Guidekin's take

Priscilla and Capuchin Crypt in our Catacombs & Underground Rome comparison.

Last checked: September 13, 2026. Commissions never affect our verdicts.

Overview

Guidekin summary

The after hours version: closing time entry to the Capuchin Crypts, then a private transfer to the Catacombs of Priscilla, or San Sebastiano when Priscilla is closed, for a guided visit once the day crowds have left. Transport between sites, guide, both entries and the crypt audio guide are included at €105 per person, hotel pickup and tips are not.

From the guide

Are you in search of a spine-chilling adventure through the Rome Catacombs minus the large crowds? Look no further than this exclusive after-hours tour, providing you with VIP entry to one of the city's most unsettling historical sites—the subterranean realm of the Roman Catacombs. Stretching for miles beneath the surface of Rome, these subterranean passageways house countless tombs, chambers, and corridors, creating an immersive and labyrinthine experience.

Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who will breathe life into the tales of the deceased, you will embark on a nocturnal exploration of ancient burial tombs and encounter the unparalleled human bone exhibits within the Capuchin Crypts. Prepare for an unforgettable experience in Rome that will leave a lasting impression! (Please Note: From August 18th to August 29th, the After Hours Catacombs visit take places at San Sebastiano Catacombs as the Priscilla Catacombs are closed.)
