Highlights

Peel back the layers of Roman history—quite literally—with a thrilling exploration of its underground tombs and chapels. See thousands of artistically displayed bones in the crypt of Santa Maria dell’ Orazione e Morte during an exclusive visit just for your small group. Although it might appear macabre, your expert guide will tell you why the early Christians in Rome actually consider the display life-affirming. Next up is the Roman Catacombs, home to stunning frescoes and thousands of centuries-old bones. Learn about early Christianity from your guide while meandering the endless darkened tunnels. An expert guide, private transportation via minibus, and a small group of 18 people or fewer means your only responsibility is to immerse yourself in the thrills and wonder of Rome.

  • Chiesa di Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte

    45 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    It’s easy to miss this 16th century church tucked down an alley, but your expert guide knows the fascinating history that lies beneath your feet. After a brief introduction from your guide, they will ring the doorbell and wait for a nun to escort you and your small group into the church for an exclusive visit. You’ll follow the nun down a short flight of stairs into the crypt, revealing the bones and remains of thousands of individuals in a jaw-dropping display of life and death. Although it might appear macabre, your expert guide will tell you why the early Christians in Rome actually consider the display life-affirming.
