We had Arvin as our tour guide. Very informative and organized. He took great care to insure that all participants knew how to return especially since the drop off location needed to change. We found his handling of the tour indicated he has much tour guiding experience. Tour itself was filled with new and valued experiences. Would highly recommend. On another note we found the tour guy company’s level of communication was far superior to other companies used in the past. Again would highly recommend this company!

The Capuchin Crypts tour and the guide were great. The catacombs tour was not that interesting and not worth the time and money, especially because the guide was not that interesting and hard to hear.
Awesome

My first booking with The Tour Guy. The best part of the tour (aside from the destinations of course) was all the information provided by our tour guide(s). Full of great information and answered all the guests' questions.

This tour is very unique and interesting. The tour guide was excellent and was very respectful of the premises since it is a graveyard and a holy site. The use of bones as ornamental decorations in the tombs were creative and creepy. However, it was not scary and you did not see bones lying in the tombs. The tour guide was very informative about the burial practices of the early Christians from the first and second centuries and up to 500 A.D. Our family enjoy the tour. It was a good tour and we recommend it.
