    The tour of the catacombs was an interesting and memorable experience! Our guide of the catacombs was very well informed and gave us a lot of information about the catacombs. He was friendly and personable. The company in charge of transportation was unorganized. Our group of 16 met at the office and were transported in multiple vehicles that arrived over I’d say 10-15 minutes. My party of two was sent to a van with six other people which only had 7 passenger seats. The driver told us to squeeze in. My party went back to office and waited for another van. When we arrived, the guide met us saying he had been waiting for us. We then joined the rest of our tour group who had been seated in the sanctuary of the church above the catacombs. Unfortunately it just started the tour with a bit of stress. The tour itself and the guide made up for the rocky start.

    Visiting the Catacombs was an excellent tour. The history we learned about the burial grounds was well worth it. We did the shorter tour which was perfect for our family. It didn’t feel rushed but was ample time.
