- Description
- The tour starts in one of the city’s most interesting catacombs. The catacomb contains miles of creepy tunnels and the world’s oldest collection of bones. Your expert, guide, hand-picked for knowledge of the catacombs, will lead your small group of 18 people or fewer through these wonderfully historic and atmospheric tunnels, while telling you the story of early Christianity. Large groups simply can’t fit into these areas, so take advantage of this truly unique access.
- Next, you’ll head to one of the most singular and spine-tingling sights in Rome, the Capuchin bone crypt. The cemetery festooned with the bones and remains of some 4,000 Capuchin friars is a jaw-dropping display of life and death. Although it might appear macabre, you’ll learn why the monks actually consider the display life-affirming.
- To finish out the day in style we’ll visit perhaps one of the most spectacular sites in all of Rome - the Roman Aqueducts, where you’ll be given time to enjoy and understand this monumental landmark from a stunning vantage point.
- With comfortable, air-conditioned transport throughout, and a small group of 18 people or fewer, your only responsibility is to immerse yourself in the thrills and wonder of Rome.

- Short Description
- Peel back the layers of Roman history—quite literally—with a thrilling exploration of its underground tombs and chapels. Visit 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. Next up is the Capuchin Crypt, where you find the artistically displayed bones of 4,000 Capuchin monks.
There is as much history lurking beneath the streets of Rome as there is towering above it. On this tour we take you into its eerie, exciting, and strange netherworld to show you the most impressive sights.
We start at one of Rome's most off-beat and macabre attractions, the Capuchin Crypt, nicknamed "The Bone Chapel". These burial chambers for the Capuchin order of monks are literally decorated with the bones and mummified remains of some 4,000 dead monks. Although it may seem pretty creepy, your expert local tour guide will explain the world view of the Capuchins and by the end of your visit you'll understand why the monks have chosen such a unique (non)burial method.
Next, you'll head back to the early days of Christianity by stepping into one of Rome's catacombs, where the first Roman Christians buried their dead. The catacombs we visit for your tour will change depending on the day, but regardless of where we go, you'll be able to see ancient frescos, inscriptions carved into the walls, and the remains of mausoleums as you learn why these enormous cemeteries came to prominence for ancient Christians.
Following in the footsteps of Ancient Romans, you will drive along the famous Appian Way (Via Appia Antica) - a road dating back all the way to circa 300 B.C - where you'll take a moment at the Tomb of Caecilia Metella, one of the most well-preserved mausoleums in the city dating back to 1 B.C.
Finally, en route back to the city centre, you'll stop off at the spectacular Roman Aqueducts - a part of the city sadly missed by many visitors. Here you'll learn all about the feat of enginering considered one of the greatest achievements of the ancient world - and of course snap a photo or two with the impressive construction as your backdrop!
Although this tour moves all over the city, we take care of transportation with private, air conditioned transport; so all you have to do is relax and soak in the incredible sites of underground Rome. As you drive, your guide will regale you with extra context, helping you get the most from these usually indecipherable sights.

As visitors disperse for the evening, a peaceful atmosphere settles over Rome's San Sebastiano Catacombs. It's then - as the doors officially close to the public - that you and your small group will step inside for a VIP visit like no other...
The bodies might be gone, but that doesn’t mean you won’t feel a thrill of excitement as you become one of the first people to descend into the Catacombs after closing since the era of Imperial Rome. And because you’ll be there out-of-hours, you’ll have the passageways to yourself and won’t have any trouble hearing your guide as they divulge the dark stories of the birth of Christianity.
Learn why the Romans chose to take their burials ‘off site’ and discover some of the most intriguing artifacts and decorations that adorn the tombs with the help of a dedicated, expert Catacombs guide.
Following your fascinating VIP visit you’ll have time to reflect on all you’ve learned as you hop on a private, air-conditioned minibus and head to the Capuchin Crypt, better known as the “Bone Chapel”.
Festooned with the remains of some 4,000 deceased monks, the Capuchin Crypt is one of Rome’s most divisive destinations. Not for the faint of heart, the burial site is an eye-opening experience that is only truly understood - and, dare we say, enjoyed - with the help of a knowledgeable guide.
As you take it all in with your small group of 18 people or less, your expert guide will explain the monks’ interesting beliefs on life and death which motivated the creation of such a macabre memorial.
This special, VIP experience of Rome’s most interesting burial sites will no doubt leave a lasting impression - and one you’ll likely meditate on for years to come!
