Carved from travertine stone, the Trevi Fountain features allegorical figures, including Oceanus, the Roman god of the sea, riding a shell chariot pulled by sea horses.

Historical site
Catacombe di San Callisto
The Catacombe di San Callisto, also known as the Catacombs of St. Callixtus in Rome, is the ancient underground cemetery that was the official burial place for the early Christian community in the third century. Around half a million Christians, including martyrs and 16 popes like Pope Damasus, found their final resting place here.
The catacombs are named after Deacon St. Callixtus, whom Pope Zephyrinus put in charge of managing the cemetery in the early third century. Extending nearly 20 kilometers long and 20 meters deep with four levels, covering about 37 hectares, these Roman catacombs are a significant part of Rome's early Christian history.
Back then, Christians in Rome struggled to find proper burial grounds. They either had to bury their loved ones in Pagan cemeteries or on private land. To solve this, with the help of volunteers and donations, they started building the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, gradually expanding the official cemetery over time.
Explore this sacred site, where the history of the early Christian faith comes alive. Check out these tours and discover the stories of these Roman martyrs and the legacy they left behind in the Eternal City during early Christian Rome.

We truly enjoyed this full day excursion even if it was short as the travel time was lenghtly. Our guide on that day was great and made sure that we are together even if it was such a big group. People stick with the timeline so it was timely in transitioning to the next area.

The e-voucher provided by the Klook platform cannot be used directly. Please remember to refer to the email sent by the tour operator and go to the designated meeting point at the specified time to check in with the staff. After checking in, the tour guide will distribute tickets and audio guides to the group members (please keep your tickets safe, as they will be checked at least twice after entering the Vatican). Our tour guide was very responsible and knowledgeable, providing us with detailed explanations of the historical background and interesting facts about the Vatican and its architecture, which was very enriching. Please note that once you leave a building within the Vatican, you cannot re-enter it. If you wish to visit again, you will need to purchase another ticket (for example, once you leave the museum for the chapel, you cannot return to the museum). Also, this tour does not include Raphael's Rooms. Tickets to climb the dome must be purchased separately. The dome has two levels: the first level has 300 steps (with an elevator), and the second level to the very top has 200 steps (no elevator). From the highest building in Rome, you can overlook the entire city.

Despite the severe heat, our guide was extremely good in providing us a great experience! It started with a courtesy call to confirm our arrival at the designated area, followed by a tour with a plethora of knowledge sharing and information to make our experience a memorable. I feel terrible about not being sure of his name, but I’ve included a photo of him… and to him I say thank you!

Our Vatican Museums tour was outstanding. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and attentive throughout the entire experience. She made sure everyone stayed together and never felt lost, which we really appreciated given how busy it can be. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and full of insight, bringing the history and artwork to life. She guided us seamlessly through the museums—truly a magnificent experience from start to finish.

Very fun day out although it was tiring physically. Everything is good about the tour. Perhaps the only bad thing is the lack of sufficient toilet breaks as it was pretty rushed especially for a huge tour group. All in all it was a very interesting trip out of Rome.

I recently had the pleasure of joining a tour of Amalfi and Positano, guided by the wonderful Paola. From the onset, Paola's intelligence and thoughtful demeanor made the experience truly special. She effortlessly balanced being considerate with staying firmly on schedule, ensuring we got the most out of our day.
Max, our driver, deserves a shout-out as well. His driving was both efficient and safe, allowing us to relax and enjoy the breathtaking scenery without worry. Overall, this tour was a fantastic experience, made even better by Paola's expert guidance and Max's skilled driving. Highly recommend!

Everything went well on this tour. I just feel like the itinerary was fast-paced, but I would still say it’s worth it. We had ample time to see the highlights of the trip. After the tour, you have the opportunity to spend your time in St Peter’s Basilica and explore the vast surroundings including the Pieta and souvenir shop.
