About Catacombs, Crypts Tour

Discover with me the hidden and unrevealed side of the eternal city. 
With our crypts and catacombs tour a driver-guide will pick you up at 8:30 in the morning for a half day tour going through secret and unseen underground passage sand halls. You will see the dark and narrow catacombs where the early Christians would bury their dead. In the Church of Saint Clement you will be dazzled to find out that beneath the medieval/renaissance church lies another older one: going down another floor downstairs you will find yourself in an ancient roman imperial ally where you can admire the mysterious Mitreo, a temple dedicated to the Persian deity Mytra. Coming back to the warmth and light of the sun the driver-guide will take you to another marvel: in the Capuchin Church you will see a crypt that holds the bones of the Capuchin monks. To finish, we will visit the Pantheon, an ancient roman temple built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the year 125. In this architectural wonder, still standing after almost 2000 years, you will see the resting place of the artist Raphael Sanzio, one of Rome’s most loved renaissance artist who died at the age of 37 in the year 1520.
