What you'll see and do

  1. Basilica Papale Di San Paolo Fuori le Mura

    one of the four major basilicas of Roman Catholic church. According to the Christian tradition, the church filled with a sacred atmosphere was built exactly over the tomb of the apostle, not far from the site of his martyrdom.

    60 minutes here

  2. Abbazia Delle Tre Fontane

    Today it is a quiet and peaceful monastery in the heart of Rome and one of the most venerated places in the city for pilgrims. Christian tradition holds that the Roman court sentenced the apostle to death for professing his creed. When Paul was beheaded his head bounced three times – miraculously producing three springs of water. You will see the three springs that still flow in the sanctuary of the monastery.

    40 minutes here

  3. Carcer Tullianum

    It's the oldest prison in Rome, where the Apostles St. Paul and St. Peter were imprisoned for 9 months and where, according to legend, they miraculously made water appear in order to baptize the guards.

A wonderful way to spend the morning

Francesa was a wonderful guide. She was in our hotel lobby, ready to pick us up a few minutes before the start time. Our driver was professional and the car was clean and air conditioned to our comfort. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She was so great about taking pictures of the two of us. It was so nice to have non selfie pics of our vacation. We encountered a slight hiccup that was not her fault (one of the areas we were supposed to visit was closed), she pivoted and added another church to our tour. I would absolutely use her again.

Response from the operator: It is a real compliment to know you would choose Francesa again. Thank you for trusting CityEyes with such special vacation memories. Grazie, e arrivederci! Francesa, and the CityEyes Team

Pilgrimage Visit

Went here as part of a group of 60 from our local churches. This is a fantastic church that I had not been to before, Its architecture is just stunning. Make sure you allow enough time, I would say between 1 hour and 2 hours. We had mass in St Stephens chapel which made the visit. Recommended.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your recommendation. It was a pleasure to be part of your visit, and we hope to welcome you again in the future. Grazie! The CityEyes Team

Bring the scriptures to life.

WOW. information overload. Simon was awesome. He knew everything about everything. It was amazing to walk in the footsteps of Paul and Peter and see the scriptures come alive. This is a must tour and see if you can request for Simon as he really brings the bible to life.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that Simon made your tour such an unforgettable experience, bringing history and scripture to life in such a meaningful way. It’s wonderful to know that walking in the footsteps of Paul and Peter left such a strong impression. We truly appreciate your recommendation and will be sure to share your kind words with Simon. Kind regards, The Eyes of Rome Team

Rome: St Paul Outside the Walls, Mamertine Prison, 3 Fontane Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

How much does Rome: St Paul Outside the Walls, Mamertine Prison, 3 Fontane Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $180 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Rome: St Paul Outside the Walls, Mamertine Prison, 3 Fontane Tour take?

+

Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.

Is Rome: St Paul Outside the Walls, Mamertine Prison, 3 Fontane Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Rome: St Paul Outside the Walls, Mamertine Prison, 3 Fontane Tour?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Rome: St Paul Outside the Walls, Mamertine Prison, 3 Fontane Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Rome: St Paul Outside the Walls, Mamertine Prison, 3 Fontane Tour?

+

Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Rome: St Paul Outside the Walls, Mamertine Prison, 3 Fontane Tour start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Rome?

+

Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Rome?

+

April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Rome?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
