Explore two ancient catacombs beneath Rome with an official guide, uncovering early Christian tunnels, frescoes, crypts, and stories.
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. Choose this Rome Catacombs Tour for a compelling look at a hidden chapter of the city’s past.
