Trade Rome’s busy center for the Catacombs, the Appian Way, and ancient countryside landmarks on this guided three-hour walk.

About this tour

Leave Rome’s crowded center behind and discover the quieter landscapes and ancient landmarks of the Italian countryside. This three-hour Rome countryside walk brings together underground history, open-air ruins, and one of the city’s most storied roads.

Explore the Catacombs of San Callisto, then follow the Appian Way through a landscape shaped by centuries of Roman history. Along the route, see the ancient structures of Circus Maxentius and the Claudian Aqueduct. The Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella is viewed from outside. An expert guide and transfer service are included, making it easier to focus on the scenery and stories along the way.

The Rome countryside walk begins near Cavour metro station, with a meeting point at Via Cavour 224. Arrive 25 minutes before departure. Much of the visit takes place underground in narrow spaces, and photography is not allowed inside the Catacombs. Choose this outing for a change of pace and a close-up look at Rome beyond its busy streets.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.86 from 7 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 6.7.
