Fantastic tour - and a great treat "off the beaten path"

Coco_M, May 2026

From beginning to end, we were impressed with the stories about the ancient life found underground. Justin clearly has extensive study of Rome and her history. It was an absolute pleasure to share the morning with him. (and get away from the crowds!)

A great Look Beneath the Surface

Catherine_C, Sep 2025

What an informative tour - fascinating history that really expanded my understanding. Justin was very knowledgeable and open to any questions. As a bonus it was a little cooler underground.
