Highlights
Hop aboard a comfortable electric golf cart for an impressive underground tour of the Appian Way Catacombs. This journey takes you back to the 3rd century AD, exploring Rome's intriguing history, away from the city's chaos and traffic. Our driver will transport you safely to one of Rome's most hidden and curious destinations: the first Christian catacombs, a place of burial and worship for early Christians. An official guide will introduce you to the history of this ancient site during a 40-minute visit. You'll be amazed and fascinated by the mysteries of these extensive labyrinths of tombs, sepulchers, and sacred places, uncovering a lesser-known side of Rome's history. The golf cart shuttle departs from our office near the Colosseum, heading towards the Via Appia Antica, the queen of ancient Roman roads, within one of the world's most beautiful and extensive archaeological parks.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
