Follow the footsteps of ancient Romans on this hidden path with a guided tour. Enjoy the comfortable transfer in a minivan from our centrally located meeting point in Rome. Meet your tour guide at the entrance of the ancient Christian Catacombs. Unveil the secrets of this immense 2000-year-old underground cemetery spread over an area of approximately 15 hectares, 60 km long, where the first Roman Christians were buried.
Immersed in the Roman countryside, discover an endless maze of underground chambers and frescoes of mythological and biblical creatures. Admire ancient crypts rich in inscriptions carved into the walls, niches with the remains of skeletons, small mausoleums, sarcophagi, tombs, and small chapels, that even after 2000 years, are still used to celebrate religious rites. You will find the burial sites of famous martyrs, popes, and according to legends, even apostles.
The catacombs that are open to the public are the Catacombs of San Calixtus, Domitilla, and San Sebastiano. On our tour, we will visit one, depending on availability.
You have the option to add a unique food-tasting and wine-pairing experience in the heart of Trastevere. A special gourmet experience to taste the best Italian cheeses, cold cuts, and wine, served by passionate locals in a 600-year-old wine cellar. After the catacombs tour, your driver will take you directly to the meeting point for the food-tasting experience.
