catacombs of st. john (catacombe di san giovanni)印象

Short and a bit rushed tour of the catacombs was a bit overpriced, but still very interesting to see and gets you out of the steaming heat for a bit. The restrooms are somewhat hidden which you see a small sign at the end of the tour. We got scolded like children trying to backtrack to access them. After paying the fee and our guide clearly posturing for a tip, getting yelled at was neither appreciated nor necessary.

The dead from past centuries were buried in these extensive catacombs. Great well explained tour starting every 30 minutes. Well worth a visit.

We went on a guided tour of these catacombs on a Sunday morning. The Italian guide repeated her information in English. She spoke good English and included the history of the catacombs through various periods of their history. We were surprised at how extensive the catacombs were. The normal entrance fee is €8 but we got a €3 reduction having visited the Duomo the day before.

The tour was very well conducted with an excellent guide. Really interesting to see all these ancient relics. Was well worth being underground on a hot afternoon

The visit was a bit of an anti-climax. Having visited the Catacombs in Paris I often made comparisons between the two. You aren't able to explore at your own pace here and there isn't reading material to read. Instead your pay a high fee to be escorted around and told the history in Italian and English. Unfortunately I found the poor commentary costly for a half a hour tour. I would recommend if you are visiting you should bring a cardigan or jumper as it gets colder than expected.

Highlight of the 4 days in Syracuse for me - you need to go with the guide (40 mins) and pay the entrance but worth it! Huge network and interesting history well explained by the guide

There is a tour about a half hour long that is very informative. It's a worthwhile quick stop in Siracusa. Not the largest catacombs I've been in, and fyi you can't take pictures in the catacombs, but I enjoyed the visit. Would give it 3.5 stars.

I had always wanted to visit "the catacombs" and decided to take an hour and stop at the Catacombs of San Giovanni on our way out of Siracusa. These were catacombs that were built in 300's AD to bury the dead. They were not hiding places for the early Christians. the tour in English was very good and informative. Well worth the stop.

This tour was fascinating and definitely worth it. We visited after the Parque della Neapolis as it's an easy walk between the two. The catacombs are huge; you only get to see a small area on the guided tour. I would have loved to see more. The friendly guide did the tour in Italian & English and explained details such as how the burial areas were arranged, what types of families would be placed in each one, what kind of decorations they would use. She was very knowledgeable. The tour was about 45 minutes. You are not allowed to take pictures inside, unfortunately, and also there are no longer any bones - just empty graves. Well worth a visit!

We visited the catacombs and were part of a small group of tourists. If we had not done some research on our own, we would have not gotten the full understanding of the catacombs. We requested an English speaking guide. We were the only English speaking tourists in our group. The guide explained each part of the catacombs to the Italian speaking tourists first. It was quite a lengthy explanation and then she spoke to us - that took about one minute. We felt like we were not getting the full explanation. We asked questions and the guide did not answer them. I'm not sure if she was well versed or she just did not want to answer our questions. It was an incredible structure and I'm glad we did our homework. The guide was the downfall of our visit.
