  • Museum and Crypt of Capuchins, Rome, Italy
    Your first destination is the Capuchin Crypt. Capuchin monks used the bones of nearly 4,000 of their brothers to decorate this somber space in intricate floor-to-ceiling designs, lending it the macabre nickname of ‘the Bone Chapel’. Here you will be free to explore hearing all the interesting details and the reasons behind such an unusual practice with your audio guide. Open your eyes to the city’s hidden side – and you’ll never see Rome the same way again.
    45 minutes
  • Catacombe di Santa Domitilla, Rome, Italy
    Your expert historian guide will explain how this network of sacred tunnels is associated with the first Christians in ancient Rome. You’ll descend into the labyrinthian corridors carved into the soft volcanic rock and discover the frescoes, strange iconography and burial places which doubled as places of worship when the Christians were persecuted.
    60 minutes
  • Basilica di San Nicola in Carcere, Rome, Italy
    When you exit the catacombs, your bus will take you to the Basilica San Nicola in Carcere, where you'll explore its ruins, descend beneath the altar, and unearth atmospheric remains of ancient temples hidden beneath the church. The historic Forum Holitorium, an ancient market surrounded by Republican-era temples, lies concealed beneath the basilica, adding layers to the city's rich history.

Our tour guide Vanessa led us to three different but interesting locations. In the first we saw lots and lots of bones and skeletons in six connected chambers. For the second location outside of Rome a bus brought us there and then we went underground into a dark maze of old graves. Welcome to the necropolis! Finally the bus carried us back to town, near the Colloseum and we went into a church which was built on a church which was built on a Roman villa which was transformed into a church. Hence the lasagna, because you have different layers stacked on eachother. Overall a very enjoyable tour with good knowledge transfer.

You are dropped off at a location different than where you were picked up and travel is very inconvenient and difficult

We had 2 guides, Paula and Laura, both were well informed and extremely easy to follow. They looked after us at all 3 stages of the tour and nothing was too much trouble. At all times they had excellent knowledge of the topic and also Rome as a whole. I would recommend using this company. (She also recommended Regolie as an excellent place to grab a local sweet treat!)
