★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice tour of catacombs, different than the other one in the city, San Gennaro. I actually preferred that one, mostly cause of the Balducci portraits around the skulls, which are impressive.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really interesting visit. The ticket includes a guided tour organised by a cooperative that seeks to involve young Napolitans in their culture heritage and provide work. Our guide Luca was great. The catacombs are really interesting, very different from those in Rome these were used by nobles in the 17th century who decorated their burial places with frescoes and their own skulls!!! Including the artist Giovanni Balducci. Learning about the draining of the corpses was macabre!! Ticket also includes a visit to San Gennaro - the other catacombs nearby (which are very different) two for the price of one!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent guided tour. Tour guide was very enthusiastic and the catacombs are fascinating. Tours run often in Italian and in English. The Sanita district of Napoli is worth a visit, it's easy to reach from the centre and houses many interesting places and has an unique atmosphere.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I recommend going there. It's a walked tour in the price of the ticket, some of the things you find there are really unique and quite disturbing. The money from the tickets support the local community so it's worth giving it a try.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The guided tours are very informative and as has already been said are organised by a youth cooperative. Proceeds from your ticket go right back to the community -- an interesting visit and a wonderful initiative.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Entrance to the catacombs is directly from the beautiful church. A very interesting place, especially the tombs of a noble with painted skeletons or nics, where draining rituals were done. One ticket is valid for Gaudioso Catacombs and for Gennaro Catacombs as well.
