Full description

South of the city walls, the Appian Way runs between pines and ancient tombs. Beneath it lie miles of catacombs where early Christians buried their dead in galleries cut into the soft rock.

On this tour you travel out by minibus with your guide, drive along a stretch of the ancient road, and visit one of the catacomb complexes with its official site guide. The catacomb visited depends on the day’s opening schedule.
