What you'll see and do
Galleria Borbonica
Discover the secrets that are hidden in the ancient Bourbon Gallery wanted by Ferdinand II of Bourbon in order to create a military path that would allow the troops to reach the Royal Palace in a short time time. The Bourbon Gallery is a long underground tunnel built in the mid-19th century by Ferdinand II of Bourbon and is considered the pride of underground Bourbon civil engineering. Rediscovered in 2005, the gallery offers the public a surprising itinerary in the subsoil and in the history of the Neapolitan city. Through the Standard route it will be possible to appreciate the war refuge, ancient cisterns of the Bolla Aqueduct, fragments of statues, vintage cars and motorcycles found during the safety measures.

The most unusual and unexpected two hours underground!
Although I have been to the museum several times before, I have to say that the adventure tour today has exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Marco, has managed to make our tour particularly informative, personal and entertaining. A true professional! The site has improved and enlarged its offer and counts with four different guided tours. Great time pass for children, teenagers and adults!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that the Adventure Tour exceeded your expectations and that Marco made the experience both informative and entertaining. It’s especially rewarding to know that, even after several previous visits, you were able to discover something new. Thank you for highlighting the variety of tours available and the fact that the experience can be enjoyed by visitors of all ages. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Best Tour We Took in Italy
This was one of the highlights of our Italy trip. My 20 year old grandson, my husband and I all thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It is very well worth taking.
Response from the operator: Dear Cynthia, we’re truly happy to know that the tour was one of the highlights of your trip and that you all enjoyed the experience so much. Knowing that the visit felt worthwhile and added something special to your journey is exactly what we hope for. Thank you for choosing to spend part of your time in Italy with us, and for recommending the tour so warmly!

Bourbonnica tunnel
This is a tour with a guide with a choice of English language or Italian. i chose the English group to make the tour before the end of the day. The guide leader was difficult to hear from the end of the line as there 50 people in the group. Other groups are near, and make noise to themselves, in the group some guests translate from English to Portuguese while the guide speaks making hearing impossible. English is not my first language, I found it was not clear to hear the guides words. A fierce man shouted in a loud voice to “shut up” the other group - I wanted to shake his hand very much, Italians can be sometimes too loud!!! I enjoyed the visit but could not hear clearly in the tunnel.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, unfortunately you did this experience not with us, we have no reservations for the product or under your name in all 2025.

Was very informative and interesting - it even held the attention of our 5 and 6 year old daughters! Also a nice cool break from the summer heat!

This is an amazing experience for people with many different interests. It is fascinating from a geological standpoint, as well as historical and cultural.

Bourbon Tunnel guided tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.
How much does Bourbon Tunnel guided tour cost?
+
Prices start at $27 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naples usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bourbon Tunnel guided tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Naples is not rushed.
Is Bourbon Tunnel guided tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bourbon Tunnel guided tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Bourbon Tunnel guided tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bourbon Tunnel guided tour?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Naples can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Naples and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bourbon Tunnel guided tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Naples within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Naples?
+
On Outty we rank every Naples experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Caserta Royal Palace & Gardens Small Group Tour with Shuttle, Naples Guided Tour by Bike, Naples Pizza and Tiramisu Cooking Class. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Naples?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Naples?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bourbon Tunnel guided tour?

Where is the meeting point for Bourbon Tunnel guided tour?
+

What languages is Bourbon Tunnel guided tour offered in?
+

+
