What does the Catacombs and Appian Way tour include?
This guided half-day tour takes you beyond Rome's city walls to the ancient Appian Way, the monumental Roman aqueducts, and the underground catacombs. Travelling by air-conditioned minibus with an expert guide, you cover sites that most visitors miss entirely, all in around 3.5 hours.
What will I see on the Appian Way?
The Via Appia Antica, built around 300 BC, was the first and most important of Rome's great roads. You will walk sections of its original basalt paving stones, pass the imposing circular tomb of Cecilia Metella, and see the remains of the Villa and Circus of Maxentius, the second-largest chariot racing stadium after the Circus Maximus.
What are the Roman aqueducts like?
The tour takes you to the Aqueduct Park, where colossal stone arches stretch across open green fields. These structures once carried millions of litres of water into the city daily and remain among the most impressive feats of Roman engineering still standing.
What happens inside the catacombs?
The final stop is an underground catacomb, visited during a quieter last-entry time slot. Depending on the day, you may visit the Catacombs of St. Sebastian, St. Callixtus, or Domitilla. A resident catacomb guide leads you through narrow tunnels, past carved burial niches, early Christian frescoes, and pilgrim inscriptions dating back to the 3rd century. The catacombs maintain a constant temperature of around 17 degrees Celsius.
