  • Catacombs of Saint Callixtus, Rome, Italy
    The Catacombs of San Sebastiano, also known as the San Sebastiano Catacombs, are one of Rome's most significant and well-preserved early Christian burial sites. Located along the ancient Appian Way, these underground burial chambers hold centuries of religious, historical, and artistic treasures. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, the catacombs served as a burial site for early Christians when above-ground cemeteries were forbidden. They are named after Saint Sebastian, one of Christianity's early martyrs, who was originally buried here. Descend into a labyrinth of underground tunnels spanning several levels. These galleries house thousands of niches once used for burials, adorned with inscriptions, symbols, and frescoes reflecting early Christian art and beliefs. Explore fascinating frescoes and carvings that depict early Christian symbols such as the fish (Ichthys), anchor, and Chi-Rho, which conveyed messages of faith and hope.

  • Via Appia Antica, Rome, Italy
    The Appian Way is one of the most famous and historic roads of ancient Rome, called the "Queen of Roads". Built in 312 BC by Appius Claudius Caecus, this road was a vital artery for Roman military and economic expansion, connecting Rome to the southern regions of Italy. Today, it is a serene and evocative destination that allows visitors to walk in the footsteps of history. The Appian Way played a critical role in Roman infrastructure, serving as a military supply route and a pathway for trade. It also witnessed historic events, such as the crucifixion of Spartacus’s followers along its path in 71 BC. Tombs and Mausoleums: Discover ancient burial sites, including the Tomb of Cecilia Metella, one of the most prominent and well-preserved mausoleums. The Appian Way is surrounded by lush countryside, ancient aqueducts, and pine-lined paths, offering a tranquil escape from the bustle of modern Rome.

  • Villa di Massenzio, Rome, Italy
    Built during the early 4th century AD by Emperor Maxentius, Today, the ruins of the villa remain an evocative and tranquil spot for history enthusiasts and curious visitors. The Villa of Maxentius was constructed by the Roman Emperor Maxentius (ruled 306–312 AD) as a luxurious retreat from the pressures of ruling the empire. The site is historically notable for its association with Maxentius's reign and his rivalry with Emperor Constantine. Maxentius was defeated by Constantine at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD, which marked a turning point in Roman history. One of the most striking features of the villa is the Circus of Maxentius, an ancient racing track that could hold over 10,000 spectators. It was used for chariot races, and its remains today are among the best-preserved examples of Roman circuses. The track is a stunning monument to the entertainment culture of ancient Rome.
    15 minutes
  • Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis, Rome, Italy
    The Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis is a small, historically significant church located along the Appian Way in Rome, Italy. This church is built on the site where, according to Christian tradition, Saint Peter had a vision of Christ during his flight from Rome to avoid persecution. The name "Domine Quo Vadis" translates to "Lord, where are you going?" — the words Peter allegedly asked Jesus in the vision. Inside the church, you can see the footprints of Christ, which, according to tradition, were miraculously imprinted on the stone at the moment of the vision. These footprints are considered a symbol of divine intervention and are a key attraction within the church. The church was built in the 4th century, during the reign of Emperor Constantine, though much of the structure was rebuilt in later centuries.

Our driver picked us up at our hotel right on time. He was very knowledgeable and supplied us with very interesting information. The catacombs are a must visit, the Appian Way is wonderful history and make sure you visit the ruins of the aqueduct. Great Excursion

This "tour" consisted of a car (a nice Mercedes) and a driver who spoke almost no English. He picked us up punctually and drove us to the catacombs and the Appian way and then back to the hotel. There was no commentary at all and we never saw any aqueducts or learned about the water system as indicated in the tour description. If you just want a car and driver to go to two locations this product is fine, but if you want a guided tour or are interested in seeing the aqueducts then look elsewhere. We were disappointed in Viator this time.
