It was too bad that at the last hours they changed the start time from 14:30 to 13:00 and thus we were not able to make the new time due to a prior commitment. If we knew this earlier we could have modified the earlier commitment to even make the new earlier time
A short tour and NO pictures can be taken Michele was an excellent guide and Maria was very helpful.
There are 3 sculptures here and one is more incredible then the next. The veiled truth was incredible, carved out of one piece of marble by it self would be worth seeing, but then you turn and Release from Deception is there and how they carve a net out a piece of marble is just crazy. And then in the middle of the room is The veiled Christ, the highlight of the Chapel IMO. This piece is just absolutly amazing, a must see. Not the scars where the nails were. Then you have all the other sculptures but don't forget to look up and then you head downstairs for an amazing surprise. IMO this is well worth the money. I did a guided tour and got some history but wish I could have stayed upstairs in the Chapel longer. Well worth the price of admission but be aware they do not allow pictures inside.
it was challenging to find the guide in the square for the "voucher exchange point" but they were very accommodating and actually called to see where we were. when I explained I was with elderly parents, they came to meet us outside the chapel and we joined the tour then. it was short and sweet but incredibly informative and I really enjoyed the chapel. veiled christ is quite possibly one of the most exquisite pieces of art I have ever seen and it is not the most interesting even within that chapel. great, great tour! Viator really needs to work on the voucher/ticket pick up point aspect of their tours - it has been very challenging throughout our whole trip.
Beautiful Chapel with breathtaking arts
Guide was very professional with complete explanation of the history of the place
Amazing opportunity to see these amazing statues. I only knew about the Christ statue however the statue with the fishing net is simply baffling. Highly reccomended tour, must see! The guide was with a very good sense of humor as well as very knowledgable.
Our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and took his time to provide all the interesting details. We very much enjoyed the tour. Thank you!
This was our first experience and it took a bit to know who we were looking for but it all went smoothly after that.
Our guide, Danielo, was very informative and we learned so much. They were organized, and the groups moved through in an orderly way so that all could see the sculptures and Veiled Christ.
Our guide, Danilo, was extremely knowledgeable and provided excellent details and info about the chapel and all the sculptures. Would definitely recommend.
The guide is knowledgeable and show history, meaning of the chapel and statutes inside. The timing is good and accurate.
It was a very interesting visit. The sculptures are very impressive and show tremendous virtuosity. The guide was excellent. The only problem was at the beginning of the visit; having booked only two days in advance, I wasn't on the list to enter, although in the end it was resolved and we got in without any issues.
Our Sansevero Chapel Guided Tour was absolutely exceptional. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating historical insights that brought the art and stories of the chapel to life. We were running late, yet she graciously waited for us and ensured we didn’t miss a thing. Her kindness, patience, and passion made this one of the most memorable and truly spiritual experiences of our entire three-week trip.
Danilo our tour guide was very informative, we enjoyed the experience of going back in time . Recommend this tour
The chapel was sold out so i bought the Italian tour and used it to get in to see The Veiled Christ though I didn’t speak Italian.
Beautiful sculptures and church. We are from US but booked late so only option was Italian tour. It got us in, though.
I only found tickets in Italian, the girl approached me and asked me if I spoke Italian, I told her, from then on she was very concerned about me so that I would understand, the best guide, 10 out of 10, she explained very well, very kind, she knows everything.

Danilo, our guide, made all the difference. Has a lot of knowledge and passed everything with a lot of sympathy. The visit was fascinating.

It is essential to have a guide to understand all the Masonic symbolism and the origin of the chapel. Ode to sculpture
Auto-translated
This ticket makes sense if one cannot get one through direct sales. You are brought to the chapel together with another group and are told things on the 100 meters there that I certainly did not want to know. The tour guide was quite rude and friendly to his colleague and seemed aloof. To enter the chapel, it is sufficient; you do not have to use the headphones, but the guy did not help at all. What a shame…

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass das Erlebnis nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat. Die Cappella Sansevero ist eines unserer beliebtesten Angebote, und wir legen großen Wert auf die Qualität unserer Führungen. Ihr Kommentar zur Haltung des Guides wird intern weitergegeben, denn das Engagement gegenüber den Gästen ist für uns nicht verhandelbar.
Zu den Kopfhörern möchten wir kurz erklären: In der Kapelle ist lautes Sprechen nicht gestattet, weshalb die Audiogeräte zwar technisch optional, in der Praxis aber notwendig sind, um die Führung vollständig zu verfolgen und das Erlebnis für alle Besucher angenehm zu gestalten.
Wir hoffen, Ihnen bei einer nächsten Gelegenheit ein besseres Erlebnis bieten zu können.
An experience to have, absolutely. Majestic works that leave you speechless.
A true masterpiece
