Rome catacombs tour: St. Callixtus, the Capuchin Crypt and the Appian Way, compared
A Rome catacombs tour on these listings costs from $16 for a 30-minute guided visit to the Catacombs of St. Callixtus — the Crypt of the Popes included, entry ticket in the price — to $55 for a 2.5-to-3.5-hour tour that pairs the Capuchin Crypt with the Roman catacombs and the Basilica of San Martino ai Monti, transfers included. If you would rather ride, the $66 e-bike tour of the Appian Way and the Roman aqueducts adds an optional guided visit to the catacombs over 4 to 6 hours. The $55 tour is the most reviewed, 7,499 at 4.6; the e-bike day the best rated, 4.9 across 1,943.

What each Rome catacombs tour actually covers
Three tours and one two-day plan that passes the catacombs on its way.
Catacombs of St. Callixtus, $16. An entry ticket and a 30-minute guided tour of the ancient Christian burial ground, with the Crypt of the Popes, 4.6 across 3,744 reviews. It is the shortest and cheapest listing on this page and the only one that is purely the catacombs.
Capuchin Crypt and catacombs with transfers, $55. Three sites in 2.5 to 3.5 hours: the Capuchin Crypt, the Roman catacombs and the Basilica of San Martino ai Monti, with transfers between them, 4.6 across 7,499 reviews — the most reviewed listing here by a wide margin, 7,499 against 3,744 for the next.
Appian Way, catacombs and aqueducts by e-bike, $66. A relaxing, safety-conscious e-bike ride of 4 to 6 hours along the ancient Appian Way and out to the Roman aqueducts on an e-mountain bike, with an optional guided visit to the catacombs, 4.9 across 1,943. The catacombs are the option, not the core, so read it as an outdoor day with an underground stop.
Best of Rome in two days, $1,450. A private two-day plan with a driver that lists the Catacombs alongside the historical centre, the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, 4.8 across 21 reviews. It belongs here only because the Catacombs are on its route; it is a city itinerary, not a catacombs visit.

Which catacombs visit to book, by time and interest
Every figure is the listing’s own.
- You have half an hour
$16, St. Callixtus with a guide and the entry ticket, 4.6 across 3,744 reviews. It is the shortest listing on this page by two hours.
- You want the crypt and the catacombs in one go
$55, three sites with transfers, 2.5 to 3.5 hours, 7,499 reviews at 4.6. The transfers are in the title, so the moving between sites is handled.
- You want to be outdoors
The $66 e-bike tour: 4 to 6 hours on the Appian Way and out to the aqueducts, the catacombs as an optional guided stop, 4.9 across 1,943 — the best rated listing on this page.
- You want it private
Only the $1,450 two-day plan is private, and the catacombs are one stop among six. The other three are sold as group tours.
- You want the most for your money
The $55 tour covers three sites and the transfers; the $66 e-bike covers 4 to 6 hours and the aqueducts with the catacombs optional. Per hour, both undercut the $16 half-hour visit, which works out at $32 an hour.
Every trip, current fare
All four, priced
Only St. Callixtus has a fixed length, so it is the only row with a figure per hour; the other three are sold as ranges or days.

The honest answer
Is a Rome catacombs tour worth it?
Sixteen dollars buys the proven answer; $55 buys the crypt as well.
For $16 and thirty minutes, the St. Callixtus visit is the second-cheapest listing on the whole site after the $8 Pantheon ticket, and 3,744 people have rated it 4.6. That is the low-risk answer: a guide, the Crypt of the Popes and the entry ticket.
The $55 tour is worth the extra $39 if the Capuchin Crypt is what you came for, because no other listing here enters it, and because the transfers remove the problem of getting between three sites. The rating is the same 4.6, but on twice the reviews.
The e-bike day is the best rated of the four, 4.9, but buy it for the Appian Way and the aqueducts; the catacombs are an option on the listing, and a Rome catacombs tour that spends four to six hours above ground is a ride first. The two-day private plan at $1,450 is a different purchase altogether, rated 4.8 on 21 reviews.

Bike and e-bike tours, compared→Common questions
Rome catacombs tour, answered
How much does a Rome catacombs tour cost?
$16 for the 30-minute St. Callixtus visit with entry and a guide, $55 for the Capuchin Crypt, the catacombs and a basilica with transfers, $66 for the Appian Way e-bike day with the catacombs optional. The two-day private plan that passes the catacombs is $1,450.
Which catacombs do the tours visit?
The $16 listing names the Catacombs of St. Callixtus and the Crypt of the Popes. The $55 listing says the Roman catacombs without naming which, alongside the Capuchin Crypt and the Basilica of San Martino ai Monti. The e-bike listing offers an optional guided visit to the catacombs on the Appian Way.
How long is the visit underground?
Thirty minutes on the St. Callixtus listing. The $55 tour is 2.5 to 3.5 hours across three sites and transfers; the e-bike tour is 4 to 6 hours in total with the catacombs as one optional stop. Neither of those two states the time inside the catacombs separately.
Are transfers included?
On the $55 tour, yes: transfers are in the listing title. The two-day plan includes transfers too. The $16 visit and the e-bike tour do not mention them.
Is the Capuchin Crypt the same as the catacombs?
No. On the $55 listing they are two separate stops, the Capuchin Crypt and the Roman catacombs, with the Basilica of San Martino ai Monti as a third. No other listing here enters the crypt.
Can I combine the catacombs with a bike ride?
Yes, the $66 e-bike tour: 4 to 6 hours along the Appian Way and the Roman aqueducts on an e-mountain bike, with the guided catacombs visit as an option, 4.9 across 1,943 reviews.
Which is the best rated?
The e-bike tour, 4.9 across 1,943 reviews. The two underground tours are both 4.6, on 3,744 and 7,499 reviews; the two-day plan is 4.8 on 21.
