Audio guide or live guide at the Sansevero Chapel
The audioguide is not collected at the ticket office but inside the museum, after entry: it has a separate rental cost, and features separate tracks for adults and children, making it convenient for the little ones. It covers the Chapel in about 25 minutes, at the same pace for everyone.
A live guide includes a person who speaks and answers questions, not just a recording: the most multilingual guided tours in this sense are those like the Sansevero Chapel with a local guide, available in five languages. The comparison of all guided tours is in which is the best tour, and the cost structure, without figures, is in how much the tour costs.
Those travelling alone, without the need to follow a group, often find the audioguide more convenient for this very reason: you can pause it, go back to a point, or spend longer in front of a statue without holding anyone else up.
Those travelling in a group with people who speak different languages, on the other hand, find a live guide who speaks a single shared language more practical than renting multiple audioguides for the same family.
