Reviews
Our guide was very knowledgable and shared a great deal of interesting information. I would have liked a little more time at the beginning of the tour to photograph the grounds of Santa Domitilla and the entrance to the caracombs (especially since no photographs were allowed inside) and at the end of the tour to peruse the shop there, but the guide pushed us to leave quickly.
Super interesting! Wished the tour had gone on for longer. Our guide was great, very knowledgeable. There was some confusion with the meeting location for driver pick-up. Overall a great tour
