FULL DESCRIPTION

Journey beneath the streets of Rome to uncover the city’s hidden layers of history, faith, and archaeology on this exclusive 4-hour private tour with a car and driver at your disposal.

Begin your exploration with a visit to the Catacombs of Priscilla or Domitilla — ancient subterranean burial sites dating back to the early centuries of Christianity. Walk through intricate tunnels decorated with frescoes and symbols of the first Christian communities, guided by your expert local guide.

Continue to the Basilica of San Clemente, a unique complex that reveals three levels of history stacked one upon another: the 12th-century basilica above, a 4th-century church below, and a 1st-century Roman house and Mithraic temple at the deepest level.

Next, delve into the Vicus Caprarius, also known as the City of Water, an archaeological site beneath the modern streets near the Trevi Fountain, where you’ll see ancient Roman apartments and water channels still flowing today.

Conclude your journey at the Stadium of Domitian, located beneath Piazza Navona. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a fascinating look at the ancient sports arena that once hosted Roman athletic games and festivals.

At the end of your tour, your private driver will accompany you back to your accommodation, completing a remarkable journey through 2,000 years of history hidden beneath the Eternal City.
