About this tour

Step beneath Rome’s streets to explore the Catacombs of Saint Sebastian, then follow the story of an ancient route across the Appian Way. This 3-hour private tour pairs an expert guide with skip-the-line tickets for a closer look at two remarkable chapters of Roman history.

Descend through a vast network of underground tunnels, where you can see ancient frescoes, crypts with inscriptions carved into their walls, niches, small mausoleums, sarcophagi, tombs, and chapels. The catacombs reveal how Jewish and Christian communities cared for and honored the dead over centuries. Above ground, discover the Ancient Appian Way, one of the earliest and most important roads of the Roman Republic, once connecting Rome with Southern Italy.

Your guide will meet you holding a sign with your name. Pickup and drop-off are not included, and travelers should be prepared for a moderate level of physical activity.

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.
