Rome Bone Crypts and San Clement Underground

A must-do Rome experience! Explore the haunting Capuchin Crypts, decorated with the bones of 4,000 monks, and uncover history, art, and secrets you won’t find on any standard tour. With skip-the-line entry and an English mother-tongue guide, journey through the Capuchin Museum and six unforgettable chapels, including the Crypt of the Three Skeletons, the Crypt of Leg Bones and Thigh Bones, the Crypt of Pelvises, and the iconic Crypt of Skulls with its symbolic hourglass. Then, walk through Rome’s living history past the Colosseum, gladiator training grounds, and the ruins of Nero’s Golden House, before visiting the multi-layered Basilica of S. Clemente. Descend from the 12th-century basilica to a 4th-century church and a 2nd-century Mithraic temple, marveling at stunning Byzantine mosaics, early Christian frescoes, and a 2,000-year-old fountain still flowing today. This small-group tour combines the eerie, the sacred, and the extraordinary for a truly unforgettable experience in Rome.
