Step into Rome’s mysterious underground world on a guided adventure to the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, a 2nd-century burial ground where popes and martyrs once found eternal rest. This seamless round-trip experience combines comfortable panoramic transfers with expert storytelling that brings these sacred tunnels to life. Getting started Begin your journey at a conveniently located meeting point in central Rome.

What to expect Catacombs of St. Callixtus Dating back to the 2nd century AD, these catacombs stretch for miles beneath the Appian Way. Known as the “Little Vatican” for housing the tombs of nine popes and countless martyrs, it’s one of Christianity’s most sacred sites.
