Itinerary
Catacombe Di Domitilla
Step into the hidden world beneath Rome and explore the Catacombs of San Domitilla, one of the oldest and most extensive underground burial sites. Starting from our Show Me Italy office at Via dei Serpenti 114, embark on a guided tour through a part of the vast 180-mile network of tunnels, where early Christians sought refuge and laid their loved ones to rest. Your expert guide will share captivating stories of religious persecution, burial rituals, and the rise of Christianity in Rome. Marvel at ancient tombs, early Christian artwork, and beautifully preserved frescoes that offer a glimpse into the past. The 2-hour tour includes transport and is available as a small-group or private experience. Enjoy round-trip transfers from our central office, with drop-off near Cavour Metro station. Tours are available in English, Spanish, and French. Unlike crowded landmarks, this immersive tour lets you discover a lesser-known, yet profoundly significant, part of Rome’s history.
Vicus Caprarius – the City of Water
Enhance your Rome experience with a visit to Vicus Caprarius – The Water City. Just steps from the Trevi Fountain, this underground site offers a unique look at ancient Roman life and water systems. It’s self-guided, and we’ll provide the entry tickets — a small add-on that leaves a big impression.
