5.00We absolutely loved our tour of the crypts and catacombs. Both of our guides were amazing storytellers - educational, knowledgeable, and interesting as well as some dashes of humour :) We went for the after-hours, and it made the tour fun and less crowded. I would recommend doing both and joining a group like this!
Excellent time!
