About Vatican Necropolis Tour

I’m Davide Ferri, a licensed Rome guide with an archaeology degree from La Sapienza. I’ve spent 12 years leading visitors through underground Rome — the Scavi, the catacombs, and everything beneath the city. Vatican Necropolis Tour is an independent guide to the Vatican necropolis and underground tours — I compare what’s actually bookable so you can book the right tour at the right price.

What I do

I research the underground tours available in Rome and at St. Peter’s, read through traveller reviews, and write honest, practical guidance on which tour suits which visitor. I am not a tour operator, not the Vatican, not the Ufficio Scavi — I’m an independent guide. When you’re ready to book, I send you to GetYourGuide, a licensed reseller, to complete your booking.

How I’m funded

I earn a small affiliate commission when you book through my links, at no extra cost to you. That’s what keeps this site free and independent. It never changes which tours I recommend — see my affiliate disclosure for the full picture.
