Rome Catacombs & Appian Way Golf Cart Driving Tour

Your 2.5 hour adventure starts at our Rome office where you will meet your driver guide, and collect a bottle of water for the road

We will then take a panoramic route out of the city and stop at the best viewpoint overlooking the Circus Maximus, the ancient Roman site for the most popular of the ancient sports chariot races. We’ll see the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla, a gigantic, lavish Roman public bath complex dating to the 3rd century. The baths were not just a place to wash, they were an integral part of Roman social life

We then leave the ancient city limits and drive to the church of Quo Vadis, where St. Peter was said to encounter the resurrected Christ, and continue along the Appian Way. This ancient Roman road is simply beautiful — lined with parks, archeological sites, and luxurious villas. You’ll walk on the original Roman paving stones, admire the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella, and see the remains of a medieval palace complex

Our most important stop will, of course, be at the Roman Catacombs. These ancient burial grounds were dug from the 2nd to the 5th century AD and serve as the most intact early Christian sites in the world. The early Christians created dozens of catacombs, which comprise hundreds of miles of tunnels, lined with millions of tombs. We will visit one of the best catacombs, led by an official local Catacombs guide to explore this ancient labyrinth! The tour will take about 30-35 minutes and the cost of the tour, booking, and Catacombs entrance tickets are included in the tour
