A fantastic experience, the guide was very involved and very knowledgeable, not only of the place, but of the context in general. And Alexandro, the driver, not to say, "explendido", also with a lot of knowledge and in addition to creating a cheerful and fun atmosphere, to the point of wanting to repeat the journey.

Excellent visit! Very good information from the guides and the design of the audio guide is also good. The visit is made in the context of a historical context and also in the context of a vision of religiosity and respect.

    Once we got to the catacombs, the priest who took us down was great. Very knowledgeable & very interesting. However the driver who took us there was very unfriendly, ignored questions & basically dropped us off, handed us our tickets & left. Another tour's guide showed us where we needed to go next & what to do. Never spoke to anyone, took us back to pickup site & opened door for us to exit.
