Full description

Explore Rome's underground burial chambers and crypts to discover a history that predates Christianity, and post-dates the Renaissance. Join this tour to be taken back to a time when Christianity was considered a cult and its members were executed as heretics and buried as martyrs.

You will see hundreds of burial chambers, from modest single sites to extravagant family tombs, in the long corridors of the underground city.

Attend a choral concert by the renowned Schola Romana Ensemble inside the Basilica of Santa Maria Immacolata. The program is rare and valuable, and alternates the archaic mysticism of Gregorian Chants - the most ancient form of Occidental music - with the best polyphony compositions by the Roman School, including masterworks by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.

Then visit the Capuchin Crypt and Museum for an encounter with Caravaggio’s magnificent “St. Francis in Meditation” canvas, along with masterpieces by Domenichino and Reni. See relics from the life of St. Francis and some of his followers. The Crypt is decorated with the bones of 4,000 Capuchin monks, including a real skull and crossbones and chandeliers made of human vertebrae.

The guide and singers seemed genuinely happy to be there for the group. Excellent historical knowledge from the tour guide and the quartet of singers provided a musical experience that was one of our favourite experiences in Rome. A great way to appreciate history and music in a beautiful setting.

Terrific tour. Knowledgeable guide. We did feel a bit rushed through the museum and crypts; the tour could have been about 20 minutes longer for that. Also could not always hear the guide, especially in the crypts where we heard absolutely nothing, the headphones that are sometimes used would have made it all perfect.

Both the tour and the concert were amazing! The crypt was a bit cramped for the number of people in the tour but manageable. The only thing that can be improved in my opinion is the audio machine. There was a lot of static noise, but it was only a minor nuisance.
