I had an excellent time on the tour yesterday connecting the threads of history and archeology of the Appian Way and catacombs was one of the most memorable experiences here in Rome!
Gabriela was knowledgeable and personal. What a great tour guide! I appreciated the time she took to explain each site and their context… amazing how she kept the tour interactive and personalized yet also focused on the overall Via Appia tour. I learned so much, it was a lot of fun, and I cannot thank her enough!
The tour through the catacombs was very interesting. Our group was small. The guide explained a lot to us in a short time. We were in the catacombs for about 45 minutes. The rest of the tour was a beautiful walking tour .
Lovely tour with an amazing guide! Super interesting! One of our best experiences in Rome. Thank you!
