What languages are the Catacombs of San Gennaro tours in?

The standard tours run in English and Italian. When you book, you choose a departure in your language, and the whole one-hour visit is led in it. Other languages such as French and Spanish appear at busier times and on some private tours, but English and Italian are the two you can rely on year-round.

How language slots work

Tours leave at fixed times, and each departure is run in a single language. The English and Italian slots are the most frequent; your confirmed time and language are shown on your booking. If you need a specific language, book ahead rather than turning up, because a given slot can sell out.

If your language isn’t listed

French and Spanish departures show up in high season, and a private tour can often be arranged in other languages on request. If you only speak a little English, don’t worry — the guides are used to mixed groups and the visuals carry much of the story.

Insider tip

Morning English slots tend to be the calmest — good if you want to hear the guide clearly and take photos without the crowd.
