FamilyVerified bookingJun 20265/5The Catacombs was a cool retreat from the heat above, and the guide was very knowledgeable. I was astounded to learn of the three different ways to be buried, and it was a nice surprise to be able to visit for free the other catacombs in Naples at a later time!NNatasa M
