A hollow city on a Greek grid, quarried from the tufa beneath its own streets. One arrow-straight ancient cut, a labyrinth forty metres down, and a feared quarter rewriting itself from its catacombs up.

What each tour covers

• Historic Center: Spaccanapoli and the Greek City: A walk through the Historic Center of Naples along the grid its Greek founders laid out: Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, Santa Chiara, Spaccanapoli, the crib makers of San Gregorio Armeno, the ancient forum, the Duomo, the Roman theatre's arches and the Greek wall in Piazza Bellini.
• Napoli Sotterranea: The City Below: Naples is a hollow city, and this downhill walk reads the streets as the lid on an inverted city carved out of the tuff below, following the void from the ancient forum toward the sea.
• The Quarter They Feared: Naples once told outsiders to stay out of the Rione Sanita. This walk reads the quarter the city wrote off, now rewriting itself from below, through its catacombs, baroque staircases, and a bridge that cut it loose.
