Inside one of the most beautiful parks of the city you will be taken back to the ancient Romans time in a comforting ambience where the temperature does not exceed the 16° celsius degrees (about 60 fahrenheit). You will visit an ancient Roman quarry that extends underground for over 35 kilometers (about 21 miles). We will accompany you on a fascinating journey through the underground realities of the Eternal City to discover how slaves worked and let you experience the light of an ancient Roman lamp while exploring thousand-year-old catacombs!
But IT doesn't end here : the journey continues through a second world war mushroom farm until you reach a mithraeum, an ancient pagan temple of a now forgotten religion and in which Christianity has its roots. If you come to Rome, you cannot miss this place!
We'll give you a headlamp, a helmet, and take you on a journey of more than a mile into the city's historic dungeons. This is not a tour, but a truly unforgettable experience.

Under the city of Rome there are miles of tunnels dug to obtain the materials necessary for the construction of the imperial city which still jealously preserve their secrets. Then we will take you to know this underground world on whose walls you can still see the chisel marks of the ancient slaves who dug this place, often in exchange for their lives. You will discover an ancient past made of light and shadow, where history is written in every wrinkle of the walls, in every sign and in every niche. We will then enter the area of the catacombs where the first Christians bury their loved ones in tunnels for dozens of kilometers. We will give you the experience of crossing the darkness with an ancient Roman lamp and then reach what remains of a fungus dating back to World War II. Finally, you will visit a pagan temple dug into the ground where you will discover the secrets related to the spread of Christianity in ancient Rome.
