Explore Rome’s ancient catacombs with a licensed guide, priority entry, and shared minivan transport on this 90-minute underground visit.

About this tour

Step beneath Rome’s busy streets and enter the quiet passageways of the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, a 3rd-century Christian cemetery and resting place of martyrs and popes. This Rome Catacombs Tour pairs an underground visit with shared transportation, making it easy to reach this remarkable site beyond the city center.

Meet your English-speaking host outside the Basilica of Santi Cosma and Damiano, then travel by minivan to the catacombs. A licensed guide leads you through ancient tunnels, burial chambers, and frescoes while sharing stories of early Christian life and Rome’s sacred past. Your host accompanies you to and from the site, and priority entrance tickets are included. The visit is scheduled at St. Callixtus; on Wednesdays or during extraordinary closures, the tour visits the Catacombs of St. Sebastian instead.

Discover a hidden chapter of the city with the Rome Catacombs Tour. Book your visit for a memorable journey into early Christian Rome.

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.
