Best of Rome and Catacombs – Luxury Sightseeing & Underground Guided Tour

Experience the Eternal City like never before with our Best of Rome and Catacombs tour, combining luxury chauffeured sightseeing with an exclusive underground guided visit. Travel in comfort by deluxe car or minivan as your professional driver takes you through the most iconic landmarks of Rome’s historical center, including Piazza Navona, the Trevi Fountain, the majestic Pantheon, and the elegant Spanish Steps, while also revealing hidden treasures known only to locals.

Capture unforgettable photos from the best panoramic viewpoint in Rome – Janiculum Hill, where the skyline unfolds in a breathtaking display of domes, ancient monuments, and timeless beauty.

Continue along the legendary Ancient Appian Way to discover one of Rome’s most fascinating hidden worlds: the Catacombs. Descend into this vast network of underground tunnels — among the longest in the world — where early Christians once sought refuge. Admire ancient frescoes, sacred crypts, imposing mausoleums, and the resting places of popes, martyrs, and, according to legend, even apostles.

Your catacomb experience will feature one of the city’s most remarkable complexes: San Callisto, San Sebastiano, or Santa Domitilla, depending on the day of your visit. Each site offers its own unique atmosphere, history, and artistic treasures.

Between tours, enjoy a short break to relax, recharge, and soak in the Roman atmosphere before returning to the city center.

Drop off To Your Accommodation

The Theatre of Marcellus (Latin: Theatrum Marcelli, Italian: Teatro di Marcello) is an ancient open-air theatre in Rome, Italy, built in the closing years of the Roman Republic. At the theatre, locals and visitors alike were able to watch performances of drama and song. Today its ancient edifice in the rione of Sant’Angelo, Rome, once again provides one of the city’s many popular spectacles or tourist sites. Space for the theatre was cleared by Julius Caesar, who was murdered before its construction could begin; the theatre was advanced enough by 17 BC that part of the celebration of the Ludi secular took place within the theatre; it was completed in 13 BC and formally inaugurated in 12 BC by Augustus,[1] named after his nephew Marcus Claudius Marcellus who had died in 23 BC.
