What you can expect

In a small group of MAX 6 people guaranteed, travel back in time during a guided tour of one of the largest Catacombs in Rome! A knowledgeable expert guide will usher you to a series of sites that reveal ancient Rome's turbulent relationship with Christianity, in addition to introducing you to jaw-dropping artwork from the first millennium.

Meet your guide near the Basilica di San Clemente and begin your tour with an intriguing foray beneath the cathedral's foundations. Underground, discover the dimly lit relics of a 4th-century church and a 2nd-century pagan temple. All the while, your guide provides precise commentary on the history of organised religion in ancient Rome.

The history lesson continues during a pre-booked taxi ride to the Catacombs of Pricilla, where you will explore the many layers of it's past - the first level dating all the way back to the 2nd century! These Catacombs were the burial grounds for many early popes and martyrs, as well as many of Rome's first Christians regardless of social status. Uncover the graves hidden in narrow passageways, and learn the history of one of Rome's tumultuous times.

At the end of the tour a taxi will be waiting for you to bring you back to the city centre.
