About this experience
Delve beneath the ancient streets of Rome and uncover the secrets of a one mighty empire on a guided underground adventure.
Meet your guide in the city center and head towards the Appian Way in a comfortable minivan.

Explore the accessible part of its endless labyrinth of underground burial chambers laid out across four levels.
Be captivated by ancient wall-paintings of mythological and biblical figures and discover the religious symbolism of the frescoes. Relive the shift of faith from paganism to Christianity and feel the power of prohibited belief while learning about early martyrs and persecutions.
Live the excitement of gradually exploring different layers of history and complete your underworld experience in the 4th-century subterranean Basilica of Nereus and Achilleus.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.

Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
