A fascinating tour with a local guide, Federika. She was born and bred in central Rome and eagerly shared her wide knowledge of the Capuchin Crypt and recalled her childhood memories of growing up in the city. Another guide was required to lead us through the Catacombs and he was equally as knowledeable and interesting as Federika had been about the crypts. All in all a fabulous tour and we would highly recommend Viator as the booking agent. Everything was extremely well organised.
