Rome: Small Group Underground Catacombs Tour

It was an incredible experience to see a part of the catacombs. The work put into these underground tombs thousands of years ago is mind boggling. Mike was a wonderful host with a great sense of humor. Highly recommend!

Once you’ve done all the must see tours and attractions (the colosseum, Roman forum, Pantheon, Trevi fountain, etc,) you MUST put this one on your list! This is two hours well spent. We learned a great deal about Ancient Rome including how several traditions came to be. The catacomb tour was incredibly informative and Angela (our tour guide) is one of the most knowledgeable on the subject of ancient Roman history I’ve ever known. My wife just can’t stop saying how much she enjoyed this adventure (and neither can I!)

What a great tour. Angela absolutely knew her stuff and it was amazing to see the things we saw on the tour. Highly recommend

Angela was a fantastic guide around the catacombs. We learnt so much about the history of Christianity and the catacombs. She busted more than a few myths and had just the right number of jokes!

Devon was our guide and he was amazing. His knowledge of history and the catacombs was beyond fascinating. He was excited and shared the love of his job with our small group. Highly recommend this experience.

This was an awesome tour. Heather is fun (love the dad jokes!), engaging, and full of knowledge. We could tell she really enjoys doing this. It worked perfectly to be able to get out of the summer heat too!

Mike was the Best!
Nice and very knowledgeable
He made everyone feel very, very comfortable
He knew all of our names and was using our names the entire tour. He gave us a good history of the city of Rome and the catacombs. He is very, very good and the catacombs was great.

This tour was our favorite out of a week in Rome, our guide was very knowledgeable and informative in our time in the catacombs. I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody looking for an unforgettable experience in the catacombs!

Very knowledgeable guide, detailed information. My family thought it was a little too long. I enjoyed all of the information about the catacombs.

Very interesting and informative on history of Rome over the centuries and how the catacombs played into the picture. Guide was excellent!!!

Mike was a fantastic guide. He was extremely entertaining and informative! The tour was one of the best we had during the visit to Rome.

The young man originally from South Africa was an amazing guide! He did such a great job of explaining history and guiding us through the tour. It was really great!

This was the best tour from the trip my friends and I took. We had Divan as our guide and he is so passionate about history, that the passion was contagious!! He is such a great story teller, that you have no issue transporting yourself to that time period. He really is as the best tour guide we had on our 2 week Italy vacation!

I’m glad we had the chance to visit the catacombs because we got to see and learn about a lot of history.

Excellent experience. Angela was incredibly knowledgeable but also great fun. It was incredible to travel so far under the city.

Good Tour guide with good knowledge. Was interesting especially with the Christian Connection. You don't see bones as in the french catacombs.

Heather was great and very knowledgeable.

Amazing experience for all.

Catacombs were a historical lesson.

Very informative tour hosted by the brilliant Jonathan. He really knew his stuff and took plenty of time to explain things and answer any/all questions. Lots of really interesting information and the perfect combination of walking/talking without overloading us with a tonne of facts and information. Done lots of tours lately where the information and talking was way too heavy, and we’d be stood round for 15/20 minutes in the same space being talked at, but Jonathan kept it very light and interesting and moving about, making sure we saw everything we possibly could.

If you want to see bones (like we kinda did), we don’t recommend the Domitilla Caracombs. But definitely do reach out to these guys as Jonathan was able to recommend plenty of alternatives that sounded perfect for what we had in mind. Unfortunately we ran out of days here, but worth a chat for those who are booking before they come!

The only negative I’d say is that we felt it was a little over priced. At almost £90 for 2 people it seemed quite steep. This did include the entry fee which was €10 each, so €20, but still felt as though for the amount of people that was in the group, €70 was a little much for the tour (nothing to do with Jonathan, again, he was without fault!)

Would recommend still, it’s a must do whilst in Rome!
