We were lucky enough to have a French-speaking guide (not originally planned), as there were many of us. It was Augustin who guided us with brio and humor. He taught us so much about the history of Naples! The little story within the big story, full of anecdotes. A must-do

Really fascinating tour of underground passages and spaces beneath Naples, with entertaining and informative guide. Some passages a pretty tight (speaking as a 6'3 person) but managable. There are also more easily navigable options for people who need/prefer them. Went with kids (7, 12 and 14) and they found it absorbing and fun. Can sometimes be a bit hard to hear with echos/noise from other groups, but only occasionally. Ordering tickets through Headout was straightforward - we arrived at the entrance about 15min early which made checking details etc easy - looked a bit hectic for those who arrived in the last 5min or so, with multiple tours starting. Very friendly staff and guides - grazie!
