Priscilla Catacombs to Borghese Gallery

The English tour at Priscilla Catacombs at 10 am is said to last 30 minutes. We plan to use apps itTaxi or FreeNow to call a taxi. We'd like to reach the Borghese Gallery by 11:10 for a tour. Is this timing too dicey or should we schedule for a noon tour instead at the Borghese? Thanks for your opinions!

Is 11:10 the time of your tour? Don't they request that you arrive in advance of your appointed time? Even though the two locations are in close proximity, I'd feel better with the tour at noon.

Google maps says the drive is less than 10 minutes. So, if the tour ends on time, and if it's a short walk out to the pick up point, and if the taxi shows up quickly after you call, and if there are no traffic tie ups en route, and if there's no long line ahead of you at the gallery entrance, then you should be fine. Me, I'd pick a later time and relax in the gardens while I waited.

I especially had to laugh at Jean's reply. A lot of "ifs". We considered the noon time as well without the tour. Thank you, for taking the time and effort to reply to a silly question that should seem like a no-brainer!
