    We got the ferry from Sorrento and a taxi to the catacombs, got dropped off at the wrong San Gennaro so had to find another taxi with minutes to spare ! TUI could make it very clear on the booking that there are two San Gennaro quite a way apart and also some directions from either the port or metro as you don’t provide the tour from Sorrento Tour was fantastic , staff passionate about the catacombs, saint and neighbourhood. Found our way back to the, port via google maps. Would recommend thi

    Heck of a place to try to walk up to from the bottom of the hill with only 30 minutes to make the booking time! Fascinating place, the guide was very good and even allowed us to wander off by ourselves at one point to explore. Very good value experience.
