This is a must see while in Rome. It is an hour tour filled with history and information. Hoping that the tour can last many centuries more or forever for future generations to learn about the sacrifices of the Capuchins for the sake of human kind, but it may not. God bless the Capuchins.

We had been to the Crypts before many years ago, but it was great to see them again with an excellent guide this time. Slob (yes - that was his name!) made the tour very interesting while also injecting humor into the experience. Slob was also very knowledgeable about the bones, monks, and history of the church. We highly recommend you tour the Capuchin Crypts with a guide.

Like many others have said, Slob is an engaging and entertaining guide but he also does a great job of contextualizing a curious piece of Roman history. While he clearly knows his history, his presentation was engaging, fresh, and informative. Not only that, he makes excellent dad jokes... As for the Capuchin Crypts, it is a small (and mercifully uncrowded) space but packed full of history. Going with a guide was very helpful because without one, I suspect the experience would have felt overwhelming and it would have been harder to place the significance of the site within the greater history of Rome. TL;DR would very much would recommend both the guide and the crypt!
