Capuchin Crypt & Roman Catacombs Guided Tour
This guided tour takes you beneath Rome to explore two remarkable underground sites in a single afternoon. You'll visit the Capuchin Crypt beneath Santa Maria della Concezione, where the bones of over 4,000 Capuchin friars are artistically arranged in six Baroque chapels. The tour then continues to one of Rome's famous early Christian catacombs where you'll walk through ancient burial chambers with centuries-old frescoes.
The experience includes round-trip transfers by air-conditioned coach from central Rome, so you won't need to navigate public transport or worry about separate tickets. Your licensed guide provides expert commentary at the catacombs, whilst an audio guide helps you understand the symbolism and traditions at the Capuchin Crypt.
