Tour Overview

Discover Rome from two extraordinary angles with this combo ticket: explore the ancient underground Catacombs on a guided tour, then relax with a 24-hour hop-on hop-off boat ride along the Tiber River. History below, beauty above.

Explore Underground and On the River: Catacombs Guided Tour + 24-Hour Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Ride

Discover two unique sides of Rome with one convenient combo ticket: a guided tour of the Catacombs and a 24-hour hop-on hop-off boat ride on the Tiber River. This experience offers the perfect balance between history, mystery, and scenic relaxation—ideal for curious travelers who want to see more and do it at their own pace.

Begin your journey with a guided exploration of the Roman Catacombs, one of the city’s most fascinating and hidden sites. Travel deep underground to uncover a parallel world where early Christians and Jews buried and honored their dead in secret. With the help of an expert local guide, you’ll explore centuries-old burial chambers, narrow tunnels, and sacred inscriptions that bring Rome’s underground past vividly to life.

Please note: Transportation to the Catacombs is not included. You must reach the meeting point independently. Details on how to get there will be provided upon booking.

Before or after your Catacombs tour, take advantage of your 24-hour riverboat ticket to experience Rome from a completely different perspective. The Tiber River ride allows you to hop on and off at four central piers, gliding peacefully through the heart of the city, away from traffic and crowds. From the open deck or indoor lounge, you’ll enjoy scenic views of iconic landmarks like Castel Sant’Angelo, Piazza del Popolo, and Tiber Island.

This combo ticket gives you the chance to maximize your time in Rome while enjoying two unforgettable experiences—one above ground, the other below. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply looking for a new way to explore the Eternal City, this combination offers an enriching and flexible adventure.
