Leo was an amazing and very knowledgeable guide that made this experience one to remember! Highly recommend exploring the catacombs with a guide vs by yourself, at least for the access to the restricted areas which are tour group only!
Aidan – Australia

We loved our guide, Leo. He was very informative and gave lots of good information. We really appreciated him! The only reason we did not give 5 stars is because The tour operator, Walks, booked us for a tour with no more than 6 people but sent us on a tour with 21 people. Not very happy with that.

Our guide, Johnny was great. He was happy to answer loads of questions. The tour was awesome, takes you to restricted areas of the catacombs. Loved it
