Lorenz was very informative and engaging but the tour felt very rushed and seemed like we were running through the catacombs with no chance to stop to look at anything. If we stopped to look, the tour group would get too far ahead and one could get lost. Also, the Whisper devices have terrible range. If you were the last 2-3 people in a group of 10, you would hear static or nothing at all for periods of time.

The guide was excellent and very engaging, it was my 18 year old daughter favourite tour and the reason I gave 4 stars for value. The tour itself was short and for the price there are many other tours that last for double the time. That being said I’m not sure we would have learnt as much. If you love history, are interested in early Christianity and the down fall of Rome this tour is for you

I loved the tour and the guide. The tour started on time from the meeting place and drove us in a nice shuttle with A/C which was great during a hot day. The catacombs was fascinating. They do not have skulls and bones here like in Paris but the guide told us all kinds of stories and answered our questions. We opted for a cab back to save time but if you aren’t rushed, it’s a great option. I’m not super thrilled with GetYourGuide since I use them all the time and they didn’t refund a different tour, but it’s worth checking this one out, even on your own. We had a cab back so they’re available!
