Follow the ancient Appian Way, explore Roman catacombs, and admire aqueduct arches on a guided countryside escape from Rome.

About this tour

Leave Rome’s busy streets behind and follow the ancient Appian Way into the countryside, where Roman history unfolds among underground burial tunnels and monumental aqueducts. This three-hour Rome Catacombs and Roman Countryside Walking Tour pairs a guided visit with a bus transfer, making it easier to explore landmarks beyond the city center.

Visit the Catacombs of San Callisto or San Sebastiano, two of Rome’s notable burial sites, and discover their labyrinthine passageways with a professional guide. Above ground, take in the antique arches of Rome’s mighty aqueducts and learn about the engineering and civilization that shaped this landscape. Admission to the Catacombs of San Callisto is included; headsets are available upon request.

Wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees, as the catacombs enforce a strict dress code. With ancient roads, countryside scenery, and remarkable remains all in one outing, this Rome Catacombs and Roman Countryside Walking Tour offers a memorable way to see another side of the Eternal City.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.33 from 411 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 4.1.
