Touriks offers an intimate 90-minute private tour into these underground networks, introducing visitors to a world carved from tufa rock and layered with centuries of religious transformation. Descending nearly 16 meters below street level, this immersive journey bypasses crowded group tours, allowing for a focused encounter with the catacombs’ intricate wall paintings and sepulchral architecture.

What sets this experience apart is not just the descent into subterranean corridors, but the expert narration guiding you through Rome's early spiritual shifts—from pagan traditions to the rise of Christianity under a cloak of secrecy.

For adventurers seeking not just sights but stories etched in stone and shadow, Touriks delivers a standout chance to walk through history’s quieter veins. Engage with an underworld carved by faith and survival—one corridor, one fresco, one step at a time.
