Patrick(Patricio) was an excellent guide, he explained history from the first minute of the tour. Very kind and giving us the right time during all tour duration. I recommend to have this tour with Patricio.

Our driver picked us up at our hotel right on time. He was very knowledgeable and supplied us with very interesting information. The catacombs are a must visit, the Appian Way is wonderful history and make sure you visit the ruins of the aqueduct. Great Excursion

Thank you for your kind review!

This "tour" consisted of a car (a nice Mercedes) and a driver who spoke almost no English. He picked us up punctually and drove us to the catacombs and the Appian way and then back to the hotel. There was no commentary at all and we never saw any aqueducts or learned about the water system as indicated in the tour description. If you just want a car and driver to go to two locations this product is fine, but if you want a guided tour or are interested in seeing the aqueducts then look elsewhere. We were disappointed in Viator this time.

Constantine was a jewel, absolutely a delight, so informative, helpful and professional. Highly recommend this tour - but ask for Constantine - wonderful. Thank you Viator

Our guide was full of historical knowledge and knew how to frame it to our interests and questions. By far one of the best tours I have taken. I would so like to take other tours with him as our guide.
Response from Host, Jul 2019
Thank you so much! I'm waiting for you again!

Our personal guide was on time, friendly and super knowledgeable. He gave good information and kindly stopped where we wanted to and even took lots of pictures for us.
Response from Host, Jul 2019
Thanks a lot!

Do on your own. Itll be much cheaper. The guide was knowledgeable. However you could hire a taxi and save. All the bones have been removed. The picture shows skeletons in the catacombs. These pictures are misleading.
Response from Host, May 2019
Dear,
thank you for you rating. We are glad so we have suggestions to offer a better product.
About costs you had private driver (waiting for 3 hours), private guide for 3 hours, sweeties, water, free wi-fi, entrance and guided tour in the catacombs. This with a taxi will cost more of less twice.
Furthermore I understand that you are disppointed 'cause there's not bones in the Catacombs and in Appian Way. I'm sorry but we are talking about a way and monuments with between 17 and 22 centuries of history. Bones was taken away. In catacombs we are not responsible for the itinerary they decide to follow. I think that they made a route without places with bones.
Thank you.

WOW!! what a great experience our guide Mirko Tatano gave us a great history of the Roman empire, he shared a lot of his knowledge making the tour very comfortable. We enjoyed walking on the Appian way and seeing the catacombs and a walking tour on one of the old city walls. I would definitely recommend Mirko Tatano.
Response from Host, May 2019
Thank you so much! I'm happy to met you!
