Female: I love the Crypts & Catacombs Tour because it's an underground adventure. We visit the catacombs, we visit St. Clement's Church, and we visit the bone crypt covered with 3,700 Capuchin friar's skeletons.

Narrator: Our bus is just there for us. Make yourselves comfortable, rest those feet. All right, this corridor has a few of the tombs that have not been disturbed. The group sizes are really small. so that's nice. The Normans came to Rome and they burned St. Clement's church. So in the early 12th century they built a new church to Clement on top of the old one. We have special access to a lot of our sites where we get to go through our own entrance way just for City Wonders clients.

So welcome to the Capuchin crypt. We have six rooms, five of which are entirely decorated with the bones of the Capuchins. Most visitors coming to Rome barely touch the tip of the iceberg, but this tour allows us to go 20 meters, 60 feet below the street level. Our visitors come away with a greater appreciation of Rome as the archaeological lasagna and all the layers of history.
