    Itinerary

    About this tour, from the operator

    Discover the secrets of Rome's underground and explore the largest catacombs in Rome with an expert guide.

    Descend into the large complex of underground tunnels that make up the catacombs of Domitila. Hear the stories behind the earliest Christian rites and rituals and marvel at ancient artworks.

    We will explore several parts of the catacombs learning about death in ancient Rome and see crypts with pagan and Christian decorative themes including the tomb of Diogenes, a grave digger who created the endless corridors of graves.
