Overview

In the intimacy of a semi-private group with MAX 6 people guaranteed, or in the luxury of your very own private group, travel back in time and experience Ancient Rome's underground levels on this extensive catacombs tour. With the assistance of your expert guide, make your way through the various narrow passageways and tombs, graves to many of Rome's earliest Christian citizens. Witness amazing artwork still visible on the walls from the first millennium, and be enveloped by the sacred, and also a bit creepy, atmosphere of these underground tunnels.
Here you will hear a different story, that of the Rome that is still buried underground, uncovering its turbulent relationship with Christianity in its earliest years.

If you want a personalized and exclusive experience, book your very own Private Tour, 30 minutes longer and includes a visit to the Capuchin Crypt!
