Capuchin Crypt, Christian Catacombs & San Martino ai Monti Tour with Transfers
This guided Rome tour takes you beneath the surface to explore three extraordinary underground sites that reveal the city's spiritual and historical layers. You'll visit the haunting Capuchin Crypt with its bone-decorated chapels, descend into ancient Christian catacombs along the Appian Way, and discover the archaeological treasures beneath San Martino ai Monti basilica.
With convenient transfers from central Rome and skip-the-line access, you'll explore sites that most visitors never see. Your expert guide shares the stories behind these sacred spaces, from the humanitarian work of Capuchin friars to the faith of early Christians who carved their burial chambers into Roman rock. The tour offers a flexible option to swap San Martino ai Monti for the Bocca della Verità and Santa Maria in Cosmedin.

Good to Know
Wear comfortable shoes as you'll encounter uneven surfaces and steps underground. The catacombs can be cool and damp, so bring a light jacket. Only bring small bags as large bags are generally not permitted inside the sites.
Photography may be restricted in sacred areas like the Capuchin Crypt and catacombs, so watch for posted signs or follow your guide's instructions. Arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes early for check-in. Due to uneven ground and narrow passages, the catacombs are not accessible for wheelchairs or those with limited mobility.
If you're exploring more of Rome's underground wonders, consider the Colosseum underground chambers tour for another perspective on the city's hidden history. For those interested in Vatican treasures, the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel guided tour offers equally remarkable art and spiritual heritage above ground.
