Explore ancient buildings, paintings, and catacombs beneath Rome with an expert guide on this revealing 210-minute underground tour.

About this tour

Step beneath Rome’s busy streets and discover a city hidden in plain sight. On this 210-minute Rome Underground Tour, an expert English-speaking guide leads you through ancient and early Christian sites, where remarkably preserved buildings and paintings reveal layers of history below the modern city.

The route includes several 10- to 15-minute walks between locations, along with some steep staircases. You’ll visit the catacombs, though the specific site can vary: on Tuesdays, another catacomb replaces Santa Domitilla. The Roman Houses are also replaced by Santi Cosma and Damiano Church on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Skip-the-line access helps you spend more time exploring, and groups of six or more receive headsets to hear the guide clearly.

Meet at the entrance to the Basilica of St. Clement, across from Hostaria I Clementini on Via di S. Giovanni in Laterano, 106. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and get ready to see Rome from a fascinating new perspective. Book your Rome Underground Tour and uncover the stories beneath the streets.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.71 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 7.0.
