Rome Underground Tour

Roam the underbelly of Rome on this tour of the underground system. Walk the historical Appian Way and Caffarella as you dive into the lesser-known side of the Eternal City!

A City Under the City

This archeological tour invites you to uncover Rome's lesser-known and darker side underground. The underground system historically aided in the city's construction; we'll discover its hidden treasures on this comprehensive tour.

Meet us at the designated time next to Cancelliere Caffé for an exploration of the underground darkness of the Appian Way and Caffarella.

This extensive underground labyrinth beneath Rome extends from the Aurelian Roman Wall to Via dell’Almone. During our exploration of the historic quarry, once for extracting construction materials, we will gain insight into the foundational elements that shaped Rome.

Next, we will visit a site formerly used for ancient mushroom cultivation, leading to the highlight of our tour: the catacombs of Rome, where we will learn about its historical repurposing.

We will also see the recently reconstructed Mithraeum, a worship area linked to the cult of Mithras, the god of the sun.

Wrapping up at street level, we will end with a wine tasting in the style of Marcus Gavius Apicius, a first-century Roman gastronomist.

After 2 hours of archeological exploration, we will conclude the activity.
