Good tour of the Appian Way, Roman aqueducts and the St. Sebastian Catacombs. We walked part of the Appian Way to the St. Sebastian Catacombs. This tour does involve walking over uneven surfaces and up and down some narrow stairs.

Tour guide RAN thru catacombs. 5 people left behind not knowing which way to go because we couldn't get down steps fast enough. NO time to look at things and definitely no time for pictures.

Only 6 people, nice small group. Pleasant guide. Nothing to really get excited about seeing on this tour. But the vehicle that took the English group was a minivan that had a row of rear facing seats, so 3 people were always looking out the back and could never see what the guide mentioned “on your right” or “on your left” The vehicle that took the non-English group had a van with all normal seats.

Serena was great and knowledgeable! The catacombs tour was really neat, but more walking than hearing about the catacombs. Aquaducts park was a great park and up close experience with the aquaducts.

David our guide was knowledgeable and humorous and added so much to our visit. He knew everyone's names and kept the small group together on a very busy day. Also he added so many interesting things about the city, the country and the language such as the derivation of the word 'salary' amongst others. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would give his name and your company site to anyone who asked. Terrific. Barry and Maureen

The tour was great! The aqueducts, and catacombs were fantastic. However, at one point our guide Judy went off on a tangent and talked with another person for at least for 15 minutes about a celebrity which had nothing to do with the tour. We spent all of one minute on the Appian Way because we were late for the catacombs tour. Again, a great tour but would have rather had a different guide.

Very knowledgable guide, although he did have a little difficulty with finding the correct English word at times. Those of us on the tour were always able to help him out. The history of the aqueducts was interesting and a marvel of engineering for their time. The Catacombs were a highlight for my wife and was at the top of her sites to see while in Rome. Being on the original Appian Way was amazing to me. Standing on an over 2300 year old road, used by the ancient Romans and with chariot ruts still visible was history in action.
