San Genaro is the more beautiful of the two and more impressive. The guide (in English) was very interesting and clear. San gaudioso (included in the same ticket) was less spectacular and the guide much less comprehensible. Nevertheless, this is a must-see on any trip to Naples. Unfortunately, no photos allowed!

We were through the line quickly at Peastum - it was a beautiful! Pompeii was another story as we were not aware of the 1st Sunday of each month being a Museum holiday where everyone egts in free. We waited in line for 2 hours because the "voucher" did not count as a printed ticket aloowing us immediate acccess, and then we were smooshed in through the gates by hoards of people trying to get in before it closed.

Transport passes don't work at any of the barriers. Staff at both train stations and metro are well aware of this and are kind enough to let you pass through. Lady at the information desk said that they rarely work so this is a known issue. Also we were of the impression that we could use the pass to get a discounted entry to a museum after our two free visits and this was not the case. All in all we felt that we didn't save money by buying the card and had lots of issues setting it up.

San GenaroLP - Tabernacle

Tabernacle

Hidden behind the frontal altar are silver doors and a red drape that hides the strongbox containing the vials of St. Januarius blood. So precious is this relic, that two keys are required to open it. One is held with the Deputation and the other with the Archbishop of Naples.

We were through the line quickly at Peastum - it was a beautiful! Pompeii was another story as we were not aware of the 1st Sunday of each month being a Museum holiday where everyone egts in free. We waited in line for 2 hours because the "voucher" did not count as a printed ticket aloowing us immediate acccess, and then we were smooshed in through the gates by hoards of people trying to get in before it closed.

Easy to use and good value for site entry and getting around. Got on train from Sorrento to Herculaneum not knowing it only stopped a few times a day. Went through to Naples and easily caught the train to Herculaneum without extra cost or trouble. 😂

easy access to transport and museums. but I'd like to take issue with 2 things: the poor explanations on how to activate the card and the need to reactivate it each time it's used.

The entrances were easy. As for public transport, we opted only for the metro, but the clerk always had to let us in. But I highly recommend it

Our guide was very interesting and friendly, answering all our questions. Nevertheless, we thought the tour would be a little longer and that we'd see more of the underground passages. You ask for photos, but it's forbidden to take them in the catacombs, which is a shame!

San Genaro is the more beautiful of the two and more impressive. The guide (in English) was very interesting and clear. San gaudioso (included in the same ticket) was less spectacular and the guide much less comprehensible. Nevertheless, this is a must-see on any trip to Naples. Unfortunately, no photos allowed!
