Overall it was a very nice experience. We first went to the museum where we saw the artistic display of the bones, which was very interesting. We then took a bus and visited the catacombs which was also a very interesting, unique experience. We finished the tour by visiting a church with some underground rooms. It was a very well executed tour and the guides where very organised. If I could have changed anything I would have liked to spend more time in the catacombs to see more of them, but for some people it could be a bit claustrophobic, so I understand why we only saw two levels.

Easy and fun way to see Rome. We purchased the 48hr pass and it was a great way to learn about the history of each place and an easy way to get to the main attractions.

The trip was really easy to find and the transaction was smooth. Guides were great and really knowledgeable and the transfers were comfortable.

The experience was amazing! Our guide Peter was funny and very knowledgeable.

The walk was very beautiful and the places were clarified in detail
