Itinerary

  • Basilica of San Clemente

    How do historians and archaeologists learn about Ancient History? By exploring underground of course! Over the past few centuries underground exploration has revealed a vast amount of sites ranging from cult Pagan temples to early Christian Catacombs. This exclusive tour will visit two amazing sites, learning the secrets of the many layers of Rome. Your tour begins at the beautifully preserved Basilica of San Clemente where we descend over five stories underground. You will learn about Medieval popes and secret Pagan rituals admiring artistic masterpieces from the 2nd century AD until the 15th century AD. Explore mysterious religions and even discover fresh water sources that lie deep in the earth!

This part of the visit will be in a larger group, led by one of the Catacombs official guides. Finally, at the end of the tour you will be driven back to the center of Rome by a pre-booked taxi.

Great guide!!!

Published on Jan, 2025

I learned so much from our guide, Chiara! She was very knowledgeable and shared interesting information along the way. She also gave us some tips for other places to go in Rome based on our interests.

Top notch

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent tour. Highly recommend our guide, Marco, for this or other tours. Very informative tour and Marco spent a lot of time with us paying attention to detail of architecture and other features.

Great tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour was incredibly in depth (literally), yet informative and fun. Brando was a great guide and we enjoyed our afternoon with him. Would highly recommend!

"Hidden" Gem!

Published on Jan, 2025

Cristiano was a very knowledgable tour guide--he was great, and we learned so much! So interesting to see the ancient churches and tunnels built beneath the city, a lesser-known attraction but a hidden gem, so to speak. We really enjoyed the tour!

Great experience
