Rome's underground attractions, including the Catacombe Di Domitilla and Vicus Caprarius or the Basilica of San Clemente, hold plenty of surprises, most of which stay hidden if you visit on your own. Join a guide instead to explore these subterranean realms and learn the history and significance of these ancient sites as you make your way below. Ideal for history buffs after an in-depth experience.
Please note: You will enjoy an independent visit to either Vicus Caprarius or the Basilica of San Clemente (subject to change for operational reasons).
This small-group experience includes transportation, all admission tickets, and a live guide for the Catacombs.

1Catacombs Of St. Sebastian
Step into the hidden world beneath Rome with a visit to the Catacombs of San Domitilla, one of the oldest and most extensive underground burial sites. Setting off from our Show Me Italy office at Via dei Serpenti 114, you'll follow your guide through part of a vast 180-mile network of tunnels, where early Christians found refuge and laid their loved ones to rest. Your expert guide brings to life the stories of religious persecution, burial rituals, and the rise of Christianity in Rome. Along the way, take in ancient tombs, early Christian artwork, and beautifully preserved frescoes that offer a glimpse into the past.
