The guide was very kind and always gave us time to take some photos. Furthermore I liked the fact that with one ticket to one of the 2 catacombs you had the opportunity to visit the other one for free!

Very interesting from a cultural point of view. Outstanding guide who explained the history to us. I don't remember the name but she was a girl who was in group 2 on April 27 at 2:30 pm. Really good and knowledgeable. We had 2kids who were not bored at all. Congratulations. Very good organization. CG of Catania

Although there was no guide in Spanish we took it in Italian and we understood almost everything. The guides were very friendly and the explanations were very clear. A very recommendable experience.

The guide Emanuele was awesome. His English was great, his knowledge was impressive and his passion for the job was genuine. The catacombs were unforgettable. We also had a great guide, Eduardo, was also amazing for the tour of the San Gaudioso catacombs. He was equally impressive and passionate about his job. These tours are a must-see in Naples. Thank you to both guides.
