Darker side of Rome Tour with Catacombs and Crypts
Everyone asks about the legends of the Rome underground catacombs and crypts. On this tour you get the answers to the most popular questions in an up close and personal way. With a private driver, a professional guide, and three incredible and macabre sites, this tour will have you engulfed in Rome’s famous dark side.
This is the best tour to see many of Rome’s hidden underground gems. Sites like the Basilica di San Clemente whose structure dates all the way back to ancient Rome. The church is a perfect example of the layers of the city with the 11th century church sitting on top of a 4th century AD basilica, on top of the home of a Roman nobleman, destroyed in 64AD in the great fire of Rome. At the crypt of the Capuchin Friars in the center of Rome, you will see how the friars decorated their crypts with the bones of over 3000 deceased friars. In the Catacombs of San Callisto, you will enter a maze of underground burial tunnels dating back to the early 3rd century AD.
