About this experience

This underground tour of the Catacombs takes you deep into the unusual and hidden history of Rome, far below its busy streets and towering monuments, revealing the city’s concealed side.
The itinerary includes some of the most uncommon and mysterious sites of the Eternal City.

A panoramic open-top bus transfers you from the city center to the underground area of the Roman Catacombs. This extensive network of tunnels, stretching beneath the city, once served as both a burial ground and a place of worship for the first Christians in Rome. Accompanied by an expert guide, you will explore these sacred sites and discover their fascinating history.
