If you’ve ever tried to navigate Rome’s underground wonders, you know it can feel like piecing together a puzzle, with scattered sites and limited access. With us, skip the line to these historic tombs and step into the Capuchin Crypts adorned with the bones of 3,700 friars. Visit Santa Maria in Cosmedin and Pope Hadrian’s Crypt, uncovering the stories of popes and martyrs buried below. With transportation included, this tour connects you to Rome’s most haunting and fascinating sites with ease.

Make your way to Piazza Barberini in central Rome, where you’ll meet your guide holding a sign in front of the fountain (Fontana del Tritone). Along with a small group of up to 25 people and your engaging guide, you’ll walk a couple of minutes to the Capuchin Crypts to view the hauntingly beautiful Bone Chapels. Afterward, board your air-conditioned vehicle to the entrance of the catacombs, about 20 minutes away. Along the way, you’ll pass the historic Appian Way as your guide shares stories ...

The tour was okay but it's hard to follow Rome in a Day tour with Kate with anything. Monica did a good job and we enjoyed seeing Rome from a bus and seeing the walls of the city the way they used to be so it was worth it but a bit of a letdown following the amazing day prior.

Sweet and very accommodating.

I took my mom on this tour because it went to all the places she wanted visit. She had some mobility issues, but did all the tours without any issues. They were very patient and accommodating with my group.

The tour was interesting, and our tour guides knew their stuff. Our initial group at the Crypts was a good size at 12, but for the Catacombs they merged two groups to create a larger group of over 20, which was a little too large given that once inside the Catacombs it was difficult to hear and see at the back of the pack. This was no fault of the guide, but strictly the size of the group. The addition of tour headsets for groups this size would help to alleviate this issue. The Crypts Tour can be done without a guide as you are provided self-guided headsets, but for the Catacombs portion the guide helpful re: all the information.

I have been to Italy a millions times since for the last 20 years and every time I come I see something new. This year we brought our 11 year old twins to see the splendor and booked the tour for the Catacombs - something my husband and I have never seen before. This was a great tour very informative and just the right length of time so you could see everything but not bore the kids! Matteo was terrific

Fascinating tour of both places with guides explaining detailed information on what we were witnessing. The small audio amplifier the guide was wearing was sometimes a bit difficult to hear if you were not close to it( in the Capuchin Crypt ). Both sites were amazing. The downloadable map of recommended eateries, etc. was a nice way to end the tour and much appreciated. I highly recommend this tour.

This was our first of 3 tours with the company and it really set the standard. The guide was called Davide (apologies if not spelt right). He is a teacher and was very knowledgeable. The tour included transport and was managed seamlessly from start to finish. The catacombs are a must see my 12 year old son loved the experience
