Overview

In the intimacy of a semi-private group with MAX 6 people guaranteed, or in the luxury of your very own private group, travel back in time and experience Ancient Rome's underground levels on this extensive catacombs tour. With the assistance of your expert guide, make your way through the various narrow passageways and tombs, graves to many of Rome's earliest Christian citizens. Witness amazing artwork still visible on the walls from the first millennium, and be enveloped by the sacred, and also a bit creepy, atmosphere of these underground tunnels.
Here you will hear a different story, that of the Rome that is still buried underground, uncovering its turbulent relationship with Christianity in its earliest years.

If you want a personalized and exclusive experience, book your very own Private Tour, 30 minutes longer and includes a visit to the Capuchin Crypt!
You can choose your selection upon booking.

The Catacombs visit will be in a larger group, led by their official guides.

This exclusive tour will visit two amazing sites, learning the secrets of the many layers of Rome.

Your tour begins at the beautifully preserved Basilica of San Clemente where we descend over five stories underground.

We had a great guide. Massimo was absolutely brilliant. It was such an interesting trip. We really got so much knowledge from Massimo and felt that we walked away with a true understanding of real Roman history. Great trip.

The thing I like about these small groups is that you have the chance to change things up, ask questions, and personalise your experience. Our guide. Dario, had the same music taste as us so as well as a great tour, we got all sorts of hints and recommendations for things specifically of interest to us. We had a similar experience with other LivTours that we took. I would thoroughly recommend using this company.
