About this activity
Meet your guide at 8:45am at a very convenient meeting point located only 2 minutes away from Termini train station. After a brief check-in you will board an air-conditioned coach and travel to the first destination: The Catacombs of Saint Callixtus. The first venue is famous for the tomb of Popes, and has been nicknamed Little Vatican, by locals. You will head underground and uncover the grim truth about the brutal reality of life for Christians in ancient Rome.
After the visit you will have ample time to buy souvenirs or use facilities.
Second venue is the world-famous Catacombs of St. Domitilla. This site offers a rare opportunity to see a pagan and christian burial site in one location. Built in the second century St. Domitilla catacombs are arguably the oldest and the largest in Rome. Follow your guide down the narrow tunnels to see some of the earliest Christian frescoes and tombs. Unique chance to take photos of the catacombs on this tour. 
Third venue is located in the very heart of Rome, near the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish steps, it is the macabre and sobering Bone Chapel, built by the Capuchin Monks, and decorated with the bones of the monks. Let your expert guide explain the meaning of the symbols in this dark place and learn so much about this unknown religious order.
The tour ends in Piazza Barberini, a very convenient location and time to have a great Roman lunch.

Dmitri was witty and interesting. You could tell he has a passion for what he does. He also helped us get around Rome! I would recommend his tour to anyone. He kept my 17 year olds attention the entire time.
