We had previously been to the other caves where the whole tour was awful with a dreadful guide. This tour and guide restored our faith. It was not only excellent value for money but our guide Adelaide was superb. Incredible English, knowledge and clearly highly interested in the tunnels and their history. If you only have time to do one tunnel tour then please make it Galleria Borbinica

A truly fasinating tour and Martina was an excellent guide. A great addition to our itinerary and I would have been tempted to do the other tours as well had they been available at a time we could make it! Restoring the tunnels is a terrific enterprise. Bravo

The tunnels were amazing and the cars/bikes we came across too. Steep twisty steps down (about 90) not for the faint hearted. Tour guide was brilliant and very informative. Would recommend trip

Our Guide was very good, very informative. The history on the aqueducts and the tunnels very interesting. The attraction is worth a visit.

This was a fun and interesting experience. I would recommend it for all ages, even little ones. Just beware of some tricky steps if you have physical limitations.

The tour was very cool and the guide knew quite a lot, but the group seemed far too big. Everyone had to crowd around just to hear the guide and unfortunately I feel we missed a lot of cool information. Cool things were pointed out but due to the large size of the group it was difficult to truly see everything. If the guide had some sort of microphone or headset system that would be really cool so we could actually hear what was going on and what we were seeing. The groups need to be so much smaller in my opinion.

I was really looking forward to this one, but it was a bit disappointing. First of all, we had like 40 or more people on our tour. Way too much. Our guide was nice and very knowledgeable, but her English was at times very hard to understand. We took the standard tour, which had zero viewings of any water areas. I guess that’s my fault for not reading more carefully, but with all the pictures this company promotes, it’s hard to figure out what’s included. If you like world war history, then go. If not, then skip it.

The tour was very informative about the history of the tunnels from inception to the present. The guide was very fluent in English and was happy to answer questions throughout the tour.

It is a museum and an underground tunnel system that visitors can explore. The Galleria Borbonica is well-preserved and offers tours that take you through its intricate network of tunnels, chambers, and passageways. Along the way, you’ll encounter a blend of art, history, and archaeology, including ancient artifacts, old vehicles, and fascinating displays related to the city's development and the Bourbon family’s legacy. The atmosphere in the Galleria Borbonica is a bit mysterious and intriguing, with its dimly lit spaces and echoing corridors. The tours provide a rich narrative about the history of Naples, from World War II bomb shelters to secret escape routes used by the monarchy. It's a great place for those interested in both history and unique off-the-beaten-path experiences.
