Very nice city tour that includes transport. Meetup spot is very convenient. Alberto was our guide and he is very passionate about the history and culture of Rome. Ask him anything! This tour is also family friendly. We brought out 12 y.o. and he loved it.

The museum was very interesting; the crypt was, as expected, spooky but also awe-inspiring. Thanks to the admission management, the crowds were kept under control. Unfortunately, the trip on the Hop-On Bus was marred by an excessively long stop at Termini.

Emiliano was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! So friendly, authentic, and with a wonderful sense of humor. We learned so many interesting things from him, and thanks to him we will always remember the Capuchin Crypt and the Catacombs as an outstanding experience. Highly recommended! ❤️ And Emiliano: we’re sorry we didn’t join the church visit afterwards, we were hungry, grumpy, and whining like little kids 🤣 so we thought we’d just visit it over the next few days instead. It truly had nothing to do with you. We would choose you again anytime as our tour guide in Rome! 🌷❤️

Our Catacombs tour was a great experience. Maria is an intelligent and funny guide. She is well rehearsed in the history of the area. She was captivatingly interesting to listen to. She was even kind enough to give additional directions to the subway at the end. We definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the Catacombs! Although no pictures are permitted in the catacombs there is plenty of other areas to take photos for memories.

Step into the shadows of ancient Rome with this expertly guided Crypts, Catacombs & Roman Undergrounds Tour. Experience centuries of history, art, and faith come alive as you uncover the city’s most hidden and haunting sites — without worrying about navigating on your own.

Getting started

Meet your expert guide at your central starting point for this underground adventure. After check-in, board a comfortable, air-conditioned coach for your journey into the depths of Rome. Please arrive 15 minutes before departure and keep your voucher handy for validation.

What to expect

Capuchin Crypt and Museum

Begin at the haunting yet beautiful Capuchin Crypt, home to Caravaggio’s St. Francis in Meditation. Walk through its museum, which traces the humble life of the Capuchin friars, before entering the “Bone Chapel,” where the remains of over 4,000 monks form ornate, symbolic displays.

Christian Catacombs

Next, venture deep beneath the city into the Christian Catacombs, a labyrinth of tunnels dating back nearly 2,000 years. Follow your guide through narrow passageways filled with frescoes, burial niches, and stories of faith and resilience from Rome’s earliest Christians.

Wrapping up

Your journey concludes back near central Rome, perfectly placed for onward exploration of the city's popular landmarks.

What to bring

A light jacket — temperatures in the catacombs are cool year-round.

Modest clothing covering shoulders and knees, as visits include religious sites.

What’s not allowed

Photography or videography inside the catacombs and crypts.

Large bags or bulky items that may obstruct narrow passageways.

Accessibility

The tour involves uneven terrain, steep stairs, and confined tunnels.

Unfortunately, it is not wheelchair-accessible and not advised for visitors with mobility issues.

Additional information

Arrive at the meeting point at least 15 minutes before departure.

Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.
