Not what we planned, but nice all considered

Edwina_R, Aug 2023

So, not actually sure how to rate this one. This was a shared tour to see the catacombs in Rome. We were looking for something different and something that would be cooler, given the high heat this summer. Our driver was great, the issue was the actual tour. When we got to the first set of catacombs, the location was closed. It is always closed on Wednesdays, something I would think the tour operator would know. If I was doing this on my own, I would have researched this. We were able to visit the second catacombs, but had to wait at the site for over an hour because the timings were off. After the second, location (St Sebastian's which was great) we still had two+ hours before we could link up with the other folks on our shared trip to Rome. The driver went out of his way to keep us busy and took us to see the Colosseum, the forums, Trevei Fountain and a lovely church. He went above and beyond, it was just not the trip we planned (especially walking around Rome in the heat). My main gripe is the tour operator should have know what days attractions are open and contacted us to plan alternatives.
