Private Tour of the Catacombs of Domitilla and the Basilica of San Clemente – Discovering the Hidden Depths of Christian Rome

Experience an extraordinary journey through time and faith with a private guided tour of two of Rome’s most fascinating underground sites — the Catacombs of Domitilla and the Basilica of San Clemente.

Your experience begins with a comfortable private pick-up from your hotel in central Rome, followed by a scenic drive along the Ancient Appian Way to reach the Catacombs of Domitilla, one of the largest and oldest in the city. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, these vast tunnels reveal remarkable frescoes and burial chambers that bear witness to the life, hope, and devotion of Rome’s earliest Christians.

The journey continues to the Basilica of San Clemente, a masterpiece built quite literally on the layers of history. With your expert private guide, you’ll explore three extraordinary levels: the 12th-century basilica with its stunning mosaics, the 4th-century church below, and the ancient Roman buildings and Mithraic temple buried even deeper.

This immersive tour offers a rare opportunity to experience the spiritual and archaeological heart of Rome — a city built upon centuries of history, faith, and art — all revealed through its most evocative underground treasures.
