This is a great tour because it gives you three different experiences of the crypts of Rome. The transfers between the sites was perfect as you also get to see the Appian Way and Aurelian Walls

A very good guide—polite and attentive. However, we had to share a bus for an unscheduled tour—no big deal. I do think it’s important for guides to be especially respectful when talking about the Church and to exercise caution when making judgments—for example, about which basilica in Rome is the most important. Both of them were, but I want to emphasize how important it is to be scrupulously respectful.

Everything went very well—no line at the entrance, and quick access with an audio guide and earbuds. I got to explore the museum, which I hadn’t known about before because, prior to 2010, visitors entered directly into the crypt.

Heather was incredible! She shared so much knowledge in a humorous, memorable way. The visit to the church at the conclusion of the tour was an unexpected highlight. A must do.

This tour was absolutely amazing and was so informative! Our tour guide Sabina was knowledgeable on all the history and even gave us a great place to stop and eat after the tour! The bus transfers were easy to navigate and was nice after walking in the hot sun! Overall, I would most definitely suggest this tour! The Capuchin crypt is a most see attraction!
