⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable, layers-of-history experience on the Appian Way! We visited the Basilica of San Sebastiano fuori le mura on July 7th, and it was an absolute highlight of gulf-cart-our time in Rome. The most incredible part of the tour was the underground tour of the Catacombs that literally emerging right from the ancient tunnels up into the breathtaking, light-filled San Sebastiano church interior. Transitioning from the sacred quiet, historic depths straight into the basilica floor will be your most unforgettable moment. Because just beyond the main altar, the church holds stunning artistic treasures, which including a powerful 15th-century polychrome wooden crucifix, is an area where the tomb of Saint Sebastian “San Sebastiano”! What made this visit truly special, though, was exploring the quieter corners to find things that many casual visitors might completely overlook. Tucked away in the side chapels, we found the incredible marble slab holding the historic "Quo Vadis" footprints attributed to Jesus, as well as the magnificent Salvator Mundi bust—the final masterpiece sculpted by Gian Lorenzo Bernini when he was 82 years old.This basilica is a peaceful, fascinating gem away from Rome's usual crowds. And look underneath the big paintings of marble carved important images with hidden messages from ancient times when Christians had to be discreet about who they were choosing to share their faith in Christ Jesus with. Images will be shared! Do not skip the subterranean tour, and make sure you take your time exploring the side chapels afterward!
We had an amazing 2.5-hour tour of the Appian Way and the Catacombs with Daniela. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history in a way that was engaging and fun. Her upbeat personality and enthusiasm made the entire experience so much fun, and we also appreciated her excellent restaurant recommendations. Daniela truly made our visit memorable—we highly recommend touring with her!

Gaia Mariani was our driver and tour guide - she was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, kept us laughing with her wonderful sense of humor, and made the entire experience enjoyable for everyone. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!
Perfect! Great way to see some of the main points with a guide that really knows about history. We did the tour today and Daniela was the guide. I’ve learned so much and in a very smooth and simpathic way. It was really really nice. My kids also enjoyed it. And as a bonus she told us about some restaurants in the area.
