The guide, Nello, was excellent and knowledgeable. We had a large group at 10 a.m. but Nello made sure everyone could hear his explanations and have a chance to view the highlights. I also was glad to have visited the Sanità neighborhood whose history was touched upon by Nello. The tour was definitely worthwhile and memorable. Photography is not allowed, so no photos to upload!!

The guide was very informative, the catacombs were amazing and the tour groups were not too large. We had arrived late for our original time because of traffic but they put us on the next tour, without an extra charge.

A beautiful, quite incredible visit about the religious past, with the different popes who succeeded one another and everything that was built: tombs and other basilicas.

The catacombs were impressive!! The guide was very clear, and we really appreciated the detailed historical explanations about the different areas and levels of the catacombs. We were also interested in the information provided at the end of the tour about the association’s recent efforts to restore the site for visitors, along with the impact on the neighborhood.

The best part is the guides’ explanations. The social cooperative does a magnificent job in the Sanità neighborhood of Naples. We saw the Catacombs of San Genaro, and, at the guide’s suggestion, we continued the tour to the Catacombs of San Gaudioso, which included a visit to a typical Neapolitan nativity scene—it was a lot of fun. An excellent two-in-one tour!
