Why choose this Rome tour ?
My name is Andrea, I have worked in the sector for many years, I am the only true Roman to offer this experience.
My commitment is to provide a high quality service, so every tour is PRIVATE, even for one guest.
The purpose of this experience is to visit the fascinating and mystical Christian catacombs, burial place of the first Christians, when they were still persecuted. They extend for miles underground, carved entirely by hand into the tuff, housing the burial of hundreds of thousands of people. Here we will also find the tombs of the first Popes, it is no coincidence that it is called the little Saint Peter.
If the destination is important, the journey must not be less!
Thanks to my classic Fiat500s, you will live a 60s style experience, visiting along the way to get to the catacombs, the amazing Parco Dell’Appia antica, rich in natural and historical beauties, which often escape visitors who focus only on the center of Rome.
Make the most of your Rome adventure
What makes Catacombs & Appia Antica in Fiat500 Vintage, with a local a unique experience ?
This is our starting point, in case you did not choose the hotel pick-up option. The largest stadium of the Roman era, of which only a few remains are visible today.
Driving along the so-called “archaeological walk”, we will encounter on the right the enormous complex of the Baths of Caracalla.
After passing the Baths of Caracalla, the Via Appia Antica begins, the most famous Roman road.
Shortly after the beginning of the Appian Way, we will come across the tomb of the Scipios, perhaps the most ancient and prestigious Roman family.
After passing the tomb of the Scipios, we will pass under the Arch of Drusus, an imposing monument from the Roman era.
A few meters after the Arch of Drusus, we find one of the most famous access gates of Rome, part of the imposing Aurelian walls, which here we can admire in one of the most beautiful parts.
Once we reach the catacombs we will be welcomed by a lush and unexpected nature, olive trees, roads with cypresses and green meadows, it will seem like we are in Tuscany!
Here we will have our most important stop, you will be accompanied by an expert guide on a small group tour inside the Catacombs
