Starts with easy to find starting point. Our guide really knew what this tour was about and passed that knowledge on to us in a variety of ways. He made this tour a favorite and the I only tour site that my grandsons wanted a T-shirt from. Book this tour and get ready for a good time.

Was a very quick tour seemed to be rushing through. Expensive for how quick the tour was would recommend self guided tour
The tour was "Eerily beautiful"! For my first time in Rome, I highly recommend it. It was the perfect mix of morbid and humor.
Such an interesting experience! I highly recommend it. I think you can book right through the Crypt so don’t need to use this vendor but it worked well for us so no regrets.
Not too long buy tickets ahead of time. Just makes it easier. You can go through without a tour or audio. The good stuff is at the end but audio explains the crypts
We got off to a slow skip the line start because a group of 100 (not a typo) was in front of our small group. Our guide did his best to get us started and to navigate around such a large group. I thought he handled the situation the best anyone could given the dynamics. Our guide was knowledgeable with a good sense of humor. The museum area and the crypts are amazing. It was a very interesting tour. I would recommend for adults and older kids.
This was a unique and amazing experience. Like no other church in rome. A must see when visiting Rome
Great guide and very interesting tour Easy for older people and has air conditioning I had no idea that this place existed
We did this tour with slobodan the Serbian guy. He was excellent, very informative and lightened the tour up with a few jokes. Well worth the money
was an excellent historical place to visit. We met up with a great guide full of information about the friers. After your tour go back & read up on more info. Not a busy place, a hidden gem.
Our tour guide was very informative and if you love dad jokes then definitely go with this tour. I’m not disappointed but I guess I was more expecting that the crypt was at least a few stories underground rather than a couple feet.
My favorite experience. Slob was incredible! Best tour guide this trip! Great English speaker. He managed to balance the trip with historical facts and keep it enjoyable. The crypts were a beautiful experience with an eerie factor. Can’t recommend this tour enough.
What an amazing tour!!!Our tour guide was great. He explained everything about the Monks and why they did what they did. He respect for the crypt was very touching. We did this over seeing other sites in the area and were glad we did. It was not creepy of weird. It was a very impressive display of respect for life and death. Highly recommend and would do again.
Unbelievably captivating, a view of history that is highly recommended. Moving through the crypts is unforgettable and was a highlight of our visit to Rome.
This historical tour was both informative and engaging, striking a perfect balance between solemnity and lightheartedness. The guide's knowledge and personable nature kept the group engaged, making it a memorable experience for all. Highly recommended.
Our guide, Slob, was great. He was sensitive to the location but lightened the mood for the visiting group. A fascinating place that won't last forever due to changing laws.
Best tour guide and one of the best tours! As a Catholic family, we learned so much. It was truly amazing.
Guide gave out facts, but definitely did not make any effort to connect with anyone on the tour. But the history was interesting.
The information given by our guide was very good however the tour was very pricey for the 45 minute duration.
This was an interesting tour that was something different to see. Our guide gave thorough explanations & provided some humour to his commentary. He made sure everyone was comfortable when we were in the crypts since it can be somewhat of a claustrophobic environment. We would recommend this tour.
Certainly an eye opening experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and it was interesting to hear about the history of the monks.
Great tour. We enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was very informative and amusing as well. We would recommend this tour.
Our guide was lovely she knew so much and was so passionate . . I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much without her knowledge
Great tour and our guide explained things so eloquently and with a little humor. A short tour but plenty of time to return back to the museum and review what the tour passed over.
The guide was great! Very excellent tour!!! He was very informative and even gave a few dad jokes. Would definitely book again.
Eva was so sweet and had a true passion for the history of Rome and the Crypts. She really engaged with us, and it felt very personal with only eight people. I thought about doing this without a guide, but it was so nice having the personal stories. She really conveyed the spirituality and artistry of the crypt.
Guide was excellent!! Incredibly knowledgeable, and eager to share his knowledge with the group. He took his time describing the history of the Capuchins in the small museum prior to the crypt itself. A phenomenal experience not to be missed!!
We thought our guide Slob was great with our son, he made it memorable with his stories and analogies. Thank you very much. Highly recommend
Absolutely brilliant tour and big credit to the tour guide especially the humour side (listen out for the three jokes).
Amazing tour and tour guide! Just the perfect amount of time to appreciate the crypts and extra time to return to the museum independently after the tour. A definite most when visiting Rome.
We had limited time before another longer tour, so this quick visit to the Capuchin Crypts was just right for us. We wanted to see something like the catacombs without going to the outskirts of the city. The church is very conveniently located. Tips: 1) Women must have shoulders and knees (barely) covered, but they will issue you a flimsy cover-up if you forget to bring your wrap. 2) NO PHOTOS are allowed. They have surveillance cameras and will catch you and call you out. I didn't try, but others in my group did. 3) I thought it would be cold, and was looking forward to cooling off on a hot July day, but the crypt is not really underground. Just down a half level, but after having gone up front steps of church. So you don't need to bundle up like in the real catacombs. 4) Nice little souvenir shop. Since you can't take photos, buy a couple of postcards instead and scan them at home for your digital photo album.
Great tour. Our tour guide was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and funny. The crypts were creepy but very interesting
I Could not the reach guide. Terrible communication and logistics. Please provide a refund so that we can actually go.
This was a pretty short tour and we didn't learn too much so it was not one of my favorites. If you are prioritizing events I would put this one at the bottom of my list. Interesting, but others in Rome are better.
Great story, tied the history of Capuchin Crypts together in a very easy to understand way. Highly recommend.
The crypt is unforgettable. Our tour guide was a fantastic teacher and shared many interesting facts.
This was a great tour. I didn't initially realise the tickets include a tour guide as well and this was definitely a very positive surprise! Slobodan was a great guide, he is obviously very knowledgeable of the crypt, monks and the historical framework. I really recommend this tour because Slobodan is able to mention and point out different museum pieces and give you an insight which you wouldn't find elsewhere so this is definitely worth the money. The tour really managed to put things in perspective and we really benefited from having an expert in the room to guide us through. I recommend!
Great guide! He was very interesting, the stories and the things we saw were definitely unique! In general an amazing experience
The tour was very fun and informative!! We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to everyone else! Doing this with a tour guide is way better because of all the stories and explanations provided. :) Our tour guide was very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable! :)
Very informative, reflective message in the way bones are displayed. Guide was knowledgeable, engaging.
Very interesting tour guide, a lot of information on the history behind the monks and history of the order. Fairly small crypt, easy to walk through.
This was the best tour I went on in my entire trip to Italy. It carried the most enriching history and beautiful story surrounding what some might consider a macabre display of artwork. Our tour guide, Boban (apologies if spelt incorrectly) met with us at the meeting point literally over the road from the museum and then we walked over to begin our tour. Boban was extraordinarily passionate about the history of the Capuchin and this showed in the tour delivery. He was able to point out specific artefacts in the museum and explain to us what they were with some outstanding facts relevant to modern history as well. Definitely a though-provoking and insightful tour. This was all before we got to see the crypts themselves. Out of respect for the Capuchin you cannot take photos inside the museum and you are being heavily monitored on security cameras if you even attempt to reach for your camera so please be aware that this tour is genuinely a respectful and insightful tour. Not just to go and see some bones and skeletons on display. I found being in the crypts themselves a very moving experience learning about the Capuchin and how the crypts came to be. Even at the end of the tour the lady at reception when I asked politely in Italian let me wander back through the museum and take my time observing and reading about more artefacts and the crypts. Thank you for an amazing tour!
Very knowledgeable guide and group not too large, guide gave great information about history of the monks and the church.
This was a very interesting tour! Our guide had a lot of knowledge on the subject matter and was very personable and patient with my nine year old daughter's questions. The crypts were eerie and beautiful. A very nice tour that does not take the whole day!
A guided tour is a must to understand what this is all about. Well worth paying the extra as it provides context to the history of the capuchin order and why they did what they did. we had a good knowledgeable guide.
Absolutely amazing, the tour itself was fantastic. The guide was very knowlegable and took her time to explain the story fully to us. Afterwards we went into the church and was sang to by their group breathtakingly beautiful and well worth the money, although not overly expensive anyway. Cant wait to go back !
Rdv à 12h00. À 11h50, il n’y avait personne. Après avoir suggéré que nous étions arrivés en retard, le guide a heureusement accepté de nous rembourser. Nous avons patienté 40 minutes en plein soleil et jamais vu la crypte.
