We had an amazing time at the underground catacombs and seeing the places where persecuted believers in Jesus Christ were buried and had fellowship and prayer! It was so incredible! Our bus driver Alessandro was truly amazing. He made it so much fun and unforgettable the way he did the tour on the bus to and from the catacombs - we enjoyed having him very much! Our tour guide in the catacombs was great as well! Lord Jesus bless you!

Alex our bus driver was the best! very friendly and informative- loved having him tell us about our surroundings. After our tour he recognized which people belonged to the group as well, great service! The only thing we would recommend is a microphone! If we hadn't been sitting close to the front we would not have understood much of what he was telling us of our surroundings.

The catacombs experience was outstanding, the tour is obviously a work of love to Rome, far from the usual tourist traps only interested in your money: the organizer goes out of his way to transfer to us a sliver of the deep love he has for his city.

Your experience

From the center to the outskirts

Ready to have your perception of Rome turned upside down? Your journey begins with round-trip transfers from the city center to the famed Catacombs of St. Callixtus along the historic Appian Way. With a guide, venture into these sprawling underground labyrinths where the dead rest. These were created in response to a shortage of land for the remains of the deceased, and evolving funerary practices as religions and cultures shifted through time.

The hidden depths of ancient Rome

Your friendly specialist guide will help you navigate through the subterranean maze while explaining the unusual history of Rome. These 2,000-year-old tunnels contain early Christian symbolism etched and frescoed onto the marble slabs guarding their loved ones' graves. Don't miss the Crypt of St. Cecilia, honoring the patron saint of music – believed to have invented the organ! Her evocative statue lies amidst biblical mosaics and reliefs. On Wednesdays, head to the Catacombs of Domitilla instead, admiring some of the most elaborate tombs in Rome.
