Guidekin's take

A night visit by chauffeur to two places most tours never reach after dark: the Catacombs of Saint Agnes with the Mausoleum of Constantia, then an after hours tour of Santa Maria Maggiore, in a group capped at six.

Chauffeur, skip the line tickets and the guide are included at €209 per person, food and hotel pickup are not. No children under seven.

In our comparison: #38 of 56 in Night Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
