Overview

Step into the shadows of history on an unforgettable guided tour of the Catacombs of Rome, where ancient passageways wind beneath the bustling streets of the modern city. Venture underground to discover a hidden world carved into soft volcanic rock—home to some of the earliest Christian burial sites, dating back to the 2nd century AD.
Led by an expert guide, you'll explore narrow tunnels lined with centuries-old frescoes, crypts, and inscriptions that reveal stories of faith, persecution, and hope. Learn about the origins of Christianity in Rome, the lives of the early martyrs, and the secret symbols used by believers during times of oppression.
This tour is both eerie and awe-inspiring, offering a rare glimpse into a sacred, silent world few ever see.
Whether you're a history lover, an adventurer, or simply curious about Rome’s hidden past, the Catacombs offer a powerful experience that brings ancient Rome to life—beneath your feet.
