Naples: Catacombs of San Gennaro Entry Ticket & Guided Tour

1.Catacombs of San Gennaro Entry Ticket & Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 7,941 reviews · 45 min · from $15Our pick

Spend about 45 to 50 minutes beneath Naples with an English or Italian guide at the Catacombs of San Gennaro. See early Christian paintings, fifth-century mosaics, underground basilicas, and Bishop Paul II’s baptismal font. Your ticket also includes San Gaudioso and Basilica di Santa Maria della Sanità for 12 months.

“this was a very interesting tour and good value for money. if coming from the old town, it's quite a walk and all uphill, to arrive at the church or San Genmaro. we arrived earlier than planned and we're accommodated on an earlier tour. the guide was very interesting and his English was perfect. the catacombs have a kind of carpet on the ground, which makes it easier to walk around. this tour however, wouldn't be suitable for anyone with mobility problems, as there are a lot of steps to descend, before arriving at the start of the tour. amazing walk through history, well worth the money.”
