Excellent

Es war sehr eindrucksvoll und der Audioguide war vollkommen ausreichend als Führer. Es hat groß und klein gefallen. Da es oberirdisch 32 Grad warm war ,war es zudem eine angenehme Alternative zu oberirdischen Sightseeing. Vielleicht etwas zum überziehen mitnehmen. 177 Treppen runter und wieder hoch, nur zur Info für Menschen, die Probleme mit den Knien haben.

Great

When booking other tours via Viator, i came across this one for the Catacombs. It's not something I'd heard of previously and it looked interesting. Andrei, our guide, was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, kept us moving however with sufficient time to review what he spoken about. We did the additional 'secret' areas which are only available with a 3rd party guide.

Jonny was an excellent guide. Lots of interesting facts that are not part of the typical signage. Fun extras on the the tour that were not part of the standard fare.

Excellent

Very informative. Two full hours. Not as claustrophobic as I thought it would be, but narrow at the very beginning .
