Rome Catacombs Small-Group Tour 1 hr

To understand Rome’s early Christian history, head beneath the city streets. On this 60-minute Rome Catacombs Small-Group Tour, an expert historian guide leads you through ancient passageways in Rome’s largest catacombs. The underground network is associated with the first Christians and stretches for more than 17 kilometers, with over 150,000 bodies recorded within its tunnels.

As you explore, hear how the catacombs connect to the roots of Christianity and the rites and rituals that have endured through the centuries. With no more than 10 people in the group, you can follow the stories at close range and take in the atmosphere of these sacred underground corridors. Skip-the-line access is included.

Meet outside the Catacombs of Domitilla by the picnic benches, where you’ll find the yellow Carpe Diem Rome flag. Arrive 10 minutes early, as late arrivals are not eligible for refunds. Discover a quieter, deeper side of the city on this Rome Catacombs Small-Group Tour.
