My friend and I went to the catacombs on a Sunday and surprisingly they were still open. I'm glad that they were! It was a really unique experience to see them...albeit a bit spooky! The guided tour was quite informative and she did not let us get lost in the catacombs! More

If you are going to go to Rome, you should probably see the catacombs. I know that this was one of the things I had most wanted to see, but it did not end up the highlight I expected it to be. If you are going to this catacombs, a walk or ride on the Appian Way (on the way,... More

Domitila Catacombs are the greatest catacombs in Rome. Over 17 Km! The part that is open to the public is only a small part of it, but it's breathtaking! We were very lucky with our english spoken guide, the lady was very very good and helped us to understand too many things about ancient Rome... A must see! More

I"m sorry other reviewers had trouble getting there. We took one bus from Corso Vittorio Emanuele and while it was a bumpy ride, it probably took only 15-20 minutes. The entrance is a short walk from the bus stop--it's on the right side of the road. For some reason, I got confused and we had to run across a slightly... More

Once we finally found our way there, 2 hours on a bus with a very unhelpful driver, changed buses nice driver found the place quick smart! W ended up in a very small English speaking tour, just 5 of us. The young lady who took us around was full of all the interesting facts we wanted to know and showed... More

I toured these catacombs today (October 9) with 8 other people. The groups are formed by language and I only had to wait 5-10 minutes for an English-language group to be formed. (Two other groups--one German-language, one French--were formed and started off a few minutes apart before us.) The guide provided by the catacombs gave an excellent tour in near-perfect... More

This was one of the attractions we were going to do if we had some spare time in Rome.  I'm so glad we went here, this should be a must for everyone! You have to visit within a group.  Pre booking isn't required.  Just turn up and they will put you on the next tour in your language.  Tickets are... More

Arrived Early Morning in Civitavecchia with Ship our friends highly suggested we book John in Italy under Rome Limousine by John for our secure transfer. John was next to the ship by 09.00 am as promised. We went directly to the Catacombs in Roma for our small group tour of 10 people in English for the 10.30 entrance. Very Interesting.... More

As a Christian, I wanted to see "the catacombs" I had heard so much about in regard to the early Christian church. We picked this one based on our Rome guide-book's recommendation. My husband and I went through with another American couple, and the guide didn't seem to understand our questions, so though there were only four of us, we... More
