Julia our guide was a local Roman who knew the catacombs, Appian Way and mausoleum history as well as church history very well. Julia was open to questions and made the tour fun and informative. Julia was very knowledgeable about the Roman aqueduct engineering, number of aqueducts serving Rome how springs were selected, very impressive. We walked a small portion of the Appian Way which made us think how commerce arrived to Rome, military could move quickly, and of course crucifiction of thousands of Spartacus allegiants during the Slave Revolt. The catacombs and church above funded by Cardinal Borghese was equally impressive, and had an excellent guide from the Church. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour.
