Italy · CATACOMBS TOURS
The good catacombs tours fill up weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 15 to lock in early, what each includes, and where they differ once you are on the ground.

“It was very interesting and not to dense on history to make it boring. It was very interesting. I was just surprised and a little bit disappointed that photos were not allowed, but it’s understandable.”

“the whole trip was fantastic! our guide cat was amazing. highly recommend”
Skip the line in Rome for the Capuchin Crypt, Domitilla Catacombs, and San Martino ai Monti, with guided stories and transfers included.
“I got sick in the morning. I’m not sure from what but I was not going anywhere. No refunds within 24 hours. So if you go during the off-season, make sure you don’t buy these things until you know you can go on them. I did the other tour though for the Colosseum and it was unbelievable. Not sure if this is even a good tour or not, but I don’t see how it couldn’t be especially if it was anything like the Colosseum one. And rules are rules, so I’m not that bitter, but still 60$ is $60”
