Step by Step

Escape from the noise of the city of Rome, and enter the subway crypts where you will learn some of the stories of the ancient Roman Empire. In addition, this guided tour, which lasts about 3 hours and a half, includes the journey between the various monuments. You will enter two of the most emblematic places of the city, without having to wait in line at any of them. In addition, you will live a more personalized experience with a small group of about 18 people.

You will visit the Crypt of the Bones, where you will be able to appreciate one of the dark sides of the city. The Capuchin monks decorated this crypt with the bones of 4000 of their companions thus obtaining the name of the 'Chapel of the Bones'. The expert guide will explain the possible theories behind this fact, but it will be you who will draw your own conclusions about what you observe. In addition, these crypts are also full of hidden tunnels where Christians hid when their religion was forbidden.

Then you will visit some of the most important catacombs of the city. Depending on the day, you will be able to visit one or the other, but from all of them you will leave with interesting facts that your expert guide will give you.

Finally, you will walk along the ancient Appian Way of Rome with its aqueducts.
