Naples Archaeological Museum and Napoli Sotterranea Private Tour

Discover two of Naples’ most fascinating worlds—one above ground, one hidden below—on this 5.5-hour private tour combining the Naples National Archaeological Museum and the legendary Napoli Sotterranea. With a dedicated private guide for the first part of your experience and all tickets included, you’ll dive deep into the ancient history that defines the soul of the city.

Your tour begins at the world-renowned Naples National Archaeological Museum, home to one of the richest collections of Roman antiquities in the world. With your private guide leading the way, you’ll explore masterpieces from Pompeii, Herculaneum, and beyond—mosaics, frescoes, sculptures, and everyday objects that have survived for millennia. You’ll see the famous Farnese Collection, marvel at the sensual beauty of the Secret Cabinet, and gain a deeper understanding of how ancient Romans lived, loved, and worshipped.

Your guide will tailor the visit to your interests, focusing on highlights or diving deeper into lesser-known treasures, always weaving in stories that bring the past vividly to life. This is your chance to explore the museum in an intimate and engaging way, far beyond what guidebooks can offer.

You’ll continue to the second part of your experience: Napoli Sotterranea, a journey into the hidden layers beneath the historic center. Here, you’ll join the official group tour led by expert underground guides of Napoli Sotterranea. Descend 40 meters below the surface to explore an intricate network of tunnels and cavities carved into the soft tuff stone.

This surreal underworld reveals centuries of history, from Greek-Roman aqueducts to bomb shelters used during World War II. The contrast with the vibrant streets above is striking—and unforgettable. Even though this part is not private, it’s conducted in organized groups and led by knowledgeable staff specialized in the underground history of Naples.

By the end of the tour, you will have explored both the monumental legacy of ancient civilizations and the hidden, mysterious depths of Naples. It's an enriching and immersive experience that offers a full perspective on the city’s layered identity—both above and below.
