Not recommended for anyone who is claustrophobic or with poor mobility, you start the tour down many steps and slopes underneath an ancient church. The history of the giant cisterns that were excavated from the tuff as part of a water collection system for the growing city many centuries ago, is fascinating. The guide takes you through several chambers and some very narrow link passages as all is explained. Back in the open air we also visited what remained from a Greek theatre and a Roman theatre.. layers of history and building now disguising the origins of the buildings. Tour lasted just under two hours. About a twenty minute walk back to the central train station via ancient cobbled streets was most interesting. The guide was very informative.

Full description

Enjoy a unique underground experience with the official Underground Naples guided tour. Your guide will take you through 2,400 years of history, from the ancient Greeks to modern times, unveiling the “womb” of Naples from an archaeological, historical, anthropological, and geological point of view. The tour includes a visit to the Greek-Roman Aqueduct, the remains of the Roman Theater, and the Summa Cavea, a new fragment of the Roman theater just brought back to life.  The guide will speak English or Italian, or you can follow the visit in other languages, thanks to the free multilingual app that you can download at the beginning of your visit.  In addition, a brochure in several languages is always delivered in order to follow the visit better. You may also take pictures along the way. Choose the tour and pizza option to enjoy some tasty pizza at the end of your tour of the Naples Underground.
