About this tour

Beneath Rome’s busy streets, a quiet maze of ancient passageways preserves stories of early Christian life. On this Rome Catacombs Tour, follow an official guide underground to explore two catacombs and discover burial sites dating back to the 2nd century AD. The route reveals tunnels carved into soft volcanic rock, along with centuries-old frescoes, crypts, and inscriptions. As you walk, hear about the origins of Christianity in Rome and the faith, persecution, and hope reflected in these underground spaces. Entry tickets and guided visits to both catacombs are included, with pickup and drop-off provided. The tour is shared with other guests, as private visits are not available. Catacomb closures vary by weekday: San Sebastiano is closed Monday, Domitilla Tuesday, and San Callisto Wednesday. Your exact pickup time arrives the day before, so provide your accommodation name and address when booking.

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.
