The visit to underground Naples was a wonderful experience to say the least. The guide, Roberto if I remember correctly, with his beautiful Neapolitan accent and with jokes and jokers told the story of the undergrounds since their inception the simple and clear way and kept the group's attention excellently. Congratulations!View original review in ItalianLuigia

As you venture below the bustling Spanish Quarters, discover narrow tunnels and expansive cisterns that connect layers of history to the streets above.
From the start of the common era
Descend into underground spaces initially excavated by the Greeks in 470 BCE to create cisterns for water collection, marking the city's earliest urban planning efforts! Remains of the Roman aqueduct provide insight on the genius engineering and architecture of the ancient world.
To twentieth century repurposing
Walk along layers of medieval and Renaissance era changes, up to its use during World War II. Thousands of Neapolis residents took shelter from overhead bombing, creating a makeshift sanctuary beneath the streets. Your knowledgeable guide will be with you every step of the way. Understand the fascinating history of the underground restoration efforts starting in the 1960s, which transformed these forgotten spaces into key historical and cultural sites.
