About this tour

Explore two evocative landmarks of Rome’s Christian past on a guided visit to the Catacombs and Mamertine Prison. In the ancient catacombs, walk through underground passages once used as burial grounds and places of refuge by early Christians. Frescoes and inscriptions offer glimpses into the beliefs and lives of those who came before.

Continue to Mamertine Prison, one of Rome’s oldest historic sites. According to tradition, Saints Peter and Paul were held here before their martyrdom. A local host leads the group through the experience, while round-trip transportation connects the Catacombs with the rest of the visit. Entrance fees to both sites are included.

Meet your host in front of the Basilica of Santi Cosma and Damiano; look for a branded T-shirt. This two-hour Rome Catacombs and Mamertine Prison tour brings the city’s early Christian history into focus. Join the group and discover the stories beneath Rome’s streets.

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.
