Started at the Capuchin Crypt - Museo where we looked through the museum and then went to the Capuchin Crypt aka 'Bone Chapel' - a unique burial site covered in the bones of 4,000 friars. This site has bones decorating the crypt, walls and ceiling. No photography allowed. Next was a small bus ride for the 6 passengers to Catacombs of Domitilla. Again no photography allowed. Here we were taken on a guided tour by the people at the Catacombs. There are miles of tunnels and they have only explored a small part of the site. There are very few bones left in these catacombs and the ones that are in the graves and not art like at the crypt. Next was a drive down part of the Appin Way (Via Appia Antica) and over to the Aqueducts where we were allowed to take photos. The Aqueducts are a very interesting site. Taken back to Rome on bus and drop at a location that was not where we had started from so we then had to work out how to get home including public transport system but walked.

The sights are highly recommended. Unfortunately, the group size was simply too large for the premises. This created an unpleasant crowd that was really annoying for other visitors. At the catacombs, the group was even larger, but the tour was still done without headphones. So you couldn't hear a lot of things and it was not possible to always be in the same room with the guides. It's a pity, because a guided tour where you don't understand anything - you can go through it alone. So you have an unpleasant crowd, but little information. However, the guide did a very good job. If the group had been less than 10 people, it would have been ideal.

One of the best tours I've ever done, not only moving because of the feeling of deep respect generated by observing the farewell experience since time immemorial, but also because of the vast knowledge of our guide Riana that made the whole experience unforgettable. Knowing that some aqueducts are still in use and observing them is also fascinating.
