Not to miss!

Randa_G, Apr 2024

Unbelievably captivating, a view of history that is highly recommended. Moving through the crypts is unforgettable and was a highlight of our visit to Rome.

Historical and educational

Shawn_J, Apr 2024

This historical tour was both informative and engaging, striking a perfect balance between solemnity and lightheartedness. The guide's knowledge and personable nature kept the group engaged, making it a memorable experience for all. Highly recommended.

Fascinating and creepy

David_R, Mar 2024

Our guide, Slob, was great. He was sensitive to the location but lightened the mood for the visiting group. A fascinating place that won't last forever due to changing laws.

Wonderful

Andrea_D, Jan 2024

Best tour guide and one of the best tours! As a Catholic family, we learned so much. It was truly amazing.

Pricey tour for 45 minutes.

Debra_B, Sep 2023

The information given by our guide was very good however the tour was very pricey for the 45 minute duration.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hi Debra Thank you for your time and review. Let me just say that this tour can not be compared with any other tour you've provably booked while in Rome (for example Colosseum and Vatican) since Crypts are very small compared to other attractions. Therefore group size is reduced to MAXIMUM 10 participants and we do only tour a day. In other words comparing price of Colosseum or Vatican Tour with this one is pretty unfair. Kind regards

This was an interesting...

Julie_A, Aug 2023

This was an interesting tour that was something different to see. Our guide gave thorough explanations & provided some humour to his commentary. He made sure everyone was comfortable when we were in the crypts since it can be somewhat of a claustrophobic environment. We would recommend this tour.

History and Skeletons

Alana_W, Aug 2023

Certainly an eye opening experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and it was interesting to hear about the history of the monks.

Great tour

Christina_D, Jul 2023

Great tour. We enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was very informative and amusing as well. We would recommend this tour.

Fantastic

Caterina_T, Jul 2023

Our guide was lovely she knew so much and was so passionate . . I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much without her knowledge

Crypt tour

Jennifer_J, Jun 2023

The guide was great! Very excellent tour!!! He was very informative and even gave a few dad jokes. Would definitely book again.

Capuchin Artistry

Scott_N, May 2023

Eva was so sweet and had a true passion for the history of Rome and the Crypts. She really engaged with us, and it felt very personal with only eight people. I thought about doing this without a guide, but it was so nice having the personal stories. She really conveyed the spirituality and artistry of the crypt.

Great tour with our guide

Corey_L, Dec 2022

We thought our guide Slob was great with our son, he made it memorable with his stories and analogies. Thank you very much. Highly recommend

Fantastic - makes a morbid topic of human remains come to life.

allan_c, Nov 2022

Absolutely brilliant tour and big credit to the tour guide especially the humour side (listen out for the three jokes).

Fascinating "mini-catacombs" tour

Britt_S, Sep 2022

We had limited time before another longer tour, so this quick visit to the Capuchin Crypts was just right for us. We wanted to see something like the catacombs without going to the outskirts of the city. The church is very conveniently located. Tips: 1) Women must have shoulders and knees (barely) covered, but they will issue you a flimsy cover-up if you forget to bring your wrap. 2) NO PHOTOS are allowed. They have surveillance cameras and will catch you and call you out. I didn't try, but others in my group did. 3) I thought it would be cold, and was looking forward to cooling off on a hot July day, but the crypt is not really underground. Just down a half level, but after having gone up front steps of church. So you don't need to bundle up like in the real catacombs. 4) Nice little souvenir shop. Since you can't take photos, buy a couple of postcards instead and scan them at home for your digital photo album.

Fabulous

Jette_S, Aug 2022

Great tour. Our tour guide was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and funny. The crypts were creepy but very interesting

No show

Shaminder_M, Jul 2022

I Could not the reach guide. Terrible communication and logistics. Please provide a refund so that we can actually go.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Shaminder, The only missing part in your review is the most important one, you never showed up at the meeting point.What you did is asked for a refund for being late. If you miss the flight,I guess you will ask for refund as well,right? But you've wrote a review, and were not late for that one. Kind regards Slob

Interesting, but better tours in Rome.

Kris_H, Jul 2022

This was a pretty short tour and we didn't learn too much so it was not one of my favorites. If you are prioritizing events I would put this one at the bottom of my list. Interesting, but others in Rome are better.

Capuchin Crypts

Brian_R, Jun 2022

Great story, tied the history of Capuchin Crypts together in a very easy to understand way. Highly recommend.
