Eternal city with amazing history

Nick_A, Oct 2023

Great tour of Catacombs and some places on the way especially liked church of St Sabina which dates to 522CE and the Appian Way. Giorgio was friendly and well informed. Only problem was a mix up with timing caused by the company.

Informative and Professional

The first and second floors were only opened to the public for the cattacombs. There were 2 guides. One for the cattacombs and another who drove us to the cattacombs and the Appain way, then back to our hotel. Our local tour guide was very knowledgeable in articulating the history of the cattacombs. Our driver, Constantin was very professional and patient with answering our questions and providing us with the rich history of the city and structures that we passed along the way. I highly recommend their services.
