Rome highlights and the Catacombs

Uncover the wonders of Rome from above and below, blending iconic ancient monuments, vibrant Baroque piazzas, and the mysterious underground Catacombs on an unforgettable family journey.
Designed for families and curious explorers alike, this full-day private experience brings the multifaceted history of Rome to life in complete comfort. Your private English-speaking driver meets you directly at your hotel lobby, welcoming you into a luxury air-conditioned vehicle to begin an immersive adventure through millennia of legends and discoveries.
Your morning begins at Piazza Venezia before the grand marble facade of the Vittorio Emanuele II monument, opening the gates to the ancient empire. As you glide along the historic heart of the city, civilization unfolds before your eyes: the Roman and Imperial Forums where emperors once walked, the legendary arches of the Colosseum, the sweeping heights of the Capitoline and Palatine Hills, and the racing grounds of the Circus Maximus. You will pass the monumental ruins of the Baths of Caracalla and stand beneath the extraordinary dome of the Pantheon, marveling at an ancient temple that has defied the passage of time for two thousand years.
The journey continues into Rome’s most picturesque open-air living rooms. Enjoy a leisurely stroll across the lively Piazza Navona, take in the vibrant charm of the Spanish Steps, and toss a coin over your shoulder into the roaring waters of the Trevi Fountain to seal your promise of returning to the Eternal City. Midday offers the perfect pause to recharge over authentic Italian specialties at a welcoming local trattoria.
In the afternoon, your adventure takes a thrilling turn beneath the surface into the quiet, shadowed corridors of the Catacombs. Exploring this subterranean maze of early Christian history, you will discover ancient carved tombs and sacred chambers hidden beneath the quiet Roman countryside. Emerging back into the daylight, you will travel along the storied Appian Way, where you can walk along the original basalt stones paved thousands of years ago, before your driver escorts your family smoothly back to your hotel.
Please note that state museums and archaeological landmarks, including the Colosseum, offer complimentary admission on the first Sunday of every month, during which tickets cannot be reserved in advance and higher crowds and queues are to be expected.
