Explore Rome’s Capuchin Crypts and an early Christian catacomb, with an expert guide and round-trip transport from central Rome.

About this tour

Rome’s most gripping history lies beneath its streets. On this Rome Catacombs and Capuchin Crypts Group Tour, explore haunting bone-lined chapels before traveling by private round-trip transport from central Rome toward the ancient Appian Way. Along the route, pass the Aurelian Walls, then descend with an expert guide into one of the city’s early Christian catacombs. Depending on opening days, your visit may be to the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, St. Sebastian, or Domitilla.

Timed entry and an audio guide are provided for the Capuchin Crypts, while your guide brings the underground chambers and their history to life. The tour lasts 210 minutes and meets at Piazza Barberini, in front of the Fontana del Tritone. Arrive 10 minutes early and look for the representative holding a The Tour Guy sign. Wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees; the sites require it for entry. Catacomb visits can vary, so come ready to discover a different side of Rome. Book your place and follow the city’s story below ground.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.56 from 997 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • 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: this tour scores 5.0.
