What To Expect

You will be collected in Naples at a prearranged time and location and transferred to the Naples Underground (if the option with transfer is selected). Traveling back in time, you'll descend flights of stairs in and emerge into the honeycombed underground, with its haunting and mysterious history.
Descending approximately 40 meters below ground, you'll witness a few of the tuffaceous cavities, excavated in the 4th century, and used as cisterns for the water supply of the city for approximately 23 centuries. The environment is spacious and illuminated, except for a short segment where the tour is optional, but full of charm as each person is given a candle to light their own path. The walking surface is smooth and straight. You will visit the air raid shelters from the Second World War too, the War Museum and the Hypogeum Gardens, as well as the Greek-Roman Aqueduct. This part of the tour will last approximately 1-hour.
You'll also visit in the remains of the ancient Roman Theater of Neapolis by entering through a typical Neapolitan house at ground floor. The emperor Nero kept a private dressing room here, for when he performed his shows in Naples. This part of the tour will last approximately 20-minutes.
After the tour of Naples Underground, pizza with soft drink will be served at a typical pizzaria nearby, if this option is selected.
