About this tour

Step beneath Rome’s busy streets to discover the Catacombs of Domitilla, a vast network of burial chambers that reveals the story of early Christian Rome. This four-hour experience pairs an underground visit with your choice of another historic site, making the Rome Catacombs Underground Tour a compelling way to see the city’s past from below and above.

Travel by air-conditioned vehicle to and from the catacombs. Choose the San Clemente option to explore the Basilica of San Clemente, where successive layers reveal ancient churches, Roman buildings, and a first-century temple. Or select the Colosseum option for standard Colosseum admission with a multilingual audio guide, along with entry to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. The Colosseum Underground is not included. A professional guide and headsets are provided where applicable, and a disposable headset is supplied for the Catacombs audio guide.

Meet at Via Dei Serpenti 114 and arrive 15 minutes early; the start time may change, with updates sent by email. Choose the Rome Catacombs Underground Tour option that suits your interests and uncover a remarkable side of the Eternal City.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.36 from 316 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 4.3.
