Brando is the best Catacombs guide - This was our second tour with Brando and he greeted us with such enthusiasm. We were excited to see the Catacombs and Brando’s deep knowledge and passion for history really made the tour extraordinary. Brando is fun, joyful, super smart, and just a really fun guy to spend time with. We will book all our tours in Rome with him in the future.

Underground wonders, and history brought to life by Andy! - I thought this tour was going to be just walking around through cool tunnels. Well, it was that but also much more thanks to Andy. He was our guide a few days before on the Rome food tour (excellent, see my review), but this tour showed that straight history is Andy’s forte. Not the boring history of dry facts of what you’re shown, but stories describing those who built them, what their motives may have been, and the context of it all in the progress of Rome literally over millennia. Not pretentious (as I know it sounds), but a truly personal and enlightening experience with a guide who loves history and it shows!

Underground Adventure - Our guide Andy was excellent. He weaved a fascinating historical narrative with insights into archaeology, architecture, religion and culture. There were laughs along the way and myth-busting. At the end of the tour Andy took the time to offer local tips on where to eat depending on your budget and what you want to taste.
