Peel back the layers of Roman history—quite literally—with a thrilling exploration of its underground tombs and chapels. See thousands of artistically displayed bones in the crypt of Santa Maria dell’ Orazione e Morte during an exclusive visit just for your small group. Although it might appear macabre, your expert guide will tell you why the early Christians in Rome actually consider the display life-affirming. Next up is the Roman Catacombs, home to stunning frescoes and thousands of centuries-old bones. Learn about early Christianity from your guide while meandering the endless darkened tunnels. An expert guide, private transportation via minibus, and a small group of 18 people or fewer means your only responsibility is to immerse yourself in the thrills and wonder of Rome.

It was interesting and educational to hear about the crypt and to see burial sites. The church is also beautiful.

Antonella was an amazing tour guide! So knowledgeable and passionate about Roman history. I really enjoyed this tour. We started with a short walk from the meeting point to a beautiful church with a bone crypt. Very interesting and Antonella gave us great, interesting information and broke it down so it was easy to understand. She didn’t just rattle off facts - she told stories and gave background. Next we boarded a bus and drove for about 30 minutes to the Catacomb of San Sebastian. Fascinating tour led by a Vatican guide. Antonella met us in the church when we were done with the catacomb tour and filled in some other information for us. Then it was back on the bus and back to the meeting point. It was a quick tour overall - only 3 hours - but a good tour nonetheless. Antonella pointed out things on the bus as we were driving, so there was some great sightseeing, too.
