Fabulous time in Baia Areas
Domenico our driver was incredible. He was punctual, kind and a joy to have as a driver. Pie guide Tomaso was fabulous as well. We saw magnificent ruins and we were the only tourists at them! It was amazing not having any crowds. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned so much. The van was very big, clean and comfortable. We weee 4 adults and one child. It was the perfect way to see Baia and the surrounding areas.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Domenico made your journey so enjoyable with his punctuality and kindness, and that Tomaso provided such a fabulous and insightful tour of Baia and the surrounding areas. Experiencing the ruins without the crowds must have been truly special, and we’re so glad you could enjoy them in such a unique way. It’s also great to know the van’s comfort made the trip smooth for your whole group. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for more discoveries in the future!

Sunken city of Baia: a wonder!
Unforgettable experience with Nemo Sub! We were lucky enough to discover the sunken city of Baia thanks to Antimo and Michele di Nemo Sub, two passionate and highly trained professionals. On board their particular vehicle, a sort of mini submersible, we were able to admire the archaeological remains kept under the waters of the gulf, living a unique and suggestive experience. Antimo and Michele guided us competently, enriching the visit with historical details, curiosities and anecdotes that made the trip even more engaging. Their sympathy, availability and passion for the sea and cultural heritage make this excursion something really special. If you want to discover Baia from a different and fascinating perspective, Nemo Sub is your best choice. An experience that I highly recommend to anyone who loves history, the sea and authentic emotions. Gen. Pig Marcello & family (Danielle, Lorenza, Luffe, Livia and Laura)
Response from the operator: Siamo felici che l’esperienza con Antimo e Michele di Nemo Sub sia stata così unica e coinvolgente. La vostra descrizione cattura perfettamente la magia di scoprire Baia dal nostro mini sommergibile e ci fa piacere sapere che la loro professionalità, passione e simpatia abbiano reso il tour indimenticabile. Sarà un piacere accogliervi nuovamente per altre avventure tra mare e storia!

Well, they didn't give us enough time...
<p>Well, they didn't give us enough time to fully explore Cuma. Then, the water quality was too bad to see the underwater city of Baiae. Even worse, we weren't given any time to explore the above water ruins of Baiae. I feel that the tour spent too long on lunch...when it could have allowed us to tour the above water ruins.</p> <p>Overall, this was an ok tour, but I feel that it is overpriced for what it actually delivers.</p>

One of the reasons we wanted to stay in...
<p>One of the reasons we wanted to stay in Naples was to see the archaeological sites visited on this tour. We were given free time to see the amphitheatre at Pozzuoli, which was fascinating as you can walk underground to view where the animals and gladiators were. We also visited the Temple of Serapis, which isn't open, as it floods, but you can view from above. We then went on to the ruins at Cumae where again we had free time to explore ourselves. The lunch at a seafood restaurant in Baia was excellent and the trip on the glass bottom boat to see the underwater ruins was amazing. Our guide was very informative about Naples and knowledgeable about the history of the area, and gave us the opportunity to stop for photographs.</p>

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour From Naples: the Underwater Ruins of Baia and Bacoli: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.
How much does Private Tour From Naples: the Underwater Ruins of Baia and Bacoli cost?
+
Prices start at $135 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 Private Tour From Naples: the Underwater Ruins of Baia and Bacoli take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours 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 Private Tour From Naples: the Underwater Ruins of Baia and Bacoli worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour From Naples: the Underwater Ruins of Baia and Bacoli?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour From Naples: the Underwater Ruins of Baia and Bacoli suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour From Naples: the Underwater Ruins of Baia and Bacoli?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour From Naples: the Underwater Ruins of Baia and Bacoli 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 Full Day Private Amalfi Coast Tour from Sorrento/Naples/Salerno, Caserta Royal Palace & Gardens Small Group Tour with Shuttle, 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.
