Guidekin's take

The two underground classics in one afternoon: the bone lined chapels of the Capuchin Crypts, then a drive out along the Appian Way to one of the early Christian catacombs, with round trip transport from the centre.

Transport, guide, the crypt entry with audio guide and the catacombs visit are included at €57 per person, pickup and tips are not.

In our comparison: #44 of 46 in Catacombs & Underground Rome, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
