    Everything was fine except that you had to go down a lot of stairs in the catacomb, so it's not ideal for people with reduced mobility. But for those who can, perfect.

    I found the part of the catacombs emotionally intense. The guide handled it with tact. Highly recommended for adults.

    We made the meeting point smoothly, the group left on time. The guide was friendly, with a good pace. Perhaps I would expect more ancient artefacts on the Appian Way.

    I enjoyed it very much. The setting of the Appian Way seemed very different from what I expected in Rome: quieter, more "out of the ordinary".
