It was a good learning experience for adults and kids. We learned so much. We are glad to find this in our search of what to do with the family.
We did the audio tour & found it to be very interesting. The audio tour allowed us to go at our own pace. The tour was also a very nice break from the heart wave.
What a unique experience. My kids were shocked at the end with the various displays, and it was really interesting to read all of the information about the crypts. This is less attended than many of the other tours, but worth the price of admission, for sure!
We booked an audio tour through the crypts. It was incredible. The audio guide was insightful and informative. The crypts themselves were absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend this experience. They do request that your shoulders and knees are covered out of respect so bare that in mind while dressing.
wonderful and interesting! audio guide really helpful and easy to use. was clear (the voice) and provided interesting information.
Most of this experience is a museum about the monks. The section with the stunning bone chapel is at the end. The audio tour is highly recommended as it provides a great explanation of what you are seeing and its meaning. The bone chapel is a shorter segment than I expected but absolutely worth the trip. Its warm in the museum and cooling the crypt. If you have entry tickets, go right to the ticket booth. There were no signs with the line. Well worth it, a different experience than other aspects of Rome. Both of my youn teenage sons enjoyed.
This tour was amazing. Our guide was terrific - very informative, respectful and funny all at the same time.
Easy access, they took us early. Its an audio on your own which was great devices provided. Went at our own pace
Amazing history and bone art I didn’t know existed ! The museum before the actual crypt is worth paying attention to. It explains the reason behind the monks existence.
The first portion of this tour involves a history lesson through a self guided audio headset. You learn about the reason behind the bone church and then you enter the bone church. The bone church was a unique experience and you are allowed to take photos. I would not bring children here.
