Highlights
  • Museum and Crypt of Capuchins - This incredible tour begins at the the Crypt of the Capuchin monks on Via Veneto, where you will meet your professional expert guide and join your exclusively SMALL group of 6 people max, or, for an even more luxurious experience, tour in an exclusively private group!
    This historical crypt holds the bones of over 4,000 deceased Capuchin monks, which have been decoratively laid out creating an eerie atmosphere which will surely leave you impressed! As your tour of the Capuchin Crypt ends and night begins to fall, your guide will escort you to a private chauffeured car where you will be taken to ancient catacombs, for the next part of your Rome Catacombs Night Tour.

  • Sant Agnese fuori le Mura - Your chauffeur will drop you off at the incredible Basilica of Saint Agnes outside the walls, built in honour and protection of the remains of Saint Agnes, a very young Christian martyr executed under the reign of Diocletian. Here you will have the chance to visit the beautiful interior of the Basilica and descend into the impressive catacombs, through exclusive access granted ONLY to our company’s groups. A Saint Agnese affiliated and certified guide will here take you and other groups from our company only in the underground hallways lined by hundreds of tombs.

  • Mausoleo di Santa Costanza - Once above ground again, continue your visit! Next stop will be just behind the Basilica di Saint Agnes, in the Mausoleo di Costanza. In fact, the basilica is part of a larger, prominent palaeo-Christian funerary complex which is also home to a mausoleum dedicated to Costanza, Emperor Constantine’s daughter. Both his daughters, Costanza and Helena’s remains are buried here, and they have been venerated with priceless 4th century mosaics, some of which depict early versions of Jesus

The access to these incredible catacombs and funerary complex is privileged and exclusively granted to our company and our company’s groups. An off the beaten path, beautiful and inspiring adventure you are sure to never forget!

Once the tour has ended, you will hop back on your comfortable chauffeur ride, and be taken back to the city centre.

Great tour, amazing guide! - We were lucky enough to end up with a private tour with Valentina. Santa Maria Maggiore was beautiful but with the exclusive access we got through the tour it was even better. I really appreciated Valentina’s passion and knowledge. I highly recommend this tour to see something a little outside of the typical tourist recommendations.

Excellent tour, knowledgeable guide - Very interesting tour. Guide was lovely and very knowledgeable. The tour we were on was a first for the company so was a learning process but handled very well by Valentina. Everything was on time and well Organised. Much better to pay for the extra understanding of each attraction. Will use again

Interesting visit to Romes underground - This tour was the best way to see what all the guides before this one had told us- that Rome is a city of layers. Very different than the other tours. Our guide, Massimo, was great. Highly recommend (though some of it was really creepy)

Fascinating tour of the Catacombs. - Valentina took us on a FANTASTIC journey through the Catacombs. We learned so much and feel so lucky to have had this experience. This was 1 of 3 tours we booked with LivTours on our visit to Rome and all of them were amazing. Highly recommended.

Bones to Heaven - Great tour with plenty of bones arranged in the first church and the dust of the ancients at the second site. Very informative tour guide and it is well worth being on a private or semi private tour. We had 4 in our group

Catacombs - This tour was fascinating- you are given access to areas that are not generally open to the public. Our tour guide Margherita was excellent. Highly recommend this tour.

Unique tour of a special part of Rome - Ella was fantastic, very entertaining and knowledgeable. She was particularly kind with our very curious son. We also loved the private tour of the catacombs. Such a very special experience that we will always remember.

Complete waste of money. - Was an absolute rip off. Itinerary. Hanged at last minute and was BOT made clear in email that only stressed a time change. Don’t get to see the main thing we paid for

Overpriced, not worth the time - Way over priced. The main guide’s English was poor and hard to understand. The catacombs tour guide was very good and the catacombs were cool but all and all we regret spending so much money on this underwhelming 2.5 hours.
