Not your typical Roman tour. - This was a very interesting tour. Never would have discovered these places of interest on our own. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable as well as humorous.

Definitely worth going. - Very interesting and enjoyable tour. Our guide Alan was very knowledgeable and personable. We learned a lot. The bus ride was very comfortable and a relief from the walking we had been doing for days. A different side of Rome than most people see but is still very much a part of the history. The catacombs was the high point for us.
