Together with an expert local guide, you will begin your tour in the underground of Naples.

On this guided path, you will discover the secrets hidden in the ancient Bourbon Tunnel, commissioned by Ferdinand II of Bourbon to create a military route that would allow troops to quickly reach the Royal Palace.

The Bourbon Tunnel is a long underground passage built in the mid-19th century by Ferdinand II of Bourbon and is considered a masterpiece of Bourbon civil engineering. Rediscovered in 2005, the tunnel offers the public an astonishing journey through the underground and the history of Naples. Along the Standard route, you will see the wartime shelter, ancient cisterns of the Bolla Aqueduct, fragments of statues, and vintage cars and motorcycles unearthed during the safety works.
