El laberinto de Roma: catacumbas y cuevas antiguas
Descripción
Descender bajo Roma es como entrar en una ciudad paralela, invisible para la mayoría, hecha de túneles, silencios y estratificaciones milenarias que sorprenden incluso a quien cree conocer la capital. Un recorrido de 1,5 kilómetros a través de túneles subterráneos, canteras, catacumbas, una granja de setas y un Mitreo, para una visita de unas 2 horas de duración que ha sido descrita como “inesperada” y “atractiva”. Los subterráneos han sido seleccionados y recomendados por National Geographic Traveller como una de las experiencias más extraordinarias, que cuentan una Roma profunda y auténtica, no la de las multitudes: https://magazine.natgeotraveller.co.uk/NGTC-European-Cities-junio - 2025/sotterranei-di-roma/ Guías expertos acompañan el viaje con relatos claros y apasionantes; las reseñas resaltan su experiencia y capacidad narrativa. La ruta es fácil, totalmente accesible y adecuada para quienes buscan una experiencia cultural intensa sin dificultades físicas. Temperatura constante alrededor de 16°C. Una de las experiencias subterráneas más sorprendentes de Roma.

Itinerario
Los visitantes atravesarán el hermoso parque de la Caffarella en un paseo regenerador de aproximadamente 1 kilómetro (algo más de media milla) por la naturaleza, donde podrán encontrar un momento de paz, lejos del caos de la Ciudad Eterna.
Bajo la ciudad de Roma hay kilómetros de túneles excavados para obtener los materiales necesarios para construir la ciudad imperial, que aún guardan celosamente sus secretos. A continuación, le llevaremos a recorrer este mundo subterráneo cuyas paredes aún conservan las marcas de cincel de los antiguos esclavos que excavaron este lugar, a menudo a cambio de sus vidas. Descubrirá así un pasado antiguo hecho de luces y sombras, donde la historia está escrita en cada arruga de las paredes, en cada signo y en cada nicho. A continuación nos adentramos en la zona de las catacumbas, donde los primeros cristianos enterraban a sus seres queridos en túneles de decenas y decenas de kilómetros. Le haremos vivir la experiencia de atravesar la oscuridad con una antigua linterna romana y luego llegaremos a lo que queda de una granja de setas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Por último, visitará un templo pagano excavado en la tierra donde descubrirá los secretos relacionados con la expansión del cristianismo en la antigua Roma.

In a group with friends, we were looking for a cool place to spend the afternoon together in Rome. Among the various options, we chose this visit to the labyrinth under the Caffarella park; it was a surprising discovery. The guide was very well-prepared and told many anecdotes that stimulated the pleasure of discovery and of learning more about underground Rome. Highly recommended, especially in a group. We also had 12-year-olds with us. Everything was exciting and, not least, at a perfect temperature on these muggy days. We will do other similar activities.
Grazie di cuore per aver condiviso la vostra esperienza! Siamo davvero felici che abbiate trascorso un pomeriggio piacevole nel Labirinto di Roma e che abbiate apprezzato sia il percorso sia il racconto della guida. Sapere di aver acceso il piacere della scoperta, soprattutto nei ragazzi, è per noi la soddisfazione più grande. Ci permettiamo solo una piccola curiosità: leggendo la vostra bellissima recensione ci ha sorpreso il punteggio di 4 stelle. Sulle piattaforme come Tripadvisor, infatti, 4 stelle vengono spesso interpretate come un'esperienza "nella media", mentre dalle vostre parole sembra che la visita vi abbia davvero entusiasmato. Se si è trattato di una semplice svista, e vorrete eventualmente rivedere la valutazione, ve ne saremmo davvero grati. In ogni caso, grazie ancora per averci scelto e speriamo di rivedervi presto per una nuova avventura nei sotterranei di Roma.
The tour was really interesting and cool. I highly recommend. Hopefully tour guide is trained by then.
This was a very unique tour with an archeologist as our tour guide. After a long walk through a park, we entered the catacomb area. We saw the area that it lighted with displays but also were able to explore areas that they are still working on excavating and researching. Our tour guide was fabulous and my teenager and I loved the tour.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I’m really glad you enjoyed both the walk through the park and the experience inside the catacombs—it’s always special to share not only the accessible areas, but also the parts still under study and excavation. It means a lot to hear that both you and your teenager loved the tour! Making history engaging for all ages is one of my main goals. Hope to see you again for another underground exploration in the future!
A wonderful experience from the mando of Alessandro, the head guide. His art and savoir-faire made this adventure very fascinating and at the same time fun. The labyrinth is to be seen and surprised so much. Amazing to know his story and that he is inside and under his own Rome. Very recommendable
Grazie, ci fa piacere che hai apprezzato il prodotto del nostro lavoro. Gireremo ad Alessandro la tua recensione. Sarà contentissimo. Grazie
On the occasion of New Year’s Eve, we visited the “Labyrinth of Rome” at Parco della Caffarella, with the guidance of the Cultural Association “Undergrounds of Rome”. It is a series of underground tunnels (Roman quarries) that already, for about 2000 years ago, were used to extract pozzolan and other materials for the construction of new neighborhoods and then for the expansion of the city of Rome, to then be used as a fungus. The visit, in addition to the fun New Year's Eve party, was very interesting and lasted about 1h and a half. I recommend bringing a torch, if the visit takes place in the evening, because, from the entrance to the Caffarella park, to the entrance to the basements, it takes at least ten minutes of walking. Anyway, a nice and interesting experience.
Grazie per la vostra visita e il vostro feedback. Il percorso che avete fatto é frutto di attivita di ricerca di tanti anni nell'ambito della speleo archeologia e siamo felici che vi sia piaciuto.
It was my wife’s 40th birthday. We decided to do all of our excursions through this app which all of the other ones were perfect, except this one. We went to the waiting point, which happens to be right behind some dumpsters at a coffee shop. We waited there for about 45 minutes. No one showed up. We had a lot of phone calls back-and-forth after we had to do some heavy researching on who we talk to I highly recommend you not use this particular tour.
We're very sorry for the inconvenience. The reason we didn't show up was not our fault but a series of circumstances. The tour was requested at the last minute, and when the request arrived, we didn't have access to email. This is a complaint we've already reported to Viator. As hosts, not having an app that notifies bookings leaves us vulnerable to last-minute bookings if we don't have access to email. We're deeply sorry for this and apologize. Marco.
This tour was really great. If you're interested in diving into history outside of the center of Rome, please do this tour. Our guide was fantastic! We essentially had a private tour and got to dig into history, politics, art, mythology, religion and more. Our guide tailored the tour information to what we expressed interest in so we learned about history through the centuries up to and including more contemporary history of the use of this site during and after WWII. This is well worth a quick metro trip from the more typical tourist spots!
Thank you, we're happy we could offer you an experience unlike any other commercial tour. We're glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you again. Best regards, Marco.
Pleasant experience and very interesting. The guide Riccardo prepared and nice. We had a great time. At the end of the visit we were offered good wine
Grazie ragazzi, è stato un piacere.
This great tour was culturally enriching! It was so refreshing to finally have an experience that was so much above the usual blended material offer to mass tourism. Riccardo was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing such great knowledge in a very interesting and interactive manner. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking at a tailored experience out of the beaten path!
Hello, thank you for appreciating our experience and for understanding the spirit of offering real archaeology, outside of commercial products. We are glad you had enjoyed it. Grazie, Marco
Giuseppe was such a thoughtful and knowledgeable host- a wonderful experience off the beaten track. A real treat!
