Transport, guide, the crypt entry with audio guide and the catacombs visit are included at €63 per person, pickup and tips are not. ## Overview Rome keeps some of its most gripping history underground, and this tour takes you straight to it with an expert guide and round-trip transport from the city center. You start among the bone-lined chapels of the Capuchin Crypts, where the remains of generations of friars form haunting displays, then ride out along the ancient Appian Way, passing the Aurelian Walls and the Circus Maximus. Underground again, you follow dim corridors through one of Rome's early Christian catacombs, tracing frescoed chambers and tombs once reserved for martyrs and popes. Your guide fills in the stories behind each site, so you leave with a real sense of how the early Christian world took shape beneath the city. Pick the version that fits you best: join the group tour with catacombs and crypts, choose a catacombs-only express visit, go after hours when the sites are quiet, or book a private tour with hotel pickup and extra stops. ## Key facts - Price: from €63 per person - Duration: 3h 30m - Rating: 4.55/5 from 923 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: The Tour Guy ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Express Tour: Catacombs Only | €63 / person | English | Does NOT include the Capuchin Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes Catacombs Express Tour: Includes round-trip transport, expert guide, and a guided catacombs visit. | | Catacombs and Capuchin Crypts Group Tour | €90 / person | English | Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes Group Option: Includes round-trip transport, expert guide, catacombs visit, and the Capuchin Crypts. | | After Hours:Catacombs & Crypts | €125 / person | English | Duration: 3 hours After Hours Option: Includes evening catacombs and Capuchin Crypts visit, expert guide, and private transport. | ## What's included - Expert, English-speaking guide - Drive past the ancient Appian Way - Timed entry & audio guide tour of the Capuchin Crypts (not included on Express Tour: Catacombs Only) - Views of the Aurelian Walls - Private, round-trip transportation from central Rome - Guided tour of the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, St. Sebastian, or Domitilla ## Not included - Hotel pick up / drop off - Gratuities (optional) ## Itinerary 1. **Piazza Barberini** (15m) - Meet your guide in central Rome in front of the Fontana del Tritone.
