The Standard tour is an historical and emotional journey through the Underground of Naples. Our guides will take you on a fascinating experience bringing the space to life with the story of The Bourbon Tunnel, a small masterpiece of civil engineering designed by architect Errico Alvino in 1853. Surrounded by the aqueduct of the Renaissance, The Tunnel was built for Ferdinand II of Bourbon to provide him a safe route in case of riots. It was used then by the citizens as a bomb shelter during WWII, and later became an impound lot for cars and motorcycles until 1970. In addition, you will see pieces of sculptures and vintage artifacts. We do provide two different entrances both located nearby public transports.
