Rome Crypts & Catacombs: Guided Tour with Bone Chapel Visit

Open your eyes to the city’s hidden side – and you’ll never see Rome the same way again.

First, you’ll visit the hallowed catacombs where, beneath their persecutors’ feet, early Christians practiced their forbidden faith. Almost 2,000 years ago, this network of secret tunnels doubled as a place of worship and burial ground.

From here, the coach will whisk you within sight of the Colosseum, to the Basilica of San Clemente.

Your final destination is the Capuchin Crypt. Capuchin monks used the bones of nearly 4,000 of their brothers to decorate this sombre space in intricate floor-to-ceiling designs, lending it the macabre nickname of "the Bone Chapel".

✔ Visit the spooky Capuchin Crypt, decorated with the bones of 4,000 Capuchin Monks

✔ See a painting by Caravaggio and relics from the life of St. Francis at the Capuchin Museum

✔ Explore 12th-century San Clemente Basilica, built over a 4th-century basilica

✔ Enjoy a stress-free experience with skip-the-line entry at all three sites
