Reviews
El tour es una estafa, te relatan en el que harás, que tendrás la opción de ir por barco o por carretera, y nunca te dan la oportunidad de elegir, lo por carretera, con un conductor q te lleva como un loco
Our Beefeater guide was amazing. We so enjoyed listening to his stories.
The Capuchin Crypt museum and the Catacombs themselves were pretty interesting but this tour felt like a waste. The tour guide added almost no value. She walked us to the Capuchin Crypt museum and left us there with an audio tour, then put us on a bus to get to the Catacombs where a different person took us through that experience. The tour guide did nothing more than chit-chat on the bus. In addition, there was a road closure on our return and the driver (despite waiting around for an hour while we were in Catacombs) had no idea until we were on top of it. If the tour was basically just transportation I think they should’ve been checking a nav app or something. I do not think this tour was worth the money.
