Excellent Experience, Highly Recommend! - Charlie was an amazing guide for our tour of the Catacombs. She offered an in-depth history and painted a visual picture for us that really enhanced our tour experience. We would 100% recommend this tour and specifically Charlie as your guide. The only thing I would point out is although the photos suggest otherwise, you will not see any skulls or other bones in these catacombs. For those who are into that, you might be a little disappointed.

Great Tour Worth Doing! - Great tour with Valeria (and Kate at the catacombs). The Basilica St Clemente and catacombs were amazing and the insights we learned as a result of the tour were invaluable. This was a great experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see some amazing architecture that has stood the test of time.
