Move from storied roads and imperial tombs to sweeping aqueducts, all in a tranquil final-entry catacombs visit.
Getting started
Meet your guide in central Rome, settle into your AC minibus, and head toward the peaceful countryside lining the Appian Way.
What to expect
Appian Way
One of the oldest roads in the world, lined with ancient tombs, villas, and tales of Rome’s earliest travelers.
Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella (exterior)
An imposing circular tomb that once guarded the Appian Way like a stone sentinel.
Ancient Roman aqueducts
Colossal arches stretching across green fields — the spine of Rome’s ancient water system.
The catacombs
Step into ancient underground corridors during a serene final-entry slot. Depending on the day, your tour will take you to brighter chambers, engraved pilgrim messages, and an atmosphere filled with Christian memory — or Domitilla’s vast maze with its frescoed rooms and subterranean basilica.
Wrapping up
Your visit ends after your time underground, followed by a relaxed ride back toward central Rome.
