About this tour

Discover Rome’s underground Christian heritage, then follow the route of the Ancient Appian Way on a three-hour private tour. Your visit includes skip-the-line entry to one of the city’s remarkable Catacombs: St. Callixtus, St. Sebastian, or St. Domitilla. Inside, a guide arranged by the Catacombs staff leads your small group through the historic burial chambers.

Afterward, continue along the Ancient Appian Way and see the Cecilia Metella Mausoleum. A professional English-speaking driver takes you between stops in a licensed, insured, air-conditioned vehicle, with hotel pickup and drop-off included. The private portion can be customized if you request changes when booking, while the Catacombs visit remains a small-group experience. Catacombs guides are available in English, Spanish, or Italian.

See two sides of Rome’s past in one outing, from its ancient road to its underground history. Book your Rome Catacombs and Ancient Appian Way tour for a convenient, guided introduction to these memorable sites.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
