Dark Rome Crypts and Catacombs Tour

Hello,
Does anyone have experience taking the Dark Rome Crypts and Catacombs tour? It is offered on the day we could do it. (Other vendors have fewer available dates.) I am thinking our teenage daughters would really enjoy this sort of tour with an guide that provides a good deal information and background. I would love to hear from anyone that has done this tour.

I went on a very similar tour with Walks of Italy In October 2013, and it was very good. Given that the tour included a private bus from site to site, I think it would have been much more time-consuming and difficult to visit the same sites independently. I consider the three sites to be "second tier" for most people, compared to top tier Vatican, Colosseum, Borghese, Parthenon, major piazzas, etc. Given all the skeletons in the Cappuchin Crypts, I think this might appeal more to teenage boys than girls, but different strokes for different folks, and I'm probably just being an ole sexist. I have also gone on other Dark Rome tours, and those were very good too.
