5.00This was a great experience for us. We did the 2 hour small group (approx 12 people) tour. Divan was an excellent tour guide. He packed a lot of information into the tour without feeling like he was giving a lecture. The catacombs are something you can’t truly comprehend until you are standing inside them. It was an ncredible experience. The group included children (around 10 years old), teens, and adults. Everyone seemed to enjoy every moment. The two hours flew by. I don’t particularly enjoy small spaces but I was fine with this tour. Thank you, Divan, for all of the great history you shared with us!
The best!!
