Loved our tour! - Short and sweet. A great tour. The tour guide was funny and our group was a small, intimate size. Would recommend

Easy to organise and an interesting visit. - Very easy and short visit to the Crypt. Highly recommend this booking as it was easy to organise and we were able to skip a long queue.

Crazy, interesting experience! - This museum provoked conflicting emotions. It is somewhat disturbing while also interesting. Highly recommend, especially for the philosophically minded. I also highly recommend a private tour to know and understand what you are viewing.

Capuchin Crypts Amazing!! - This is my third time going. I went in 1973, then 2023 and then yesterday. One of the best things to see in Roma, and there are SO many things to see! Though I feel badly for Italy. Tourists are invading their beautiful country. Unfortunately I am one too😜

A short but fantastic tour - Incredible experience with a very small group. I'd say this is must see for Rome. I do wish we'd had more of an opportunity to view the museum, it was very much a guided whistle stop tour.

Not at all what I expected - I went because I'm really interested in such things but it was not at all what I expected. First of all, it is not subterranean. Secondly it very, very small. The entire thing barely lasted 10 minutes. I don't think I'd have gone if I'd known.

Just buy tickets there this isn’t worth extra cost - Did not feel this ticket was worth the price the line wasn’t that long and the tickets we received were not able to be scanned by the staff so we had to wait additional time anyway- just go and buy tickets there

Just ok, at best - It was just ok, at best. For me personally, it was a waste of time but if you’re looking to fill a gap or maybe occupy your family go for it. It’s definitely not something I would recommend going out of your way to do.
