Descend beneath Rome with a private archaeological guide, exploring San Clemente, the Capuchin Crypt, and Vicus Caprarius in four hours.

About this tour

Explore the hidden layers of Rome on a private four-hour journey through ancient churches, underground chambers, and evocative crypts. With a private archaeological guide and vehicle, Rome’s subterranean past comes into focus without the hassle of traveling between sites on your own.

Begin at the Basilica of San Clemente, where you descend through successive levels of history, from the medieval basilica to an earlier 4th-century church. Continue by vehicle to the Capuchin Crypt on Via Veneto, a remarkable Baroque space decorated with the remains of around 4,000 friars. Your final stop is Vicus Caprarius, before the vehicle returns you to your hotel. The tour includes a four-hour guide and admission fees; lunch and other extras are not included. Infant seats are available, though the experience is not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health and requires a moderate level of fitness.

Choose this Rome Crypt and Catacombs Tour for a compelling look beneath the city’s familiar streets, guided by an expert who brings its layered history to life.

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.
