Entries, transport, guide and headsets are included at €119 per person, hotel pickup and tips are not. Not for claustrophobia. In our comparison: #29 of 46 in Catacombs & Underground Rome, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Explore a surprising lesser-known gem in the city center before jumping outside the city walls to the mazy Roman Catacombs. Go deep underground in a dark world of secret cults and ancient wall paintings with a small-group guided tour. Visit 2 contrasting underground sights with an expert guide. Discover the place of a hidden cult 14 meters below St. Clement’s Basilica and descend into the twisty tunnels of the Catacombs of Domitilla. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Meet us at Via Francesco Giambullari 4, - Group size varies by option: small group from €119 · private from €369 - Starts 09:00, 14:30: 2 departures a day - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €89: ages 6 to 15 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €119 per person for the Portuguese Tour option; other options up to €369 - Duration: 3h - Rating: 4.81/5 from 32 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Likely to sell out - Operator: TOURIKS - Group: Group size varies by option: small group from €119 · private from €369 - Guide languages: German, Portuguese, English, Italian, French, Spanish - Start times: 09:00, 14:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-20 ## Reviews 4.81 from 32 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 32 of 32. - 5 stars: 26 (81%) - 4 stars: 6 (19%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## 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 | |---|---|---|---| | Portuguese Tour | €119 / person | Portuguese | Small-Group Tour: This option is for a 3-hour guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica in Portuguese | | French Tour | €119 / person | French | Small-Group Tour: This option is for a 3-hour guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica in French | | Italian Tour | €119 / person (for 2+ people) | Italian | Small-Group Tour: This option is for a 3-hour guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica in Italian | | German Tour | €119 / person | German | Small-Group Tour: This option is for a 3-hour guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica in German | | English Tour | €119 / person | English | Small-Group Tour: This option is for a 3-hour guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica in English | | Spanish Tour | €119 / person | Spanish | Small-Group Tour: This option is for a 3-hour guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica in Spanish | | Private Tour in Spanish | €369 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish | Private Tour: This option is for a 3-hour Private guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica | | Private Tour in Portuguese | €369 / person (for 2+ people) | Portuguese | Private Tour: This option is for a 3-hour Private guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica | | Private Tour in French | €369 / person (for 2+ people) | French | Private Tour: This option is for a 3-hour Private guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica | | Private Tour in German | €369 / person (for 2+ people) | German | Private Tour: This option is for a 3-hour Private guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica | | Private Tour in Italian | €369 / person (for 2+ people) | Italian | Private Tour: This option is for a 3-hour Private guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica | | Private Tour in English | €369 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Private Tour: This option is for a 3-hour Private guided tour of the Roman Catacombs and the undergrounds of St. Clement's Basilica | ## What's included - Live professional guide - Luggage deposit in our office for the duration of the tour - Sterilised headsets to hear the guide clearly - Full on-site assistance - All entrance and transport fees ## Not included - Hotel Pick-up and drop-off - Optional gratuities - Food and drinks ## Itinerary 1. **Basilica of San Clemente** (1h 15m; admission included) - Meet your guide at the meeting point and then venture deep underground the Basilica of San Clemente, below its foundations into a mystical world of ancient cults and legends.
