The tour is very authentic. Alessandro has a very broad knowledge and organizes the tour with wit and passion. I can highly recommend it!
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.
