About this experience

Go from 12th to 1st century - all in one place, just 30 feet apart (vertically)! Did you know that, beneath the surface of the modern city, there's a hidden and ancient world, just waiting to be discovered? So, jump on our time machine, we'll take you back to the Imperial Rome, to explore a true hidden gem: Saint Clement's church. As qualified tour guides of Rome, we can lead you to the Basilica from IV century and, then, descend to the I century city, where a pagan temple is still visible. We'll learn about the invasion of Robert the Guiscard, who destroyed the first old Basilica, dedicated to the 4th pope, Saint Clement. You'll be then fascinated by the story of Mithras, god from Persia, whose mysterious cult was widespread among soldiers and gladiators. This site of unexpected charme is so close to the Colosseum (just a few minutes walking)... great way to understand how Rome's street level has grown from the 1st century to nowadays and explore centuries of art and history.

Time travel through centuries

Go from 12th to 1st century - all in one place, just 30 feet apart (vertically)! It's a very interesting place to understand how Rome's street level has grown from the 1st century to now, besides also seeing the beautiful mosaics, frescoes and architecture.

Response from the operator: Thank you! we're so glad you appreciated the unicity of this site. It's a place where you can literally touch the history and admire the beauty and evolution of art.

Underground Rome: Saint Clement's and Roman Houses Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Underground Rome: Saint Clement's and Roman Houses Private Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $77 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 Underground Rome: Saint Clement's and Roman Houses Private Tour take?

+

Plan for about 2.5 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 Underground Rome: Saint Clement's and Roman Houses Private Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Underground Rome: Saint Clement's and Roman Houses Private Tour?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Underground Rome: Saint Clement's and Roman Houses Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Underground Rome: Saint Clement's and Roman Houses Private Tour?

+

Around 1 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Underground Rome: Saint Clement's and Roman Houses Private 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.
