Enjoy a seamless journey into Underground Rome with a private driver and guide at your disposal.
Your experience begins with home pickup from your accommodation, where your guide will introduce you to the fascinating world of the Catacombs, highlighting their role as sacred burial sites, secret meeting places, and powerful symbols of faith in Early Christian Rome.
Travel along the ancient Appian Way to the Catacombs of Saint Callixtus, among the largest and most impressive in Rome, spanning four underground levels. Inside, you will join a group tour led by the Catacombs’ staff, while your private guide accompanies you throughout, offering additional insights and context. Explore the atmospheric galleries, frescoes, symbols, and stories that reveal the lives, beliefs, and rituals of Rome’s first Christian communities.
At the end of the visit, your private driver and guide will escort you back, with drop-off at your accommodation or another central location of your choice, ensuring a smooth and fully personalized experience.
The itinerary can be customized to enhance your Underground Rome tour. You may extend it by an extra hour to explore the Basilica of San Clemente with its extraordinary crypt, or discover the Capuchin Crypt, where chapels adorned with the bones of over 4,000 monks create a truly evocative and unforgettable atmosphere.

On our Vatican Museums tours, timed-entry tickets are arranged for you in advance, so there’s no waiting at the ticket office and no risk of sold-out dates. Your booking confirmation always lists exactly what’s included for your specific tour — and if anything is unclear, just ask us before you book.
Shoulders and knees must be covered to enter the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica — for adults and children alike. In summer, bring a light scarf or shawl to cover up at the entrance. Hats off inside; small bags are fine.
The Vatican Museums are closed on Sundays (except the last Sunday of the month, which is free — and extremely crowded). On Wednesday mornings the Papal Audience fills St. Peter’s Square, so Basilica visits work better in the afternoon. When you book, we’ll help you pick the best day and time slot.
The Vatican Museums cover several kilometres of galleries, with some stairs along the way. Our guides pace the visit, plan breaks and keep to the cooler, less crowded routes — something dozens of our reviews point out, especially in summer. If anyone in your group has mobility needs, tell us when booking and we’ll plan an accessible route.
Both options exist: most of our Vatican tours are fully private — just your party and the guide — and we also run a small-group version with very limited numbers. Either way, no crowds of 30 with headsets: you can ask questions, slow down, and actually hear the stories.
A licensed guide who knows the Vatican’s four kilometres of art by heart — and knows which stories bring them to life. Many of our reviews mention our guides by name, and that’s exactly how we like it: you’re visiting with a person, not a script.
Security at the entrance is airport-style: small bags are fine, large backpacks and umbrellas go in the free cloakroom. Strollers are allowed, but some sections involve stairs — with toddlers we often suggest a baby carrier. Ask us when booking and we’ll advise based on your tour.
