Very dissapointed for the price paid.

Clare_R, June 2026

This tour was expensive for what it is. We met our guide in the square, and were given a translating device with an earpiece to listen to the guide. The translating device spoke with an American accent and there was a delay between the guide speaking and the device translating. A couple of times everyone in the group lost sound and the guide seemed annoyed with the man who was there to give out the devices which makes me think this is not the only time the listening devices have gone down. It was difficult to know which piece of art / sculpture the guide was talking about at any given time and she seemed to flit between random facts and information, like she was just relaying facts, it all seemed disjointed. The veiled Christ is beautiful, there is no mistaking this fact, and the chapel ( now no longer a chapel but a small museum) is very ornate with lots of statues, as are the anatomical machines which are very interesting to look at but it was costly for what it was, did not seem good value at all, and no photos are allowed. I would recommend booking early and getting an audio guide at the chapel itself rather than choosing this tour.

The tour was outstanding....

Margaret_S, May 2026

The tour was outstanding. There is no way you could appreciate the chapel without a guide to explain the art and sculptures, particularly the vieled Christ.

Response from Host, June 2026

Terrible experice

Thomas_S, May 2026

We had a terrible experience. We received all the instructions about the meeting point (exact address) and time (10am for a tour start at 10:15). We were at the exact address at 9:55 and when the guide was still not there at 10:15, I contacted the Vox Customer care who told me the guide would come anytime. 15min later when still no one was there Customer Care told me it's because the previous tour is delayed. Eventually the guide show up at 11:15 for the next tour pretending to have been at exact same place where we have been all the time, which couldn't be true and confirming that customer care had no clue of what was going on.We eventually went to the chapel with the tour of 11:15 which was itself delayed by 30min which meant that it started at 11:45. I would definitely not recommand to book this tour with Viator.

Response from Host, June 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear about the significant delays and the confusion regarding the meeting point and schedule. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been, especially after arriving on time and receiving inconsistent updates. We would like to clarify that our customer support team relies on real-time information provided by our local operations team, and in this case it is clear that there was a breakdown in communication and timing on the day of your tour. This is not the level of coordination we aim to provide. We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused and the impact this had on your experience. Your feedback is extremely important and will be reviewed internally with our local team to help prevent situations like this in the future. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Sincerely, VoxCity

Amazing Must See

Nancy_O, May 2026

This is a must see in Naples. The place is absolutely amazing. The veiled Christ is moving and solemn at the same time. Loved this excursion.

Response from Host, May 2026

Good afternoon, Thank you so much for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience in Naples and found the Veiled Christ as moving and extraordinary as we do. It truly is a unique masterpiece and one of the city’s must-see treasures. We hope to welcome you again on another experience in the future! Many thanks, VoxCity

We did eventually get in...

Ronald_R, May 2026

No tix available at the official site, but this tour had openings. The cost was more than double, but seeing this art was on our must see list. Entry was for 10am, meet at 9:30. No tour person at 930, or 10. We found folks at the meeting place haaving booked a 930 entry also still waiting. Someone from the tour company showed up at 10:10 and we were told we would enter at 10:45. The audio gear was distributed and the tour headed out at 10:30 walking the long way to kill some time while the guide gave us some background. We entered the space at 10:45 and got to spend 20 minutes or so. It felt like enough time to enjoy the feature piece and the other great sculptures.

Nice tour of a beautiful chapel and incredible sculpture

Katrina_W, Apr 2026

The guide (don't remember the name 11:45 on April 24) gave a lot of background information about Naples, Raimondo Sansavero, and the sculptures in the chappell. I was originally planning to visit without a tour, but could not get a ticket from the ticket office (sold out) for the last two days I was in town, but found an available ticket for this tour. I'm glad I did - the chapel is an incredible sight, but I appreciated getting the background information as well.

Response from Host, May 2026

Good morning, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and found the background information about Naples, Raimondo di Sangro, and the sculptures in the chapel so valuable. We’re especially glad the tour helped make your visit possible when tickets were otherwise sold out, and that it added to your appreciation of such an incredible site. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon on another tour! Best regards, Vox City

Muy decepcionante por un mal uso de la tecnología para maximizar beneficios

Raul_S, June 2026

Una actividad en la que tenía puesta una enorme expectativa se convirtió en una de las mayores decepciones por culpa de la organización. En primer lugar, cierta confusión al ver que los asistentes somos de muchas nacionalidades a pesar de que la actividad se prometía en español. Cierto alivio cuando nos explican que la guía hablará en italiano pero un sistema que estrenaban ese día haría de traductor simultáneo personalizado. Fastidio cuando comprobamos que la traducción necesita tiempo desde que la guía habla hasta que se nos entrega el audio correspondiente, Esos segundos de retraso, que no sé cuantificar, no son demasiado importantes cuando el grupo se desplaza pero son insoportables cuando la guía habla mientras te mira o se refiere a un detalle concreto que está a la vista. INSOPORTABLE cuando ya estás dentro de la Capilla y se pierde toda conexión con internet de manera que la traducción deja de funcionar y la guía, que no habla español, recurre al inglés para todo el grupo para explicar detalles tan sutiles como los requeridos para explicar el arte allí contenido. Como la Capilla no permite cámaras tampoco puedes hacer fotos para buscarte después por tu cuenta las explicaciones. Y así es como uno de los rincones más mágicos de Nápoles se convierte en un fiasco. Mi sensación es que cuando se quiere exprimir al turista de diez países/idiomas distintos con una sola guía y sin haber probado antes la viabilidad del sistema, los engañas.

Da evitare

Paolo_S, June 2026

Gruppo multilingua con apparati trasmittenti non funzionanti, rissa quasi sfiorata tra un passante e la nostra guida. Direi che non vi sia nulla altro da aggiungere.

The organization was...

Cinzia_F, June 2026

The organization was efficient, communication with clients was timely and clear, and the guide was very skilled and helpful.

A truly exciting experience

Verena_D, May 2026

It was a truly exciting experience and much more engaging than I expected. Admiring the Veiled Christ in person leaves one speechless: the beauty of the work and the incredible mastery with which it was created evoke deep emotion. The visit was not limited to the Veiled Christ, but also allowed us to discover other extraordinary works present in the Sansevero Chapel Museum, delving into their history, significance, and techniques of realization. A special thanks to our guide, who, with passion and expertise, dedicated more time to us than expected, making every explanation interesting and engaging. I carry with me the memory of an experience rich in emotions, art, and culture, which I highly recommend to anyone visiting Naples.
