A great tour by Sara. WE had planned to do the San Callisto catacombs but they were closed (midday to 2pm) so we continued up the Appian way to San Sebastian and I suspect we had a better experience.…Full review by OldShadowfax

This tour gave us a lot more than we bargained for. We booked a tour in English - booking is essential. There were only 8 of us in total, which meant we could see and hear everything perfectly. Our g…Full review by LBearbath

It was a really pleasant 10 minute walk from the main train termini. Taxis will happi;y take you there, but it is really hard to get a taxi to come pick you up when you are done. We couldn't get a taxi to pick us up, but the curator told us to just walk down a short path to the west and at the bottom of the hill we would find a bus stop which would take us right back into the heart of town, to the metro. IT was maybe a two minute walk, and the bus stop was right there. it took us directly to the metro and we were good. We already had the BERG tickets for the train, which also cover all metro and busses, so we didn't have to pay to get on the bus. The BERG tickets are really excellent especially if you are arriving from the cruise port.

Since we were near the Termini, we took the Metro Line A to Colli Albani then Bus 660 --(get off at the last bus stop) to the top of the Appian Way. In conjunction with a self-guided tour of the Appian Way and the catacombs, we ventured out to Aqueduct Park to see the ancient aqueducts. After taking the Metro line to Guilo Agricola stop, we walked down the Viale Giulo Agricola with its tree-lined median toward a large church (Parrochia di si Policappo). Check out the little cafes along the way for lunch or picnic fixings Turn right at the church and there is the Aqueduct Park. Walk along the ancient aqueducts some from the 1st Century. The park is a little scruffy but the aqueducts are very impressive. .
