Mike our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. Told us about the history of the church, catacombs and the neighbourhood. Plenty of opportunity to ask questions. The church is breathtaking inside. Thoroughly enjoyed this and would highly recommend

What a cool experience!! Our tour guide, Mike, was so knowledgeable and always checked in to see if anyone had questions before moving on with the tour. Incredibly personable and went at a pace we could all follow along (it’s a lot of history, easy to feel overwhelmed but we never did). There are so many good stories and the catacombs themselves are a good amount of creepy (I wouldn’t say scary by any means, but it is where a ton of dead people have been laid to rest - so you know, an appropriate amount of creepy if you think about it). Highly recommend if you’re a fan of history and cemeteries!
