From here, you'll hop on a van to the catacombs. Once in the park of the catacombs, venture 16 meters below the surface into the otherworldly crypts of Domitilla. Explore the accessible part of its endless labyrinth of underground burial chambers laid out on 4 levels. Be captivated by ancient wall-paintings of mythological and biblical figures and discover the religious symbolism of the frescoes. Revive the shift of faith from paganism to Christianity and feel the power of prohibited belief while learning about early martyrs and persecutions. Live the excitement of gradually exploring different layers of history and complete your underworld experience in the 4th-century subterranean Basilica of Nereus and Achilleus.
Jump again on the minivan and be back in the city center in the blink of an eye.

We had an English tour with Daniel. It was phenomenal! We learned so much but never felt rushed.
Our guide Daniel made the experience very interesting and also cleverly entertaining.
Anazing lots of info. Great with children! Learned so much and he had a great respect for the dead and taking care of the property
This is an experience that I feel fortunate to have done. The catacombs are unbelievable, sacred, and a bit spooky. It was so amazing to actually experience so much history and to realize how extensive they were. We were fortunate to have a private tour, so no crowds and our guide was very knowledgeable!
Excellent! He walked slow and spoke slowly to allow us to understand him. Tour was great. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!
Ernesto was a guide full of interesting knowledge and gave us the best experience we had in Rome. The Basilica and the stories in it are amacing and beautifull.
Anestis was very polite, friendly and very knowledgeable about the catacombs. Would definitely recommend him for any one booking a guided tour. Thank you Wendy and Dean oct 7th 10.30 am tour
Ernesto was wonderful and very informative. He engaged my kids and kept them interested in learning about the Ancient Romans as well as the Trevi.
Our guide I believe his name was Ernesto if not mistaking, he was excellent, great facts and stories he shared. Enjoyed relaxing morning tour of Caracalla bath and Circus Maximus!
5 - Ernesto was outstanding. We absolutely loved this tour. We learned so much. It was transformative in our understanding of art in Trastevere. Bravo!!!
The views were amazing and Ernesto provided a great visual of how these places must have once looked. I would definitely recommend!
Ernesto was fantastic!! He spoke slowly and had a plethora of information. He walked slowly too, careful not to lose anyone in the group. Thank you so much!
We really enjoyed this catacomb tour! Our tour guide was Anestis and he was very knowledgeable and made it a great experience.
Anestis is a great storyteller, and this Tour was fantastic. We was in 2 churches, both of them is beautiful. It was a great experience.
Very nice experience. The guide shows great knowledge of the visit theme. I'll recommend this tour and tour guide to family and friends on my future visits
Wonderful tour along ancient city of Rome. Anestis provided really impressive exposition, which had put everything in context. It is so fascinating to be able to see 2000 years of history arm's length away. Highly recommend this tour
Anestis was a wonderful tour guide and we had a great experience learning about the Trevi fountain. Would recommend A++
great tour arnistis! interesting facts about the catacombs. a little fast however will come back for another longer tour
Anestis shared comprehensive knowledge about the early Christian catacombs. He was very informative and engaging as we walked down the catacombs. The tour was incredibly educational! We learned a lot about early Christian burials, including their decorations and symbols. We highly recommend this tour. Please note, you won't see skulls and bones here!
it was super cool on how they made the tombs and how it was able to remain in decent conditions for thousands of years. Really enjoyed it and it was 9/10 if I had to rate it
Our visit to the catacombs was great. We got a van ride that took us straight to the catacombs. Our tour guide Ernestos was super knowledgeable and hilarious, he made the visit very enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour!
Ernesto was wonderful at story telling the ancient Roman Empire and bringing the old ruins to life with his explanation of this history. I appreciated the personal experience and explanation of the Travis Fountain and La Citta Dell Acqua.
My tour guid was anestis. Very nice and gave me a lot of information about the history of the trevi fountain and also the museum of water located under ground. I would definitely recommend
Very nice tour, informed guide and was able to answer our questions. The tour was very cool and a nice break from the heat .
Anestes was great. Very informative and had lots of great answers to questions the group had. Would definitely recommend.
We had the most amazing experience! It was my birthday wish and it was just more than i could ask for! Our tourguide spoke german aswell! Unfortunately i forgot her name! but she was amazing!!
This was such a great tour! Paul was absolutely amazing and so full of knowledge, he taught us things we didn’t even know about! Quick and easy tour and it was great to be driven there too! Thank you!
Our guide was exceptional. His knowledge and delivery of his information was second to none. The visit was amazing but was opened up to us so much more by the guide's love and appreciation of the site! 5 stars!
Came from the west of Ireland and had Leonardo as a guide very enjoyable and definitely recommended.
Amazing visit!l, must do on a trip to Rome! Leonardo was such a brilliant your guide, so knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. :)
Visited on recommendation of friends from Ireland. Leonardo is a wonderful guide. He really knows his stuff, very professional and friendly. We learned so much, but it was fun and entertaining as well. Can't recommend highly enough.
Didn’t know what to really expect on this tour but it turned out to be very enlightening about how and why the Romans catacombs were there.
Incredible tour. Daniel really is an expert on the subject. And any question I had about literally anything about Roman history, he knew the answer. And he was funny, too. There's no way I would have been able to understand what I was seeing in the proper context on my own. 100% worth going on if you come to Rome.
Sam was a great tour guide. He was very calming it my nervous daughter. He showed us lots of little things I wouldn’t have noticed without a guide.
Our Tourguide Francesca was amazing! She explained everything so well! Not only has she a tremendous knowledge of history and rome but she managed to answer all of our questions! You could feel she really guides the tour with passion and love! The tour itself is very interesting and i love that you can see and feel the Catacombs! I was visiting rome with my sister and my das as a familytrip for my birthday. Would only book my tours with her as my guide!
Francesca did a great job. She belt my whole family interested and we loved the tour! Very professional! Just lovely.
Tour guide was not very pleasant and was trying to finish the tour as soon as possible. The tour was shortened by her. Even the driver noticed it. Being a great costumer of viator -this kind of service is not up to their standards.
Very informative and individual tour of the Catacombe Domitilla of Francesca. Highly recommended.
The tour was very informative and a lot of fun. The explanations were very thorough and no questions remained unanswered.
Our guide Ernesto was great! Super interesting tour, great job! It goes deep into catabombs and experiences virtually up close
Our guide Ernesto was great! The tour was very personal and Ernesto showed us everything very accurately. His explanations were very good and easy to understand. Transport went smoothly with a small bus.
We had our tour in the morning with our Giude Arnesto. It was very exciting and interesting. Arnesto had a pleasant pace and everything was understandable. We got some tips at the end. And liked it very much and recommend the tour.
Excellent guidance very informative. Lots of exciting fringe information. Were traveling as a small group. (4 people) combination pantheon and places outside around is very successful.
Was very informative the guide was speaking safely and knew a lot! Exciting to hear and very cool among the churches!
Very interesting guided tour with a great guide. Anestis has answered all questions and taught us history and stories excitingly.
We had a wonderful afternoon and Anestis (the man from Greece) explained everything to us very well, it was perfect. Thank you for the great tour and best wishes from the Austrians
The sought-after good organization has been combined with a great guide. Thanks Mario!!! You have made us enjoy the visit to the catacombs and San Clemente with your interesting, entertaining and fun explanations. Without a doubt, a highly recommended choice!
Francesca is a very friendly person. Their leadership was competent and characterized by a profound knowledge of the catacombs. We were very happy about her perfect knowledge of German.
