Never a dull moment! We Loved it! - Such a fun and creative way to see the city. And the Capuchin Monks-wow! We loved both our guides… they shared such unique details that most people would likely never know. And they did it with a personal touch. Thank you!

Memorable experience - An amazing experience for our party, 1 adult and 2 teenagers. Our guide, Arielle, was knowledgable and funny, the tour was interactive , captivating the attention of the youngsters. Many “AHA” moments. Need to mention that with larger groups/tours/companies, the guide is not allowed in the Capuchin crypt, so the experience is so much more valuable then an audioguide. We are happy that we chose the Combo tour as they “complimented” each other with dark stories . It was the best part of our short trip to Rome and the one that most certainly will remain in the kids memory l. As for the adult… well, 4th time in Rome and it was very nice to find out less known facts about this incredible town and its history. Definitely worth the tour! Not to mention the support from customer care with ticket, reservation. Congrats and many thanks I recommend booking directly from their website

Creepy and fascinating - just what we wanted - Marilena gave us a great tour. She was knowledgable about the Franciscan friars which added a lot of value when we toured the crypt. She also gave us interesting and spooky tidbits about places around the city as we walked from location to location.

Fun and exciting night! - We did both the Capuchin Crypts Tour and the Dark Side Ghost Tour on our last day in Rome, and they turned out to be some of the most memorable experiences of the trip. The stories and history shared weren’t the typical facts you'd easily stumble upon, which made the tours feel unique and worthwhile. A big shoutout to Alythia, our guide — she struck a great balance between being informative and engaging, and made an effort to connect with everyone in the group. A really solid way to wrap up our time in the city.

Bone crypts -fun quirky and well worth it! - This was so much fun, I'd highly recommend. Not like some of the "tourist trap" type activities you can fall into. Me and my 18 yr old son did the bone crypt and ghost tour and Alythia not only made it super fun but also we learnt so much quirky history and facts! My 18;yr old thoroughly enjoyed, as did I!
