Crypts, ancient aqueducts and skeletons
Rome
Description
An experience to learn about the true essence of Rome's underground areas. We will visit:
The Capuchin Crypt
A cemetery literally built from bones! The rooms are decorated with the remains of about 4,000 friars. The message at the end of the crypt reads: "What we were, you are now. What we are now, you will be."
The Virgin aqueduct
In Rome, as many as 11 aqueducts arrived, an enormous quantity that was equaled only in modern times.
We will take you to the basement of a shopping center to visit the ancient aqueduct and then we'll see where the water comes out, in the famous Trevi fountain.
The basement of the Basilica of San Nicola in prison
A secret place that few know. This delightful church was built in the 10th century on three temples dating back to the 1st century BC
Most of the original temples, including their marble columns, have been incorporated into the structure of the current basilica, but are still visible.

Crypts are amazing

Our tour was very informative and interesting. Our tour guide Giuseppe was very knowledgeable and gave us some insight to the Crypts and Aquaducts history .. well worth the visit..
Tour guide didn’t turn up

Arrived 45 minutes early at correct meeting point. After 55 minutes tried to contact operator by web chat and got no response. Rang Viator. After about 20 mins or so on the phone it was established that tour guide didn’t know it was booked. At least we got an immediate refund! Big shame as wasted a lot of time on our short trip to Rome.
Highly recommended

Riccardo was excellent - we got a personalized tour, he is very knowledgeable and passionate about his home city. He took time to explain a lot of things, and he was patient with my mom's walking pace, as we covered enough steps to make us lose a kilo or two!!! Just kidding about weight loss - but the tour was great... Highly recommended with caveat - bring your walking shoes!!!
Great tour

Riccardo was a great guide, thankyou! He made the tour more interesting than the standard and we learned a great deal about lesser known sites of Rome.
