The experience

You board a business class high-speed train in Rome and arrive in Naples where your private guide meets you at the station. Breakfast is a traditional sfogliatella pastry and coffee before you descend 40 meters below the city streets into Naples Underground: a network of ancient tunnels and caves the Greeks carved in complete darkness to bring clean water to the city, later used as shelter during WWII bombings. Your guide walks you through the history as you move through the caverns, then back up into the maze of ancient alleys that make up the Greek city of Neápolis.

The afternoon moves through the sensory overload Naples is known for. Via dei Tribunali, one of the city's most historically influential streets, fills with traditional food stalls where you stop to try street snacks. Your guide navigates you through the intensity (the sights, sounds and smells that come at you all at once), and takes you to the port where Vesuvius rises across the water. You sit down for Neapolitan pizza and beer with those views as your backdrop. Then comes a walk through the wide boulevards of Royal Naples, past the Royal Palace in Piazza del Plebiscito and the domed church of San Francesco di Paola, before you finish with a babà pastry and board the business class train back to Rome.

What exactly is Naples Underground and what will I see down there?

Naples Underground is a network of ancient Greek tunnels and caves carved 40 meters below the historic center of Naples. The Greeks dug them in complete darkness to channel clean water to the city above. In more recent times, citizens sheltered in the caverns during WWII bombings. Your guide walks you through the tunnels and explains both the ancient engineering and the wartime history.

How much walking is involved in this tour from Rome?

The day includes guided walks through the ancient alleys of Naples, the street stalls of Via dei Tribunali, and the wide boulevards of Royal Naples, plus the descent and ascent in Naples Underground. The tour spans 8 hours total, including the train ride both ways, so expect several hours on foot through the city streets.

What food and drinks are included in the price?

Breakfast is a traditional sfogliatella pastry and coffee; lunch is Neapolitan pizza and beer with views of Vesuvius; street food snacks come at Via dei Tribunali; and the day ends with a babà pastry. The business class train tickets from Rome to Naples and back are also included.

Do I need to book this tour in advance, or can I join a group when I arrive?

This is a private tour, so it is booked in advance for your group alone. Your guide meets you at Naples train station after you arrive on the business class high-speed train from Rome.
