What people say, in short
Many visitors recommend the Catacombs of San Callisto, and several pair the visit with a bike ride along the Appian Way. A couple of visitors find the catacombs interesting, though one cautions that the Appian Way's cobblestones make cycling hard for older riders. One visitor found tours interrupted when groups overlapped underground and preferred the Catacomb di Priscilla, where only one guided group goes underground at a time.
