About this experience and booking advice
Catacombs of St. Callixtus Guided Tour with Transfers Descend into nearly two thousand years of Roman history with this guided tour of the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, one of Rome's most significant underground burial sites. You'll travel by air-conditioned coach along the ancient Appian Way to explore these labyrinthine tunnels beneath the city. Your expert guide leads you through corridors lined with marble inscriptions and centuries-old frescoes, revealing the stories behind early Christian symbols and the intricate designs that adorn the burial chambers. The tour highlights include the Crypt of St. Cecilia, dedicated to the patron saint of music, where you'll see detailed mosaics and biblical reliefs. Your guide shares fascinating stories of faith, persecution and resilience that shaped early Christian Rome. On Wednesdays, you'll visit the neighbouring Catacombs of Domitilla instead, where you can admire some of the Appian Way's most decoratively rich tombs. This makes an excellent complement to other Colosseum tours in Rome for a complete picture of the city's ancient past.
