Skip the line to uncover the catacombs’ history
The coolest underground tour in Rome! Join a small group led by an irreverent, bilingual guide to explore the tunnels where early Christians were buried and a fourth-century church. Includes tickets.
Listing highlights
What you’ll do
Most of Rome’s history sits in plain sight, but the catacombs tell a different story—one you can only hear underground.
We’ll start our 2-hour tour in a 1,600-year-old basilica. With our tickets (included), we’ll skip the lines and head into the cool, carved passages to explore frescoes, symbols, and burial rituals. I’ll help you interpret everything you see before we resurface and finish with recommendations of what to visit next along the city’s ancient Appian Way.
This experience is hosted in English.

I’m an American who set down roots in Rome more than 20 years ago, earned my degree at the American University of Rome, and married into a Roman family. Guiding guests is my full-time work and passion. With a love of history, travel, and Italian cuisine, I use humor-rich storytelling to make ancient Roman society vivid, engaging, and unforgettable. I can’t wait to welcome you to the city I call home and share its many secrets.
