Our tour guide Roberta...

Roopama_K, Apr 2026

Our tour guide Roberta walked is through the old squares and streets of naples to the underground restored ancient sites of Naples. Her narrative was very interesting and she was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. It was a good experience.

Lovely morning tour

Emily_D, Feb 2026

We really enjoyed this tour. The underground section was a bit shorter than we would have liked, but the guide was very friendly and well informed. It was a lovely way to spend a morning in Naples. There's also a great little cafe in the square where the tour started, with excellent salad, decent coffee and toilets!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We truly value your comments and hope to welcome you back on another tour soon. Warm regards, Customer Service Team

Excellent tour filled with history

Sierra_W, Jan 2026

Excellent tour! We visited the winding streets of the historic center as well as several churches and the underground. Without a guide I wouldn’t have understood and truly appreciated the underground ruins. Guide 1/31 at 10am was very knowledgeable in her history!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Customer, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the winding streets, beautiful churches, and the fascinating underground with us. Your kind words mean a lot to us and to the guide as well. We hope to welcome you back for more discoveries soon! Kind Regards, Customer Service Team

Unforgettable trip in Naples

Albert_L, Dec 2025

It’s fantastic. The tour guide Valerina is very knowledgeable about the history of Naples particularly the underground city, she’s also very friendly. I learned quite a bit from this tour, which I felt I had to spend much much more time reading by myself.

Great Introduction to Historic Center of Naples

Nick_R, Nov 2025

Very informative about the history of the city. The tour only included one section of underground but it was very fascinating. Lots of tid bits about Naples culture and went to some amazing churches. Overall very much worth the cost and a great introduction to the historic center of Naples.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Very short underground portion

Trudy_R, Oct 2025

The underground portion is very short. You have to like churches Guides at end of season are clearly tired.

Not so much of tour underground

Jane_B, Oct 2025

Focused mostly on churches (above ground), went underground for about 30 minutes of total 2 hour tour.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you joined the tour and appreciate your comments. This experience is designed to offer a unique comparison between the Naples we see today above ground — with its vibrant churches and lively streets — and the hidden, ancient world beneath the surface. While the underground portion may seem brief, it plays a key role in showing how the city's history is layered, literally and culturally. From Roman ruins to medieval tunnels, it’s a glimpse into how Naples has evolved over centuries. We hope the contrast between past and present gave you a deeper appreciation of the city's complexity. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we’d love to welcome you back for more discoveries! Warm regards, Customer Service Team

Umberto was extremely...

Alexander_D, Sep 2025

Umberto was extremely knowledgeable and guided us safely through the busy old town Naples streets, allowing us to experience Napoli as a local. His passion for Naples really helped us understand the history and culture of the area. So much to see and really enjoyed the underground tour. 5 stars

Kind Regards, Customer Service Team

More 'over' than 'under' ground

Robert_S, Sep 2025

This was billed as a tour of the Naples Underground but of the 140 minute tour, only about 30 minutes was spent in the Underground. The bulk of the tour was a slow walk down a few streets and covered some Naples history that we had already received on other tours. The guide was also somewhat hard to understand (Eglish was not her native language) but she did try to explain things as best as she could.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Customer, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. As clearly described on the event page, the tour includes both the Naples Underground and a guided walk through the historic center to provide context and enrich the visit. Many guests appreciate this combination, as it helps them imagine how the city evolved over time and brings its history to life. Regarding the guide’s English: while our guides are not native speakers, they are all certified professionals, and we’ve consistently received positive feedback about their clarity and ability to engage visitors. Most guests value the passion and storytelling that our guides bring, which often makes the experience feel like a journey back in time. We truly appreciate your input and hope you’ll consider joining us again for another tour that might better suit your preferences. Warm regards, Customer Service Team

Nice tour

Gabriela_P, Jun 2025

I mixed up the start time, customer service was excellent, replied quickly so we could still join the tour a little later. The tour itself was good, Gues there is only so much to see in Naples old town, the underground part was better, the tour guide was good, sometimes a bit short in explaining certain things but all in all good

Rita_F, Jun 2025

It was phenomenal. Our tour guide Novelle Maria was so so knowledgeable and felt we had the best history lesson in Naples ever. Highly recommend it.

Good source of information and to get a feel for the area and history.

Hunyen_L, Apr 2025

Was a in the city waiting for my cousin to arrive so went on this tour. The guide was so informative and knew so much history and his passion for the city of Napoli and its vast history was very evident. He made some great recommendations and answered all our questions. The tour also helped me get a better layout of the city as i continue to explore the rest of the day. The Napoli underground we saw was very interesting and got me more interested so i then booked The Napoli Sotterranea to continue the venture into the underground network of Napoli.

Fabulous

Joshua_O, Aug 2024

My time in Naples, albeit brief, was nothing short of splendid, particularly due to Maria’s exceptional guidance. With only half a day to explore, she masterfully curated an itinerary that showcased the city's most significant sights, all the while remaining remarkably flexible in accommodating my various requests. Maria’s deep knowledge of the area, coupled with her adeptness in engaging with the locals, greatly enriched my experience. She was diligent in ensuring that the items I purchased along our walk were of the highest quality, often insisting that vendors provide receipts. Moreover, she introduced me to a delightful local pizzeria—a visit to Naples simply wouldn't be complete without savoring its renowned pizza. In sum, I absolutely recommend Maria as a guide; one would be fortunate indeed to have her expertise on hand.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Dear valued Guest, Thank you for your very positive feedback. Your comments are very important for us to improve our services and we are glad you had a lovely experience with us and we met your travelling expectations.
