Naples Underground: 90-Minute Guided Tour in English
A 90-minute storytelling tour with a licensed local guide, in English only.
Description
Discover the secret history of Naples on a fully guided 90-minute tour led by an English-speaking historian. Designed for curious travellers who want more than just a quick peek, this tour goes deeper into the Greek, Roman and WWII layers of the city.
From the Piazza San Gaetano entrance, you'll descend 40 metres underground and follow your guide through the ancient aqueduct, the rediscovered Roman theatre, and the war shelters where Neapolitan families slept during 1943. Expect anecdotes, archive photos and time to ask questions — this tour is run in English only, with a smaller group size for a more intimate experience.
