Want to uncover all of Rome’s Secrets? Our Private Rome Catacombs tour will help you do just that! If you want to discover the true essence of the Eternal City, you’ll need to go beneath it. With a local, expert guide you and a group of your closest pals will get off the beaten path to explore the underground passageways that make up the largest catacombs in the Italian capital.


Of course Rome is full of history, but on this tour we’ll discover the darker side of the city–literally. Dark history fans will love exploring the depths of the city and the more mysterious parts of Roman history. By digging downwards into the ancient labyrinth of tunnels, you’ll learn about the fascinating origin story of the Domitilla catacombs.


Your guide will meet you outside and give you a quick overview of the tour before making your descent. This private tour is a chance to ask all of your burning questions and get information that is relevant to your group, while skipping the information that isn’t. These tunnels are sacred and an integral part of the Christian and Roman faiths and your guide will tell you stories of the ancient Christian rituals that were held underneath the bustling city streets. And because these tunnels are still a sacred place of rest for more than 150,000 bodies, you’re sure to feel a spooky atmosphere as you explore them.


The price of the tour includes entrance into the tunnels and the knowledge of your dedicated guide who will help your private group navigate Rome’s darkest, largest catacombs. Book now for the experience of a lifetime.
