A beautiful and unforgettable experience. The Veiled Christ is absolutely breathtaking, and the Chapel of Sansevero is well worth a visit when you're in Naples.
Highly knowledgeable and expressive tour guide who answered questions thoroughly. She had an infectious enthusiasm for the sculptures.
You cannot take any photos or videos inside. It’s a great tour, very informative and Francesca was superior
Engaging, the guide was very skilled and managed to convey the emotions of the place visited. Available and knowledgeable.
Very interesting experience despite the exceptional temperature of the day. Truly skilled, clear, and concise guide for effective communication.
A very good tour. Francesca was very informative and delightful. The chapel and artwork were amazing but I was disappointed by their total ban on photography. This seems extreme and petty but that certainly isn’t Francesca’s fault. That said, as an avid photographer who loves to capture my trips this was a pretty big disappointment.
What a phenomenal experience….loved the San Savero tour …the guide was well informed, helpful and had excellent English. She competently and patiently answered our many questions, with interest. Amazing attraction that was fascinating. The body of Christ sculpture is incredible and a true treasure. Highly recommended!
It is worth going to see mainly for the work of sculpture!
Wonderful experience but needs a guide to explain the hidden meaning and messages
very special ,a must see experience
