Description

Would you like to visit the underground of Naples? On this tour, we'll discover a hidden side of this city by venturing underground to learn about the exciting history of the tunnels and wells that lie beneath the surface of the Spanish quarter.

Tour Details

At the selected time, we'll meet at Vico Sant'Anna di Palazzo, 52, to start this tour of underground Naples. Are you ready to take a trip back in time?

We'll access the underground of the capital of Campania through stairs that'll take us over 40 meters deep. Inside we'll find a labyrinth of tunnels and cisterns dating back more than 2,400 years, from the Greco-Roman period!

This is a completely unknown side of Naples, a hidden and silent underground city that was even used as an air-raid shelter during the Second World War.

As we walk through the depths of Naples, we'll uncover many mysteries and legends related to these tunnels that once served to supply water to the city. During the visit, we'll also see antique pieces of furniture and many items from the 19th century, as the subway tunnels were also used as a dumping ground.

After one hour of exploring, we'll return to the surface and end the tour in Via Chiaia, very close to the starting point.

Genial experiencia en Nápoles subterráneo. Una auténtica aventura pasear bajo la ciudad por sus estrechos pasadizos y descubrir la historia que esconden. Plan excelente y, si os toca con Grazia, lo pasaréis de maravilla porque es una guía espectacular. Conoce lo que cuenta y es muy divertida. 100% recomendable. Eso sí, se bajan 40 metros bajo el suelo y algunos pasadizos son muy estrechos, aunque hay opciones de pasarlos por otros más anchos. Translate this opinion into English.

A fantastic experience in Naples Underground. A true adventure, wandering beneath the city through its narrow passageways and discovering the history hidden within. It's an excellent plan, and if you're paired with Grazia, you'll have a wonderful time because she's a spectacular guide. She knows her stuff and is very entertaining. 100% recommended. However, you'll descend 40 meters underground, and some passageways are very narrow, although there are options to go through wider ones. Opinion translated. Show original.

Il giro nelle antiche cisterne molto interessante Tommy ci ha accompagnati con grande preparazione e tanta simpatia, in un mondo sconosciuto e affascinante. Bellissima iniziativa svolta da ragazzi nati nel quartiere. Una bella storia di rinascita! SUPER CONSIGLIATO! Translate this opinion into English.

Esperienza affascinante a Napoli Sotterranea, guidati da Massimo che con passione ci ha fatto vivere storia e leggende nei cunicoli della città. Emozionante il racconto dei bombardamenti e della distribuzione dell’acqua. Indimenticabile la figura del “munaciello” e l’energia contagiosa del presidente Antonio, 81 anni di pura vitalità. Da non perdere!

Esperienza molto interessante raccontata con maestria ed un pizzico di sana ironia da Tommy, guida che fa parte del gruppo che si occupa di dar luce a questo patrimonio italiano di cui si parla veramente poco. Devo fare i complimenti a questi ragazzi per quello che fanno e per come sanno raccontarlo.
