Overview
Embark on a unique walking tour of the most authentic neighbourhood in Rome and be surprised by its lesser-known underground gems. Visit the hidden sights below two unnoticed churches and be transported by the mystical atmosphere and ancient frescoes.
This small-group tour is limited to 10 participants, granting a quality experience, and it is monolingual.
PLEASE NOTE: The underground area of the Basilica di San Crisogono is open Monday to Friday only from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM (they are open all day on Saturday and Sunday).
