Nestled deep beneath the surface of modern Italy, lie the catacombs and crypts of ancient Rome. This is a completely concealed side to the bustle of the capital. Within this underground cemetery lies ancient secrets, virtually forgotten and eternally frozen in time.
Your day trip comes with complimentary transport to and from your hotel. Begin the adventure with a personal pick-up, before venturing below ground with a native guide. Your escort is an expert in all things subterranean. You tune in eagerly, while he paints the tale of the Eternal City. His voice echoes softly, as he leads you further down.
Mysterious, outlandish monuments present themselves enticingly. They include the Capuchin Crypt and ‘Bone Chapel’, an old pagan shrine. Dating back almost 2,000 years, these sites take on new life. And once you’ve had your fill of this unusual history, lunch at a traditional Roman restaurant awaits you upon your ascent.
