There are catacombs all over Rome. The Catacombs of St. Callixtus are some of the most important, as they mark the final resting place for many Christian martyrs and early popes.

On this guided tour, you'll explore the most intriguing sections of the enormous 3rd-century catacombs, where the remains of half a million Christians were entombed. Find out the meaning behind mysterious symbols etched into stone, and walk around ancient crypts. This 40-minute tour is a great way to introduce yourself to the Eternal City's subterranean story and religious timeline.

We enjoyed venturing outside the main part of Rome to see the Catacombs. Very interesting tour! Our teens really liked it, too. It was a great way to beat the heat in July for a unique adventure.

An excellent tour. Well organised and informative. I do wish we had headsets so we could hear the guide a little better, but it was great regardless.
