Beautiful experience - New experience for all of us that we are completely satisfied with. Very pleasant concert with engaging performers. Very particular crypt, to be seen at least once.

Incredible experience - I chose to attend based on a recommendation and it was a strange but wonderful mix. We started with a concert of beautiful music from 16th century. It would have been worth going for this alone. I had not heard about the Capichin friars and the tour through the display and Church was fascinating. Our guide was great, bringing the history to life. Then we had the adventure of the crypt, fascinating if somewhat strange. The concepts of the order displayed with the bones of the friars. I highly recommend this experience if you’re in Rome.

Heavenly Experience - What heavenly music! Paola and her three companion singers were a delight. Such divine a capella music lifted the roof of the Capuchin refectory. I enjoyed the experience so much that I felt transported. Thank you. As for the tour of the museum and crypt!? Fascinating. The guide was excellent though she said she was nervous and it was her first time. Many thanks, Paola. Tina O’Donnell

Bis orat qui bene cantat - The concert of sacred music was the highlight of our trip. The group was outstanding in their musicianship, their blend, their sensitivity, etc. Nice selection of musical styles too. Our tour guide was also outstanding. Nice explanations and distillation of a lot of material.

A Tour for All the Senses! - This was such a fun experience. It started with the music in a dark auditorium. It was very calming and unique. All the songs were acapella, and each was given a bit of a backstory as to why they were singing it. After that, we learned all about the Capuchins order, and were able to see an original work by Caravaggio. Once we went through the museum, we were into the crypts and I saw catacombs unlike any I'd ever seen before. It was not like some where it's just lined walls of skulls and bones, these crypts were a work of art. Each room had a different meaning, a different story, and the guide explained it all to us, room by room. At the end, we toured the Church of the Immaculate Conception where they guide told us about the artwork and history of the church. This was a very cool experience, and I would recommend it for anyone looking for something different than the typical church tours.
