Overview

Visit Rome's underground attractions, including the Catacombe di Domitilla and Vicus Caprarius or the Basilica of San Clemente, full of surprises, many of which you're unlikely to learn about if you visit on your own. Instead, join a guide to explore these subterranean realms and learn about the history and significance of these ancient attractions as you explore what lies below.

Your guide leads you through each site, sharing insights and context you wouldn't easily piece together on your own. Move at a comfortable pace as you take in these hidden layers of the city, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions along the way.

Please note: You will enjoy an independent visit to either Vicus Caprarius or the Basilica of San Clemente (subject to change for operational reasons).

This small-group experience includes transportation, all admission tickets, and a live guide for the Catacombs.

What to expect

  1. Catacombs Of St. Sebastian
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Step into the hidden world beneath Rome and explore the Catacombs of San Domitilla, one of the oldest and most extensive underground burial sites. Starting from our Show Me Italy office at Via dei Serpenti 114, embark on a guided tour through a part of the vast 180-mile network of tunnels, where early Christians sought refuge and laid their loved ones to rest. Your expert guide will share captivating stories of religious persecution, burial rituals, and the rise of Christianity in Rome. Marvel at 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.
