Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We would however like to clarify that this experience is described and sold as a private driver-guided tour with transportation, including hotel pickup and visits to the Catacombs and Appian Way area. The Catacombs themselves are always visited through the official on-site guides provided directly by the archaeological site, as external guiding inside the Catacombs is not permitted. Our driver-guides are highly rated by many travelers for their professionalism, knowledge, and personalized service, and this tour consistently receives excellent reviews from guests who appreciate the combination of private transportation, flexibility, and historical highlights. Regarding the Catacombs visit, entrance timing is managed directly by the site and, especially during busy periods, groups may occasionally join a tour already in progress depending on operational logistics at the venue.

Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding the "Jubilee 2025 Rome: Tour of Catacombs and Ancient Appian Way" tour. While we are delighted to hear about some of the redeeming qualities of your experience, we are truly sorry that the overall tour was a disappointing experience and felt like a poor value for your money. First and foremost, we are happy to acknowledge the excellent service provided by your private driver-guide: Stefano** is indeed one of our **5-star rated driver-guides**, and we are glad to hear he was **"super friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable." We are also pleased that **he dropped you off at a great restaurant per your request, which you "absolutely loved!" We sincerely apologize for the areas that were disappointing: Vehicle Size We understand your concern regarding the size of the vehicle. A standard sedan is correctly used for private tours for up to 4 persons and complies with the tour specifications. However, we acknowledge that for some travelers, a full sedan may feel cramped, and we appreciate this feedback. The Catacombs Experience We are genuinely sorry that the actual visit to the Catacombs was an "underwhelming" and "disappointing" experience. You are correct that the Catacombs, by their nature, are ancient underground burial tunnels. Their historical significance lies in the fact that they are empty "holes in the wall"—the original resting places of early Christians and martyrs—as the remains and major relics were moved to churches (Basilicas) in the city centuries ago for safekeeping. We regret that this historical context was not clear enough to manage your expectations before entry. Furthermore, the issues you raised regarding the conditions inside are unacceptable: Overcrowding and Audio: The Catacombs are operated by external site management, and the group sizes and guiding are unfortunately beyond our direct control. The situation with the group being "twice the size it should have been" and the resulting inability to hear the guide, compounded by the distraction from other groups, completely ruined the atmosphere and educational value. We are taking this up with our local partner immediately. Pricing and Value We understand your frustration about the high per-person price versus the nominal site entrance fee. We want to clarify the price breakdown for a private tour with a private driver-guide: The cost is for the **exclusive private service** provided by Stefano, which includes: 1. A **5-Star Private Driver-Guide** for 3 hours. 2. **Private, air-conditioned transportation** for 3 hours. 3. The **guided drive and narrative** along the Ancient Appian Way. 4. **Hotel pick-up and drop-off** (or custom location, like your restaurant). 5. Sites like Basilica St Paul, Villa Maxenxius, Church Domine Quo Vadis 6. All fuel, parking, and associated operational costs. While this type of private service is significantly more expensive than a group bus tour, we understand that when the experience within the catacombs themselves is compromised, it severely impacts the perceived value. We thank you again for the honest feedback, which is crucial as we navigate the challenges of the Holy Year with our local partners. We are truly sorry we failed to deliver a 5-star experience on this occasion.
