What to expect

On this historical tour, you will see the most important and sacred Christian sites in Rome. Visit the well-known Basilicas of Santa Maria Maggiore and Saint John in Lateran. Continue along the ancient Appian Way and access Rome's famous Catacombs.

Your expert guide will take you inside the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore on Esquiline Hill to show you some of the treasures of this impressive church’s interior. Continue to see the Holy Staircase and go inside the Basilica of St. John in Lateran, also known as the Cathedral of Rome.

Proceed along the ancient Appian Way, passing the Chapel of Domine Quo Vadis, before arriving to the Catacombs. These historic underground cemeteries are early marks of Christianity in Rome and document the hiding places of the then oppressed Christian minority. A visit will be made to either the Catacombs of San Callisto, Santa Domitilla, or San Sebastiano, depending on seasonal conditions. End with a spectacular view of the Baths of Emperor Caracalla.
