Rome Ancient Sites Tour: Catacombs and Aqueducts, 4 hr

Follow the traces of Rome’s ancient infrastructure on a private journey beyond the city center. This 4-hour Rome Ancient Sites Tour brings together the enduring roadways, towering aqueducts, and underground burial places that reveal how Roman life extended beyond the city walls.

Walk along a stretch of the Via Appia, once part of a vast network linking Rome with distant parts of the empire. See the aqueducts that carried water to the capital and still shape the surrounding landscape. Then descend into the catacombs, where tunnels cut through Rome’s soft volcanic rock preserve a striking glimpse of the city’s ancient cemeteries. Private transportation and a private guide make it easier to connect these sites and focus on their stories. Catacomb admission costs €10 per person and is paid in cash to the guide.

Meet at the street-level exit of the Colosseo Metro B station, beside the newsstand. Choose this Rome Ancient Sites Tour for a closer look at the roads, waterworks, and subterranean history that helped define the ancient city.
