Piazza San Gaetano, 316, 80138 Napoli NA, Italy

Best Archaeological museum in Italia

T	Tom Krebs on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cost 7 Euro. It descends to original Greek construction, with Roman construction on top of the Greek. The Roman market was covered over by a landslide and then eventually the church you enter into was built on top. It was well lit, ventilated and the guide was very informative. It's not as big as the aqueduct tour across the street or the Bourbon Tunnel tour over by the Old Wild West steak house, but worth a 45 minute gaze. You see an ancient Roman street, a market, and the interior of what I think was a Roman bath (I don't recall at this point as I did many other tours and walked around Pompeii for 5 hours and the Herculeum for a good 2+ hours).
S	Sydney N on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An excellent taste of what the Roman underground is like beneath the modern city of Naples. It is on the small side (however not claustrophobic), but I think if it were any larger it would not be as impactful. Every room has a meaning and the video guide is a good primer to understand what you are about to see. Because it is a small place, voices carry and you do have to pace yourself with official guided groups and the like. There was a particularly loud and obnoxious group that happened to be in the space with me at the time. My only advice to staff would be to include a note in the video guide or info pamphlet to be respectful and use appropriate language/volume. Altogether, for the price of 9€, I think it was worth it!

P	Pete Pickhart on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well worth the price of admission. We didn't take the tour and wandered around by ourselves. You can read about the displays or download the app.
M	Minh Long on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Despite of being small and feeling a bit too commercial, it was a nice experience to go underground and see another layer of Naples’ history. We felt it was a right decision to pay the extra 1eur to take the guided tour since she explained things clearly and pointed out details we might had missed ourselves.
R	Rocco Brunori on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting tour and lovely guide (Orazio). Worth the extra 2 euros for his knowledge and fun attitude
J	Javier Vergara on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic ruins that take you back to Ancient Roman times. However, the complex is extremely bad organised and the people that work there give you contradictory and even false information. Don't rely on what the people that work there tell you and just try to visit early and check it on your own.
P	Paula Pascual on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful place. Awful organisation. We went there and asked when the next English tour would be, and they told us 5pm and lasted for 50 minutes. So we went ahead and bought the tickets. We still had 40 minutes until 5 so we had a stroll around and came back at the meeting point. When we arrived they told us there was no tour at 5pm in English and if we wanted we could just walk around by ourselves, because the ticket was no refundable. We tried doing so with the audio guide online and found most places closed, chapels with the lights turned off, museums also closed. When trying to figure out where to go next to visit the spots marked down in the map, the guy that previously spoke to us in English pretended he only spoke Italian. He was closing down all rooms and we basically had to leave. The place was very pretty but it was an utter waste of time and money. Felt scammed.
