacombs. The historic backstory really brought the tour to life. He went above & beyond in this tour. He was funny, tastefully sarcastic & really just a blast to be around. Mike is your man for this tour, you won't be sorry!
