Naples Sansevero Chapel & Veiled Christ Guided Tour
Description
Start by meeting your guide at Piazza San Domenico Maggiore. From there, you’ll head over to Sansevero Chapel and be introduced to the elegant and dramatic Rococo art. Get up close to the Veiled Christ and Veiled Truth – the masterfully carved statues which create the illusion of a cloth draped over a figure. See the Anatomical Machines and explore the nearly 500-year old chapel, all while listening to insightful stories from your tour guide. Afterwards, enhance your city sightseeing with an audio tour of Naples. Explore major landmarks, including Naples Cathedral and Castel dell'Ovo. Optionally, select the Naples city guided tour option and enjoy seeing the historic heart of the city with your guide. Pass by iconic sights including Sorbillo and Gino pizzerias, the Napoli catacombs and more.

The guide was very informative and helpful. Value for money
The organization was efficient, communication with clients was timely and clear, and the guide was very skilled and helpful.
It was a truly exciting experience and much more engaging than I expected. Admiring the Veiled Christ in person leaves one speechless: the beauty of the work and the incredible mastery with which it was created evoke deep emotion. The visit was not limited to the Veiled Christ, but also allowed us to discover other extraordinary works present in the Sansevero Chapel Museum, delving into their history, significance, and techniques of realization. A special thanks to our guide, who, with passion and expertise, dedicated more time to us than expected, making every explanation interesting and engaging. I carry with me the memory of an experience rich in emotions, art, and culture, which I highly recommend to anyone visiting Naples.

The tour was outstanding. There is no way you could appreciate the chapel without a guide to explain the art and sculptures, particularly the vieled Christ.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you had an outstanding experience and that the guided tour helped you better appreciate the site and its artworks. Thank you again for choosing Vox City International. Kind regards, Vox City International
We had a terrible experience. We received all the instructions about the meeting point (exact address) and time (10am for a tour start at 10:15). We were at the exact address at 9:55 and when the guide was still not there at 10:15, I contacted the Vox Customer care who told me the guide would come anytime. 15min later when still no one was there Customer Care told me it's because the previous tour is delayed. Eventually the guide show up at 11:15 for the next tour pretending to have been at exact same place where we have been all the time, which couldn't be true and confirming that customer care had no clue of what was going on.We eventually went to the chapel with the tour of 11:15 which was itself delayed by 30min which meant that it started at 11:45. I would definitely not recommand to book this tour with Viator.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear about the significant delays and the confusion regarding the meeting point and schedule. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been, especially after arriving on time and receiving inconsistent updates. We would like to clarify that our customer support team relies on real-time information provided by our local operations team, and in this case it is clear that there was a breakdown in communication and timing on the day of your tour. This is not the level of coordination we aim to provide. We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused and the impact this had on your experience. Your feedback is extremely important and will be reviewed internally with our local team to help prevent situations like this in the future. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Sincerely, VoxCity
Great organisation. Very nice ond organized welcome at meeting point. Our guide Patrizia has been just wonderful She was prepared and passionated her english was clear easy to follow all her explainations
Very comprehensive. The guide was very kind and spoke English slowly so that those of us who spoke other languages could understand. Very good visit.
This is a must see in Naples. The place is absolutely amazing. The veiled Christ is moving and solemn at the same time. Loved this excursion.
Good afternoon, Thank you so much for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience in Naples and found the Veiled Christ as moving and extraordinary as we do. It truly is a unique masterpiece and one of the city’s must-see treasures. We hope to welcome you again on another experience in the future! Many thanks, VoxCity
The museum was great. The guide however, not so. We were supposed to meet at 9:00 for a 9:15 tour. They did not show up until 10:30.
Very nice visit of the city of Naples and the Sanmartino chapel. Our guide was very nice and answered all our questions. I recommend
