Excellent visit to Roman catacombs. The whole experience was first class and I would highly recommend it. As well as the catacombs, we visited several interesting sights along the via Appia. Our guide, Federico, was great. He was very knowledgeable, very friendly and a great driver. The golf cart was an ideal way to see parts of Rome beyond the city centre.

This was an excellent tour and worth the money. You got to tour part of the city as well as the catacombs. The tour guide was excellent. He was very informative and knowledgeable and very friendly and personable. The catacombs tour was excellent, and the guides did an excellent job. Would recommend this tour to anyone..

Amazing experience! Margarita, our guide, was absolutely amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history, and delivered it in a fun and interesting way! 10/10 would recommend. You get to see the sights without all of the laborious trekking to each location. We did a tour with the same company earlier in the day and we liked it so much that we booked this tour to the catacombs!

Terrific!

Geoff_B, Jun 2026
This is a great way to get out of the crowds and see another side of the eternal city. Our guide (Nick) was terrific, very knowledgeable and friendly and adapted the itinerary to our specific interests while still showing us everything that was planned... even dropped us off close to our hotel to save the walk back. Don't miss the Quo Vadis Church!

Good way of seeing the sights

Peter_L, Jun 2026
This tour is a very good way of seeing a lot of sights in a short time, with good information provided by the guide en route.

Richard_F, Jun 2026
catacombs are narrow and have many stairs, hence you need to be fairly agile. golf carts offer good views of Roma and its sites as you drive around

Fantastic tour guide

melissa_p, Jun 2026
The tour was well organised and our guide, Frederico (sorry if that’s spelt wrong) was absolutely brilliant! He really brought the tour alive with his knowledge of the places we visited and little extra bits of info too. He was really attentive and kept checking that we could hear through the ear piece and if we had any questions. The tour itself was so interesting, especially the visit to St Sebastian catacomb. I would definitely recommend this tour and will be booking further tours with this operator again on our next visit to Rome! I can also highly recommend Frederico as a fantastic tour guide. Thanks so much, I learnt a lot!!

It was a lot of fun and a nice break from walking on our last day. The guide was very animated and provided a good experience.

Once in a Lifetime Experience

Ron_B, May 2026
Wonderful. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient. Very interesting. A lot of time to take pictures. Never rushed. Catacombs were moving and much larger than I expected. My entire family, from my youngest grandson, 7, to me (68), had a wonderful time.

A Great Experience

Casey_R, May 2026
After a couple of days of walking around Rome, it was nice to get off our feet and tour parts of the city we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. The guides were very informative and kept everything entertaining. While we were concerned about the traffic in Rome and how the golf carts would maneuver within it, it was nice to see that there were many other similar golf cart tours. The drivers were very careful with us and stayed out of the main flow of traffic when possible. The catacombs tour was really interesting, but the tour guide that belonged to the church was a little dry. I wish our tour guide ran that portion of it. We were able to hop off before the end of the tour, which was closer to our Airbnb.

Very knowledgeable and...

Amanda_D, May 2026
Very knowledgeable and funny guide! We really enjoyed the tour and learned some things along the way that changed our perspective. Nice to get outside of the city for a bit as well. Great tour!

Guide was great, took time to explain everything, share her knowledge of the city and everything along the way.definitely recommend great communication with Viator!

Golf cart tour was fun!

Shanna_C, May 2026
This was a great tour! We booked last minute. We were tired and our feet were hurting by the end of our week in Rome. This was a nice way to see different parts of the city. Nick was our guide. He was phenomenal. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour! There is so much to see in Rome, seeing by golf cart was fun and actually relaxing amount the hustle of the crowds. We enjoyed getting out of the city center and seeing the catacombs. The tour was well organized and easy to find. Meeting point was close to the metro which was convenient.

A good tour

Wyndham_W, May 2026
A fairly quick tour but covered a lot of different information and we visited a large number of sites. The terminator also assisted me when appropriate and that really made it a much more enjoyable

Make sure just 1 cart, 1 tour guide!!

Nannette_M, May 2026
We traveled in golf carts , 2 carts 1 driver in 1 cart the other cart was with tour guide…. So due to traffic when we would get separated from cart # 1 we couldn’t hear tour guide….😩 very frustrating..other than that very interesting subject!! Love the history… great tour guide!!

Great trip this morning....

tgungaloo, May 2026
Great trip this morning. Aurelio was a fantastic guide, knowledgable and friendly. The history is amazing.

Roman catacombs

sandra_m, May 2026
So glad we took this trip. I had no idea what to expect that it was very educational and informative.

Best Tour We Had Anywhere

Robert_H, May 2026
By far the very best tour we have ever done. Our guide Nick, who is originally from the States, was both academically and culturally at a college professor level. And there is absolutely. o better way to get around Rome and up through the Apian Way than by golf cart. The tour of the Catacombs was handed of to an Archeologist who was also well schooled in the subject. Setting up and the meeting place was also handled professional y. Absolutely worth every Euro spent and was happy to add a tip.

Great tour

Lacey_S, May 2026
This was a fabulous tour! Our guide was excellent and helped me view things from the past through Roman eyes! He answered all my questions, even questions about Roman things outside our tour! Highly recommend!

Fantastic tour

marcie_l, May 2026
Our guide was very personable and very very knowledable . You could tell that the history of the area is a passion for him. There is a separate guide for the Catacimbs and she was also fantastic . Had a Doctorate degree in history . Really great tour

Fantastic tour with Aurelio!

Emily_R, May 2026
Fantastic tour! The Appian Way, Colosseum, Aurelian Walls, and Circus Maximus were highlights for us. Having heard about the oldest Roman road in throughout school getting to walk on it and see it firsthand was incredible. Aurelio was our guide and he answered all our questions while providing us with information about Rome. This tour was such an enjoyable way to see the city and dive deeper into its history. Aurelio was top-notch and the afternoon tour we took with him exceeded our expectations. He expertly navigated us through the city on the electric golf cart and we were able to relax and just take it all in. Highly recommend this tour and Aurelio! Would absolutely book another tour with him. This tour gave us a nice overview of the more popular historical sites in Rome while also encompassing the catacombs and the Santa Maria in Palmis church with lots of beautiful nature along the way. The tour was exactly what we wanted to kickoff our trip to Rome.

Good experience, great...

gina_h, May 2026
Good experience, great guides! Only thing to improve was the radios for communication. Very scratchy sometimes. I would definitely book thi tour to see the catacombs, and Va Apipia as well as the normal sites. 5 stars

Great tour

Carol_M, May 2026
Nick the tour guide was awesome! He made us feel very welcome, and was so knowledgeable about the history of what we experienced. He appeared as though he really enjoys what he does. I really like going on the golf cart but did lose some reception when we were all the way in the back of both carts. It might be best to keep it to one golf cart, or improve the reception. Appreciated rotating seats with other tourists during the 3 hour tour and with Nick changing carts. Also appreciated receiving a bottle of water at the beginning of the tour.

Do not miss!

Ali_G, May 2026
Outstanding experience! Had no idea we would see so much. The guide was exceptional, he told the story of the history we were seeing, made it come to life in a very meaningful way. The golf carts were very clean and modern. Safe with seat belts and accommodating with sealed bottled water. Absolutely worth doing this tour! Do not miss it if in Rome.

Fun and Easy Tour!

Tyler_J, May 2026
The tour was great! My tour guide really was the most fun part of the tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable but also made it SUPER fun! I highly recommend this tour!

Interesting tour

Mandy_A, May 2026
Our guide Antonella was friendly and knowledgeable about key Roman sites. She was enthusiastic about sharing the history of Rome, the aqueducts and catacombs.

Merle’s the Guide

Richard_L, May 2026
Merle was our guide today. Absolutely great choice! She’s very knowledgeable about Rome both yesterday and today. Made the trip totally awesome.
