What to expect

  1. Catacombs Of St. Sebastian
    1h · Admission ticket included
    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.
  2. Vicus Caprarius – the City of Water
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Enhance your Rome experience with a visit to Vicus Caprarius – The Water City. Just steps from the Trevi Fountain, this underground site offers a unique look at ancient Roman life and water systems.

    It's self-guided, and we'll provide the entry tickets — a small add-on that leaves a big impression.
  3. 30m · Admission ticket included
    Enjoy an independent visit to the Basilica of San Clemente, where you can explore three layers of history: a 12th-century basilica with stunning mosaics, a 4th-century church beneath it, and an ancient Roman house and Mithraic temple at the lowest level.
