Catacombs of St. Callixtus Ticket with Guided Tour

Explore the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, Rome’s “Little Vatican,” on a guided tour with skip-the-line entry and optional transfers and upgrades.

Getting started

Begin by meeting your professional guide at the catacombs entrance or, if you selected a transfers option, in central Rome for your round-trip ride. With your skip-the-line Callixtus Catacombs entry, you head straight inside without waiting for regular ticket queues. Your guide, available in English, Italian, German, French, or Spanish as per your selection, introduces the site and the route you will follow underground.

Catacombs of St. Callixtus

What to expect

These are among Rome’s largest and most important early Christian burial sites, often called a “Little Vatican” for their size and historical significance.

Features

• Use your skip-the-line Callixtus Catacombs entry to access the underground complex quickly, avoiding general admission lines.

• Join a guided tour of the Callixtus Catacombs and walk along tunnels lined with ancient burial niches, early Christian symbols, and areas used for worship.

• Follow an expert guide in your chosen language, with English, Italian, German, French, or Spanish-speaking guides available as per option selected, for context on how these galleries were used and preserved.

• If you selected a variant with round-trip transfers, travel between central Rome and the catacombs in a dedicated vehicle, returning to the same central area after your tour.

Capuchin Crypt (upgrade option)

What to expect

Some English-guided options include entry to the Capuchin Crypt, a burial space known for its bone displays and reflective atmosphere.

Features

• Travel with transfers between the Catacombs of St. Callixtus and the Capuchin Crypt if you choose an option that includes both sites.

• Use your Capuchin Crypt entry with audioguide to explore at your own pace, listening to commentary that explains the history, layout, and meaning behind the crypt’s chapels and displays.

• Complement the guided catacombs visit with this self-guided crypt experience, which focuses on themes of mortality, faith, and the Capuchin order.

Appian Way golf cart tour (upgrade option)

What to expect

Select the semi-private Appian Way Golf Cart Tour option to add an open-air ride along one of ancient Rome’s most important roads plus catacombs entry.

Features

• Join a guided golf cart tour of the Catacombs and Appian Way, allowing you to cover more ground than on foot while remaining close to the surroundings.

• Travel in a small group tour, up to 14 guests, with an English-speaking driver guide who points out remains of ancient structures and explains the Appian Way’s role in Roman history.

• Benefit from a catacombs entry ticket included in this option, combining surface-level views of the Appian Way with time inside the underground burial site.

• Stay refreshed with a bottle of water provided as part of the semi-private golf cart experience.

Wrapping up

At the end of your guided tour inside the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, you either return to central Rome with your round-trip transfers or depart from the site to continue exploring on your own. To extend your experience, you can choose variants that add Capuchin Crypt entry with audioguide or a small-group, semi-private golf cart tour of the Catacombs and Appian Way with an English-speaking driver guide, small group size of up to 14 or 25 guests as indicated, and a bottle of water included where specified.
