The underground tour was one of the favourites for our kids (aged 8 and 11). Having spent many days touring Rome and Pompeii and then Herculaneum, they found the small caves and passages and the use of candles for part of the tour a lot more exciting than any of the another ancient ruin. The tour is about 90 minutes... More

Did you know that Romans have already used antiseismic engineering that they have actually learned from Greeks? During this tour you can see how simple and efficient it was and what made the walls of this ancient site to be still preserved. It has been discovered only few years ago! It might not be spectacular to see bit and pieces... More

This brought to life how current Naples sits on the old Greek and Roman ruins - do this in conjunction with a visit to the underground bit of San Lorenzo Maggiore (and do that first). interesting more recent history in the 2nd part of the tour when you go to the cisterns - not one to do if you don't...

Napoli Sotterranea is one of my favourite things to do in Naples. You will visit two sites and both will impress you. The guides are incredibly knowledgeable and speak excellent English. Be warned that it is NOT suitable for people who suffer from claustrophobia, and there are parts that are unsuitable for those of a particularly wide build. I wouldn't... More

A really excellent and worthwhile tour. Highly recommended; our English speaking guide was very good. I don't know when I learnt as much in two hours ever before! More

If you are expecting something like the Seattle Underground tours you will be disappointed. There is not a whole lot to see in the underground, what little there is is staged. This was just the system that brought water from the greek/early roman times. That said, the guide explaining the history, how it was used in WW2 and the side... More

Napoli sotterranea is an experience to recommend. Having the opportunity to discover the city from a different angle, it's something that deserves to be lived. The "journey" in Naples underground is a succession of tunnels and large spaces (historical greek and romans water tank) where you can discover things that you do not imagine even the existence, and then for...
