Discover Rome’s most fascinating underground treasures on this immersive journey through ancient catacombs, crypts, and hidden archaeological layers. Your tour begins at the extraordinary Basilica di San Clemente, a church that perfectly illustrates the stacked history of Rome. Here, centuries of life unfold beneath your feet—the 11th-century basilica sits atop a 4th-century church, which itself rests above the remains of a Roman nobleman’s home destroyed in the great fire of 64 AD. Walking through these layers is like travelling back through time, revealing how Rome was built and rebuilt across the ages.

Your next stop is the haunting yet captivating Capuchin Crypt, where the bones of more than 3,000 friars are arranged in intricate and symbolic displays. After this profound encounter, your driver will take you to the Catacombs of San Callisto, an extensive network of underground burial tunnels dating back to the 3rd century AD. As you explore these sacred passageways, your guide will illuminate the history of early Christianity and the rituals that shaped life—and death—in ancient Rome.
