Rome Catacombs Tour with Transfer

Meet your expert guide at Piazza Barberini

You meet your guide in central Rome, near the Fontana del Tritone. Your guide gives a brief introduction to the underground sites you are about to explore together before you begin the transfer.

Travel by minivan toward the catacombs

Settle into a comfortable vehicle and leave the city center behind. On the way, your guide points out stretches of the Appian Way and the Aurelian Walls, sketching how these ancient routes and defenses once shaped Rome’s edge.

Skip the line into Rome’s catacombs

At the Catacombs of St. Callixtus or the Catacombs of St. Sebastian, you use skip-the-line access to head underground without the wait. You follow narrow corridors lined with early Christian tombs while your guide explains how these cemeteries protected both faith and community.

Explore burial chambers and frescoed corridors

Deeper inside, you see small chapels, carved niches, and faded frescoes that hint at the hopes of the people buried here. You learn how symbols like fish and anchors helped early Christians mark their faith in a dangerous era.

Your tour finishes in Piazza Barberini

After your tour of the catacombs, enjoy seamless transportation back to Piazza Barberini in central Rome. You will be conveniently located near restaurants and public transit to grab a bite or easily head back to your accommodation.
