Guided Tours

Catacombs of St. Sebastian Guided Tour with Aqueducts & Appian Way

Walk the ancient basalt stones of the Appian Way, the legendary “Queen of Roads” once used by generals, nobles, and traders.

Take in the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella — the grand tomb of a powerful aristocrat whose family held major sway in late Republican Rome.

Stand beneath the soaring arches of Rome’s monumental aqueducts, extraordinary engineering works that kept the ancient city alive and thriving.

Venture into one of Rome’s most meaningful catacombs at last entry, usually the devotion-rich complex linked with centuries of pilgrimage, though some departures may visit the atmospheric Domitilla tunnels instead.

Travel effortlessly between these historic sites aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned minibus.

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.

What to bring

A light jacket helps—underground temperatures stay pleasantly cool.

What’s not allowed

Photography

Accessibility

Stairs and uneven floors make the tour unsuitable for wheelchair users or those with mobility challenges.

The catacombs visited may be San Sebastiano or Domitilla depending on scheduling; both include guided entry with an official expert.
