This is a wonderful tour, so interesting, you can imagine yourself stepping back in time and experiencing living life many centuries ago. Our tour leader was brilliant.
Our last tour in Rome was on May 23 with Vincenzo. He was very knowledgable and well-spoken, We went to the Catacombs of Domitillo. The small underground chapel was interesting and the 30 minutes we spent looking at the catacombs was informative, but only 4 of our group of 5 could see what he was pointing out. Perhaps I expected more, but there wasn’t much to see. We spent most of our time in the Basilica of St. Clemente that was fascinating, but even more in the Temple of Mithras below which seemed to mean the most to our guide. The guide was good, but the tour itself just didn’t have that much of interest compared with other experiences in Rome over 10 days. Perhaps I should have read more about the catacombs, but I expected to learn more about the lives of the people interred there. All the remains were removed centuries ago.
