The catacomb was very interesting . The tour was not what I expected. There was a rather long walk to the bus. The bus had no tour guide, only the driver. Our group was put i with other independent tourist so the group was much too large. I would estimate over 30 people. That is way too many people for one tour guide in a catacomb! The drop off was changed. I would recommend people take a taxi to save time and money.
