Highlights:
- Gain exclusive access to the Roman Catacombs after closing
- Visit an ancient bone crypt
- Enjoy a small group of a maximum of 18 people and transport by private bus: For a more intimate experience.
This special access, after-hours walking tour takes you into the Catacombs after closing, introducing you to one of Rome’s most important cities of the dead. You’ll also get to see the chilling Orazione e Morte bone crypt, decorated with skulls and bones. Not a tour for the easily spooked, but a wonderful exploration of early Christianity in Rome and Ancient Roman beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife that informs as much as it thrills.
Start your tour at St. Mary of Eulogies and the Dead Church to explore the ancient burial site below the church recently re-opened after seven years of restoration. You'll meet a nun inside the church who will escort you down a short staircase into the bone crypt, decorated with the skulls and bones of abandoned corpses.
Afterwards, hop on a private bus and travel outside the city to the Roman Catacombs as visitors are dispersing for the evening. It's then—as the doors officially close to the public—that you and your small group will step inside for a VIP visit like no other...
The bodies might be gone, but that doesn’t mean you won’t feel a thrill of excitement as you become one of the first people to descend into the Catacombs after closing since the era of Imperial Rome. And because you’ll be there out-of-hours, you’ll have the passageways to yourself and won’t have any trouble hearing your guide as they divulge the dark stories of the birth of Christianity.
Learn why the Romans chose to take their burials ‘off-site’ and discover some of the most intriguing artefacts and decorations that adorn the tombs with the help of a dedicated, expert Catacombs guide.
Following your fascinating VIP visit you’ll have time to reflect on all you’ve learned as you hop on a private, air-conditioned minibus and head to Rome.
This special, VIP experience of Rome’s most interesting burial sites will no doubt leave a lasting impression - and one you’ll likely meditate on for years to come!
