We enjoyed the tour led by Alex. He explained to us the history and many interesting story during the tour in the underground. We’re glad that we took this tour!

Amazing history beneath your feet!

Ian_h, Nov 2022

Amazing to learn the aqueducts we’re started by the Greeks and that they were used to store rubble from bombings of WW2 and housed thousands during bombing raids. Simone the English speaking guide was funny and engaging.

A highlight of our trip!

Jennifer_O, Nov 2022

Tour guide was informative, engaging, funny and kind (sensitive and thoughtful about people who didn't want to go in the small spaces). Pointed out extraordinary things (graffiti, etc.) and the whole experience was fascinating and lovely.

The guide was extremely entertaining and informative. Most of the history was new to me. Would highly recommend

Our guide was informative, interesting, amusing and had very understandable English.

Peggy_S, Oct 2022

The tunnels! We were assured of the length and height of the tunnels which made them very non threatening. Loved the history of the tunnels from the origin to present day clearing. Enjoyed hearing of the little monks and, of course, the “chillies” good luck symbols. The staircase down was wonderful.

Interesting and unusual...

Interesting and unusual tour. Alex was a very entertaining and informative guide. It took a little while to find the location, so set off in plenty of time.

An enjoyable tour underneath the streets of Naples

Brad_W, Oct 2022

This was a very interesting and enjoyable tour. From above, you'd never know about the caverns and tunnels underneath, but it's amazing what was excavated. There are some tight spaces to walk through - its probably best avoided if you're claustrophobic and not suited to young infants and babies. Overall though, we thoroughly enjoyed this experience!

Great Tour, Very Interesting

Jen_A, Sep 2022

This was a great tour - the guide was informative and helpful; love that we were able to climb through the smaller entryways and passages of the underground (those who did not wish to do this could go a larger, alternate way). The guide was easy to follow and you could hear/keep up with him easily. Great tour - highly recommended.
