From the center to the outskirts

Ready to have your perception of Rome turned upside down? Your journey begins with round-trip transfers from the city center to the famed Catacombs of St. Callixtus along the historic Appian Way. With a guide, venture into these sprawling underground labyrinths where the dead rest. These were created in response to a shortage of land for the remains of the deceased, and evolving funerary practices as religions and cultures shifted through time.

The hidden depths of ancient Rome

Your friendly specialist guide will help you navigate through the subterranean maze while explaining the unusual history of Rome. These 2,000-year-old tunnels contain early Christian symbolism etched and frescoed onto the marble slabs guarding their loved ones' graves. Don't miss the Crypt of St. Cecilia, honoring the patron saint of music – believed to have invented the organ! Her evocative statue lies amidst biblical mosaics and reliefs. On Wednesdays, head to the Catacombs of Domitilla instead, admiring some of the most elaborate tombs in Rome.
