The VIP tour was worth every penny. The access to areas others don't get to see and the small group made it more informative and special. Ask for Michelle if you can... She is AMAZING!
Hamish was a wonderful guide, so informative and well spoken. We enjoyed this activity immensely. It was a fascinating way to honor a sad situation.
Incredible guide, with so much knowledge. She was very personable and made everyone in the group feel involved. She was able to give us access to locked away portions of the catacombs, that self guided patrons could not access. Amazing!
