Cool Catacombs - Our van ride had seven tourists. They drove us from the meeting point to the catacombs. Then our tour guide met us at the van and group stayed together. The guide was very funny and made the catacombs very interesting as we went through the labyrinth of narrow tunnels. There are several steps involved. As the catacombs are sacred burial, ground, the guide was able to keep things humorous, yet serious, as we learned about the history of the time and what happened there afterwards. When we were finished, the guide brought us back to the van and we remained with the same group as we returned back to the starting point. The guide did a great job of mixing humor into a serious situation and we learned lots.

Informative Guide - Comfortable transport and excellent guide. Don’t do if you’re claustrophobic though! Did it on a 98 degree day and was much more comfortable underground.

Perfect fit for what we needed - Our guide, Mario, was so funny and engaging! We had a small window to see the catacombs before our evening flight and this tour worked perfectly for us to get a taste while not wearing out our young kids. The small group size and included transfer were a welcome break to the crowds of tourists everywhere! A great experience!

Interesting with a tour guide and to ensure you don't get lost - A cool break in the blazing summer heat. An eeire experience, but and interesting dive into the religious and social history of Rome. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and we we glad he was there as we wouldn't want to get lost down there.

A Great Tour of the Catacombs - The transport took us out to the Catacombs quickly, and the tour itself was about an hour. This was the perfect amount of time for the Catacombs. The tour guide was very informative. There are quite a few steps down into the Catacombs, but once there, the temperature was a nice respite from the heat of the city.

Tourik Catacombs - Tourik meeting place was in questionable area. Nice bus with AC. Daniel spent too much time in first large room and didn't allow any time in gift shop since photos weren't allowed in Catacombs

Terrible experience - To be honest, the only reason why I’m giving them 2 stars is because of our guide Gabrielle, he is absolutely wonderful! The experience was terrible! First, the meeting place was changed and they sent a message to me that i haven't received because i was traveling, we arrived in time ti the place and know on the house number provided and people inside said they are not a touring company, very sketchy and weird, after several attempts to contact the tour company they sent me a message they were parked in a different place and someone will pick us, fine, we were transported in a van with a driver that honestly though he was in the F1 and drive terribly and was reckless! we were seriously scared and he could not care less! children in that car and he was about to hit other cars several times! I'm sorry guys bit if you don't like tourist then so yourself a favor and work in a different line of work

Don’t waste your money - short and unenthusiastic tour! - This tour was only 40 minutes, including driving time, which is much shorter than what I paid for. The tour guide, Ernestes, was unenthusiastic and condescending when we asked questions. My sense was he would rather be doing something else than give a tour of the catacombs. He even left the group during the ride back to the meeting/drop off point and we saw him walking by us! Viator refused to give me a partial refund even though I paid for a tour three times longer. Do not waste your money on this tour!
