2.Rome Underground: Catacombs Tour, Aqueducts and Appian Way

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,007 reviews · 3 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $65Near perfect

Rome’s Appian Way, Cecilia Metella, aqueduct park, and catacombs (San Sebastiano or Domitilla) with small groups and transport.

“In my opinion, this tour is a great way to see a lot of different unique things in Rome. Our guide had a lot of fun facts for us about all three sites visited, and the bonus of getting to go to the catacombs as the last visitors of the day was a treat. If you are a fan of learning about both religious history and engineering of the Roman aqueduct system, this is a great tour! One recommendation is bring a bottle of water - you walk a good bit in the aqueduct park, and the catacombs are chilly but sometimes still feel stuffy. Overall super awesome experience.”

My wife and I were the only ones for the tour and I would like to thank the company for not canceling the tour. I have heard many stories of other companies canceling tours that don't have enough people. Meeting place was easy to find. Had two tours with this company and both were good and reliable and no problems at all.”
