Private Catacombs Night Tour in Rome with Santa Maria Maggiore After Hours Reviews

Perfect Blend of Mystery and Beauty

I loved the contrast between the underground tombs and the golden mosaics of the basilica. Walking down Bernini’s spiral staircase was an unexpected highlight. LivTours really made us feel like insiders.

An Evening Tour Worth Every Penny

My husband and I booked this tour to avoid the crowds, and it exceeded expectations. The catacombs were silent and hauntingly beautiful. Later, watching the skyline of Rome from Santa Maria Maggiore’s terrace felt like a private performance.

Educational and Atmospheric

Traveling with teens can be tricky, but they were riveted by the catacombs. Marco, our guide, explained everything in a way that kept them engaged. The rooftop view over Rome made the late evening well worth it.

Chilling and Inspiring at the Same Time

Being in the catacombs with no one else around was spine-tingling. Our guide pointed out inscriptions that I would never have noticed. Ending with the relics of the Manger at Santa Maria Maggiore was deeply moving.

A Privileged Experience

I never imagined I’d have Santa Maria Maggiore all to myself. Walking the nave in silence and seeing the mosaics illuminated was unforgettable. The chauffeur service made everything seamless.

Travel Like Royalty

Our driver picked us up right at our hotel, and everything ran so smoothly. The Mausoleum of Constantia had the most beautiful atmosphere. Santa Maria Maggiore’s balcony view over the piazza was spectacular.

An Exclusive Treat

As someone who dislikes crowds, this tour was perfect. We entered the basilica after closing and it felt like our own private chapel. I’ll never forget the hush of the catacombs.

Rome Seen from Above and Below

From the underground tombs of Saint Agnes to the glittering mosaics above the altar, this tour offered such contrasts. Davide’s explanations were clear and insightful. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a deeper experience

A Family Highlight

Our 14-year-old said this was the “coolest” thing he did in Rome, which says it all! The tunnels of the catacombs felt like an adventure. The roof terrace of the basilica offered the best photos of our trip.

Our Favorite Night in Rome

We booked several private tours during our trip, and this was hands-down the best. Giulia’s storytelling in the Mausoleum of Constantia was spellbinding. My parents loved the peace of the evening setting.
