About

Enjoy a thorough and worry-free guided tour of the Roman Catacombs with a small group of a maximum of 16 participants and private transport.

Meet your guide in the city center and head towards the Appian Way on a comfortable minivan. Reach one of the largest and most ancient Catacombs of Rome and venture 16 meters below the surface into the otherworldly crypts of Domitilla. Explore the accessible part of its endless labyrinth of underground burial chambers laid out on 4 levels.

Be captivated by ancient wall-paintings of mythological and biblical figures and discover the religious symbolism of the frescoes. Revive the shift of faith from paganism to Christianity and feel the power of prohibited belief while learning about early martyrs and persecutions.

Live the excitement of gradually exploring different layers of history and complete your underworld experience in the 4th-century subterranean Basilica of Nereus and Achilleus. Jump on the minivan and be back in the city center in the blink of an eye.
