Rome Private Sightseeing and Catacombs Underground Guided Tour with Transfer
Description
Private Rome Chauffeured Sightseeing and Catacombs Tour – Underground Experience with Tickets and Transfers Included
Discover one of Rome’s most fascinating and mysterious hidden worlds with this exclusive private guided tour of the ancient Catacombs — a journey underground like no other.
Accompanied by a licensed tour guide and private chauffeur, you’ll travel comfortably from the city center to the outskirts of Rome, along the Appian Way, one of the oldest roads in the world. Along the route, enjoy panoramic views and photo opportunities at iconic landmarks such as the Aurelian Walls, the Baths of Caracalla, the Circus Maximus, and more.
Once at the Catacombs, you’ll descend into a vast and surreal labyrinth of tunnels stretching over 150 kilometers — among the longest and most complex underground networks in the world. Your guide will lead you through sections of these ancient burial grounds where early Christians practiced their faith in secret.
Explore:
- Underground crypts, chapels, and small mausoleums
- Ancient frescoes, inscriptions, and sarcophagi
- Burial sites of martyrs, popes, and — according to legend — even apostles
Depending on the day, your visit will include one of Rome’s most important catacombs: San Callisto, San Sebastiano, or Santa Domitilla — each with its own story and unique architectural features.
