The tour started in the Capuchin Crypts. It was very informative about the Capuchin Order and the history behind the crypts. Next we had a short van ride to the Catacombs of Priscilla. The tour guide handed over the tour to one of the Sisters in charge of the Catacombs. She was very informative and brought a deep connection with my faith.
Catacombs and Crypts with Francesca.

My mother, son, and I enjoyed our guide, Fiona. She was informative and interesting with what she shared. My son wasn’t keen on the bones but loved the catacombs. Our guide in the catacombs was amazing and took her time to show us everything she could. I have recommended this tour to three friends visiting Rome during the Jubilee year.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The catacombs were incredible the guide there was exceptional. She was extremely knowledgeable and thank god it is underground. It was very refreshing considering it was 36degrees outside. Well worth it in the summer during the day!!!

The instructions told us to come 15 min early to ensure a prompt start time. We were there as well as the other members of the tour, but no one was holding a sign. Eventually our tour guide, Oscar, came over, letting us know that there’s some problem with ticket office. It was not his fault at all and he was very nice, but we had to wait for 45 min post start time. Which means we were rushed through the first crypt which wasn’t great. We also waited in front of the museum in which we heard that this was not the first time this happened with the tickets not being there on time for the tour. Once again, Oscar was very informative and helpful. When we went to the next spot, we had sister Elena take us down to the catacombs. It was very cool to see but we had maybe fourish spots we looked at, and she mostly told us Catholic beliefs and parables while down there rather than historical facts or information about the catacombs. I would have preferred a bit more to see as we were down there for about an hour.
In awe

Loved this evening tour! Perfect for hot summer days in Rome, since you get to go underground and see some amazing crypts (and cool off!). Getting to enter the Priscilla Catacombs after it's closed to the public is very special. Highly recommend!
