It’s best if you are not in any rush. We were not, we really enjoyed our guide at the site.
Our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was like a tour guide through the city on the way to the site.

The only problem is the guy did not speak English. We were told he would point out Rome famous locations, but we couldn’t understand it. He was very nice but did not speak English.

Our private tour guide picked us up at our hotel right on time. On our way to the catacombs, he pointed out places of interest and gave a history of those sites. He was very informative and friendly.

Outstanding experience!
Marco was an excellent driver. His English was impeccable. He took us by several interesting sites on the way to the catacombs. The catacomb tour was outstanding and our guide was very knowledgeable.

Very knowledgeable, somewhat attentive
We did enjoy our tour and the tour guide was clearly an expert. Very knowledgeable about the catacombs.
We thought the tour was to be a small group but it was close to 20-25 people and guide began talking when the first people arrived with him to each stop. We were often last as we were the slowest down stairs. At the end , with tip $ in hand, we waved that were making it up the exit stairs as fast as we could-when we got there he was gone. So was his tip. No biggie, but disappointed that he catered to the fastest to the few of slower families.

Ways to explore
How to get there

Due to the site's delicate nature, travelers cannot visit the Ancient Roman catacombs independently. All visits must be part of a guided group or private tour.
Tours and group visits can be arranged upon arrival at the most popular catacombs, but visits must be booked in advance to the less-visited spots.
Catacomb tours are not recommended for travelers who get claustrophobic.
Cover your shoulders and thighs before entering these Christian catacombs. You may want to bring a light jacket, too, as it can get cold underground.
The Catacombs of Rome are not wheelchair or stroller accessible.
People Also Ask
Can you tour the Catacombs of Rome?
Yes. Rome is home to more than 60 catacombs, but many are unexcavated. You can tour six: the Catacombs of St. Callistus, the Catacombs of St. Sebastian, the Catacombs of St. Domitilla, the Catacombs of St. Priscilla, the Catacombs of St. Agnes, and the Catacombs of St. Marcellinus and Peter.
Do you need a tour for the Catacombs of Rome?
Yes. You can’t explore any of the Rome catacombs independently. Tickets include a guided tour: book ahead to reserve your spot. St. Callistus, St. Sebastian, and St. Domitilla are close together, as are St. Priscilla and St. Agnes; St. Marcellinus and St. Peter lie in a different area from either group.
Is there a dress code for the Catacombs of Rome?
Yes. All the catacombs of Rome are considered sacred sites, while many are entered through churches. All genders should cover shoulders, upper arms, and legs to the knee to show respect. Temperatures are about 55–60°F (13–16°C) year-round, and surfaces are uneven, so bring a layer and wear practical shoes.
Can you take pictures in the Roman Catacombs?
No. Photos and videos are not allowed in any of the six open Roman catacombs: the Catacombs of St. Callistus, the Catacombs of St. Sebastian, the Catacombs of St. Domitilla, the Catacombs of St. Priscilla, the Catacombs of St. Agnes, and the Catacombs of St. Marcellinus and Peter.
Is it cold in the Catacombs of Rome?
Yes. The catacombs maintain an even temperature year-round, but when the mercury can hit 88°F (31°C) outside in summer, they’ll feel particularly cold. Temperatures range from about 55°F (13°C) to about 60°F (16°C), so even though tours last under an hour, you’ll need a layer at warmer times of the year.
Are there restrooms in the Catacombs of Rome?
Yes. There are no bathroom facilities in the underground catacombs themselves—go before you start your tour. But the Catacombs of St. Callistus, Catacombs of St. Priscilla (Catacombe di Priscilla), Catacombs of St. Domitilla (Catacombe di Santa Domitilla), and Catacombs of St. Sebastian (Catacombe San Sebastiano) have restrooms up above.
