Itinerary
Basilica of San Clemente
How do historians and archaeologists learn about Ancient History? By exploring underground of course! Over the past few centuries underground exploration has revealed a vast amount of sites ranging from cult Pagan temples to early Christian Catacombs. This exclusive tour will visit two amazing sites, learning the secrets of the many layers of Rome.
Your tour begins at the beautifully preserved Basilica of San Clemente where we descend over five stories underground. You will learn about Medieval popes and secret Pagan rituals admiring artistic masterpieces from the 2nd century AD until the 15th century AD. Explore mysterious religions and even discover fresh water sources that lie deep in the earth!
Catacombs of Rome
Then, led by your expert guide, hop on a pre-booked taxi that will then take you to one of the most well-known graveyards in Italy. Descend this ancient Christian burial ground and explore the narrow tunnels filled with empty graves – an ongoing point of fascination for historians.
Finally, at the end of the tour you will be driven back to the center of Rome by a pre-booked taxi.

ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY When you book a LivItaly Small Group Tour, you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people. Please bear in mind though that in order to accommodate traveling families and friends, we do on rare occasion make the exception of adding an additional one to two guests in order not to split groups who are traveling together.
