Underground Rome Catacombs Tour with Aqueducts & Appian Way



Enjoy a hassle-free experience with private, air-conditioned transport between sites and an expert guide to bring history to life.

Travel back in time as you explore the historic Appian Way, one of the earliest roads built by the Romans. With centuries-old paving stones beneath your feet, follow the path once used by legions, merchants, and travellers. Along the way, discover ancient tombs and ruins that tell the story of Rome’s expansion.

Pause to admire the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella, an imposing circular tomb dating back to the 1st century BCE. Learn about the powerful family that built this monument and how it has endured through time. Then, stand in awe beneath the remains of Rome’s iconic aqueducts. These towering structures once supplied fresh water to the ancient city, demonstrating the engineering prowess of the Roman Empire.

Finally, it's time to experience the eerie and fascinating Catacombs of San Sebastiano in a crowd-free setting as the last visitors of the day. Venture into underground tunnels lined with ancient frescoes and early Christian burial sites, gaining insight into Rome’s hidden past. Step beyond the city centre and uncover Rome’s lesser-known wonders on this immersive tour.
