Review of Syracuse’s Catacomb of St. John tour with VR viewer, including price, timing, guide quality, accessibility, and booking advice.
“Unfortunately, the tour started 40 minutes behind schedule. The guide’s English was only mediocre, which made it difficult to follow at times. While visitors are not allowed to take photos (even without flash), the guide ironically used a bright flashlight as a pointer directly on the frescoes.”
