Not What Was Advertised

Lynn_A, Jul 2019

This tour was advertised as a Catacombs Walking Tour that would take us through Catacombe di San Callisto, San Sebastiano, and Circus of Maxentius. We only stopped by the Catacombe di Sebastiano then drove to two other sites, to see Aqua Claudia and Via Appia. Although the aqueduct and Appian Way were cool to see, it's not what we signed up for and I'm curious as to how our admission fees for the other catacombs were spent.
