Customer Reviews
Booking ahead of time saved us so much time. This was a self guided tour however we were able to purchase tickets ahead of time allowing us to plan our stay and other tours instead of directly through the Catacombs which only allow you to purchase 7 days ahead
The device used is like a cell phone that you activate at specified points in tour. Loved it. >130 steps down and back up. Unusual experience and history. Worth the time and money.
