Private Tour Guide for St. Clemente Rome

I'm looking for a private tour guide to take us to the lower levels of the St. Clemente as well as possibly the houses of the Caelian hill. I know we can go on our own but are looking for someone to give us more information on the history. Any recommendations? We are a group of four.

Thanks

I would recommend Through Eternity. We have used them for three previous trips and always been extremely pleased with their expertise and professionalism.

In fact, this summer we will be taking a private tour to Underground Rome, including San Clemente, with them!

They offer a ride range of group and private tours, and will be happy to customize what you need. I'd encourage you to look at their reviews on TripAdvisor to put your mind at ease that they are a great company. (I have no affiliation with them, but I do like to recommend them as I've been thrilled with them in the past.)

Thank you. Will you be seeing the catacombs with this? We are trying to find a tour without them.

Yes, we are doing a half day tour with them this summer. I think it's called Underground Rome or something similar. It focuses on San Clemente, a small Roman house (or houses?) nearby, and includes a visit to one of the catacombs.

I believe that they offer the tour in both a private tour and a small group tour. I'd encourage you to e-mail the company to inquire about your specific date and wish list. They're very easy to communicate with. And their tour guides are truly top notch.

Hi Peanut,

In 2016, May family and I toured San Clemente with Marta Marsili. It turned out to be one of our favorite sites of the trip. I highly recommend her.

My husband and I are headed to Rome again this May and will be touring with Daniela Hunt, who has many favorable reviews. I noticed she lists the Caelain Hill as one of her “Underground Rome” tours.

One of the great things about hiring a personal guide is coming up with your own itinerary, thereby not wasting time on a site you don’t have a desire to visit.

Hope you are able to find someone who fits the bill! Have a great trip!
