Rome Bone Crypts and San Clement Underground 2 hr

Discover Rome beneath its familiar streets on a journey through bone-lined chapels and centuries of hidden history. This 2-hour Rome Bone Crypts and San Clement Underground tour begins at the Capuchin Crypt Museum, where the remains of thousands of monks form striking, symbolic designs across the crypts. Explore the chapels, including the Crypt of Skulls and its hourglass, before continuing through the city past the Colosseum, gladiator training grounds, and the ruins of Nero’s Golden House.

At San Clemente Basilica, descend through Rome’s past one layer at a time: from the 12th-century basilica to a 4th-century church and a 2nd-century Mithraic temple. Along the way, take in Byzantine mosaics, early Christian frescoes, and an ancient fountain that still flows. An English-speaking guide brings context to these remarkable sites, connecting the sacred, the unsettling, and the everyday life of ancient Rome.
