Loved the catacombs and the aquaducts!
Martene_M, May 2024
This tour was great, and Catia was an awesome guide! The meeting location was clearly defined and easy to locate. We really enjoyed the catacombs and getting out of the busy city to see the Appian Way. We had quite a large group, and Catia had assistants to help her keep everyone together. The only part that was not perfect was that there were too many people for one vehicle so we were divided into two vehicles. Catia was in the other vehicle. She continued to provide information during the ride from place to place, but the sound quality was not good in the vehicle she was not riding in. Consequently, we missed some information. The reason I chose this tour was that it included a visit to the aquaducts. I'm so glad we got to see that - I don't think most other tours go in that far. That was a really beautiful area. I'm also glad we did not choose an Ebike tour. We saw many bikers, and it looked absolutely frightening to me. I would only do that if you're a skilled biker. There are many, many tourists to maneuver around, uneven cobblestone streets, and crazy drivers. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great experience

Just amazing experience. The guide was great and I loved walking the Appian Way. It was a great tour. The catacombs are sobering. The separate group for the catacombs was a bit too big.
The guide was terrific....

The guide was terrific. It was wonderful to stand on the cobblestones where the apostle Paul had walked through.
Small group tour - and not rushed!

Wonderful experience. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly and the small group was perfect, ours was a total of 5. The catacombs are very interesting to see, note photos and videos are forbidden. The Appian Way and viaduct were both excellent, I’m so glad I booked this tour!
Lots to take in above and below ground

Meeting was as described, a regular place for many tours. Our Guide Giuseppe was very knowledgeable and happy to take questions. The trip to the via appia and aquaducts was a nice break from the norm. I cannot remember the name of the guide in the catacombs but he was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject. We did this tour 5 years ago and wanted to take our kids (in their 20's)/partners on it this time as it was just amazing. A great tour close to Rome , a three in one that still gives you the rest of the day.
Zeer boeiend bezoek aan Aquaductenpark en de Catacomben . Het bezoek aan Via Appia Antica was ondermaats.
Willem_G, Oct 2023
De gids kwam ongeveer een kwartier te laat. Ze begon pas info te geven nadat er vragen uit de groep kwamen ! Het bezoek aan de Catacomben was zeer boeiend met goede uitleg van de plaatselijke gids. Het bezoek aan het Aquaductenpark voldeed aan de verwachtingen. Wat betreft de Via Appia zelf kregen we veel te weinig spontane info van onze gids. In de info van deze excursie stond aangekondigd dat alleen in deze de Tombe van Caecillia Metella is opgenomen, wat voor mij een reden was om bij u te boeken. De ontgoocheling was groot toen bleek dat er enkel een korte stop met een blik op de buitenkant was opgenomen. Zo was het niet overgekomen bij de boeking en dus en grote teleurstelling !
Unverschämte Abzocke
Claudia_D, Sep 2020
Die Tour hat nicht stattgefunden, wurde per Mail abgesagt. Die genannten Telefonnummern brachten lediglich eine Bandansage in italienisch. Das geld ist abgebucht. Nie wieder !!!!
