Quick, efficient option - If you're short on time, this is a good tour to do. If you have more time, there are cheaper options.
This tour includes entry to two locations: the capuchin crypt in the centre of Rome (not far from the Spanish steps), and the Domitilla Catacombs on the outskirts of town.
Entry to both will set you back maybe €30 or so in total, and you can just walk up to each location and buy an entry ticket. At the Capuchin crypt there isn't timed entry (audio guide only so you can go in at your own pace), but at the catacombs you would have to wait until a guide can take you around (you can't just go in and wander at your own pace). Of the two, the catacombs is the more interesting experience, but the crypt is more central.
So what you're paying for here is the private transfer to quickly take you from Rome to the catacombs, the perfectly-timed entry to the catacombs, the private transfer back to the crypt, and then a self-guided tour of the crypt. The private transfer is quick and comfortable.
So, if you're short on time like I was this tour makes total sense. If you have more time, you can save some (well, quite a lot of) money and just do it yourself using a. Taxi or public transport.
The tour was a good experience and I'd probably book it again if I only had a few hours to see something cool in Rome.

Amazing Experience - Amazing underground experience of the ancient roman cemetery. The organisation was perfect. We met at the Touristation office close to Piazza Venezia. The staff were kind helpful and very efficient. We took 15 min ride on open-top minibus, driving by some fantastic sites. The guide was friendly and professional. All went very well. We recommend this tour with Touristation.

Seamless Transfers: Stress-Free and Convenient - One of the highlights of this tour was the dedicated transfer service. It made the whole experience hassle-free, allowing us to focus on the sights and stories rather than navigating public transport or finding our way around.

Interesting, but could have skipped and been fine - We booked this last minute when our other tour got canceled. It was a fun tour- interesting sites and easy transport between the sites. The tour is self guided at the Capuchin monestary which is fine with the audio tour. The catacomb has a guide but there isn’t a ton to see - nonetheless interesting.

Catacombs Tour - This was a really interesting and informative tour. The only issue was that the tour guide, as knowledgeable and friendly as she was, didn’t speak English really well for an English speaking tour and made it difficult to understand and follow what she was explaining at times.

Find a better one, this isn't it. - The guide did not provide any historical information. They are essentially a taxi service. They also left us at our last stop and did not.bring us back to the starting point like my ticket said they would.
