Our guided tour was very informative and provided an exceptional experience. We learned the history of Rome in addition to how and why the catacombs became. The incredible history of this period is amazing.

So interesting - and brilliantly guided. Entertaining anecdotes by someone hugely knowledgeable. An intriguing place. Also wonderful to be in 16 degree cels when it was so hot outside…

It was an amazing tour. Divan was our tour guide and he was fantastic. I was concerned it would be spooky and slightly worried about claustrophobia but there were zero issues. It was so fascinating and Divan was an awesome guide. He is so knowledgeable and passionate I learned so much. This tour ended up being a highlight of our trip. My son (12 years old) and I loved it. I highly recommend it. Super easy cab from the city center. And on top of how interesting the history and the build of the catacombs and the art fresco… the temperature is so much cooler under ground it was such a nice break from the summer heat. Can’t recommend enough, in fact I’d go back again.

Tour was outstanding - very interesting. Divan was an exceptional guide, very knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. We only had 4 in our group so it was easy to navigate and get a good view of everything. Highly recommend this tour and the guide Divan - 100% satisfied!!

We had a great experience with Heather. Very informative and lots of fun. The historical tidbits were fascinating, and experience of seeing and touch a chi rho symbol etched into a rock far underground in the first centuries of the church was unforgettable.

Divan was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. It was the highlight of our time in Rome! I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go a bit deeper (literally and figuratively) into Ancient Rome.
