About this experience
Explore two iconic sites on this VIP night-time private tour: the Catacombs of Saint Agnes and the papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Travel by private chauffeur to discover the subterranean, ancient Christian burial chambers, 7th-century basilica of Saint Agnes, and the 4th-century Mausoleum of Constantia, daughter of the Emperor Constantine. Then drive to Santa Maria Maggiore for an after-hours tour of this beloved basilica. You'll not only tour the main church, but visit the upper Loggia overlooking the piazza. Admire its golden mosaics alight at night, and step onto the roof terraces with an amazing vista over Rome’s skyline!

ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY
When you book a LivTours Small Group Tour, you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people. Please bear in mind though that in order to accommodate traveling families and friends, we do on rare occasion make the exception of adding an additional one to two guests in order not to split groups who are traveling together. On that same note, you may find yourself on tour with less than six people. As we accept bookings in multiples of six, math doesn’t always work in our favor to help accommodate individual travelers and their families when on the same tour, so we hope you understand and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
