Itinerary
Your tour begins at central Rome
You’ll meet your guide in central Rome. Look for the exact location on your booking voucher. After quick introductions, you'll set off on foot toward your first mysterious underground destination.
Walk to Santa Maria della Concezione
Stroll through Rome's historic streets as your guide shares stories about the Capuchin friars and the unusual artistic tradition you're about to witness. The short walk builds anticipation for what lies beneath the church.
Explore the five bone chapels of the Capuchin Crypts
Descend into five eerie chapels decorated with the skeletal remains of 3,700 Capuchin friars. You'll visit the Crypt of the Resurrection, Crypt of the Skulls, Crypt of the Pelvises, Crypt of the Leg Bones and Thigh Bones, and Crypt of the Three Skeletons. Your guide explains how these crypts symbolize mortality and the passage of life.
Private transport to the Catacombs of Priscilla
Hop into your comfortable private vehicle for a 15 to 25 minute drive to the northern outskirts of Rome. Relax as your guide continues sharing fascinating details about early Christian burial practices.
Explore the Catacombs of Priscilla
Explore the Catacombs of Priscilla like a VIP Watch as your guide unlocks the ancient gates to the "Queen of Catacombs" with a ceremonial key. You'll tour three sections—the Acilii zone, Greek Chapel, and Arenario—discovering biblical frescoes including what's believed to be the earliest depiction of the Nativity Scene.
