    Full Description

    Explore the hidden world beneath the Eternal City on a Rome Underground Private Guided Tour, where layers of history reveal ancient temples, forgotten streets, burial chambers, and mysterious passages preserved for thousands of years. Led by an expert local guide, this immersive experience uncovers the Rome few visitors ever see.

    Descend below today’s bustling city to discover ancient Roman houses, early Christian frescoes, pagan sanctuaries, and the remains of long-lost neighborhoods. Depending on your interests, your tour may include underground sites such as San Clemente, Stadium of Domitian, Vicus Caprarius (The Water City), or Basilica di San Crisogono. Learn how Rome grew layer by layer, how fires and floods reshaped the city, and how entire districts were buried and preserved beneath modern streets.

    A kid-friendly version transforms this underground adventure into an archaeological quest with clues, flashlights, stories, and engaging challenges designed for curious young explorers.

    Optional extensions include a Trevi district walk, a Pantheon or Navona add-on, or even a Roman food tour. Hotel pick-up and private transport may be arranged for added convenience.
    This tour is perfect for families, history lovers, and travelers who want to uncover the mysterious and magical depths beneath Rome’s surface.
