Spaccanapoli

Spaccanapoli is the straight and narrow main street that traverses the old, historic center of the city of Naples, Italy. The name is a popular usage and means, literally, "Naples splitter". The name is derived from the fact that it is very long and from above it seems to divide that part of the city.

It is named after the plebiscite taken on October 2, 1860 that brought Naples into the unified Kingdom of Italy under the House of Savoy. It is located very closely to the gulf of Naples, and bounded on the east by the Royal Palace and on the west by the church of San Francesco di Paola with colonnades extending to both sides.

To the southeast of the spire[clarification needed], one can see a block away the Fountain of Monteoliveto and the piazza of the church of Sant'Anna dei Lombardi. The square is a result of the expansion of the city to the west beginning in the early 16th century under the rule of Spanish viceroy Pedro Alvarez de Toledo.

This was a good tour, though not sure it's worth the elevated cost. Our driver picked us up on time and we had a smooth trip to Pompei (the SUV was a little small and back seat had very little leg room, which mad it uncomfortable for a long trip). Getting to Pompei there was confusion regarding entry tickets and the one couple driving with us ended up having to pay for their own tickets, even though that was included in the package (they were told they would be refunded). Tour guide was excellent, but the number of folks was over the promised max. Trip to Naples went smoothly as was the trip back to Rome. All in all, you are mostly paying for a semi-private driver to take you to Pompei and Naples. The only other thing included are the tickets/tour in Pompei. No lunch in Naples, walking tour guide, etc.

I think this company contracts out the jobs to available transport teams. Our guide didn’t know the particulars of the package we bought so I had to show the description. It had to do with lunch more so than anything else. Our first stop was Pompeii where we joined a guided tour with a different company. It lasted about 2-hours, plenty of walking up and down inclines and mostly on rocks. There’s very little shelter from the sun, so be prepared for the weather. The site is huge, once the guided tour is over visitors can stay as long as like to explore other areas, but our group had to meet back up with our initial guide to head to Naples. Once in Naples we had lunch by the water. It was a rainy day so we didn’t do much walking in Naples and I’m pretty sure we strayed a bit from the normal sight seeing there, which was fine since we saw from the van. We did go to a very old cafe/bakery and a gallery. It was a long day because of the drive but worth it to see the sights and have a taste of Napoli. A negative to this tour is that you cannot hear the guide very well if sitting to the rear of the minivan.

<p>This tour was truly a highlight of our trip to Rome! I booked this for my elderly mother and I, and our host Juliano, and driver Stephano did not disappoint! We were a small group of four, and they picked us up right at our hotel and our tour was in a Mercedes Van - nice! They asked often about the temperature level in the van, the music, always checking to be sure we were traveling in comfort. When we arrived at Pompeii, they directed us to rest rooms prior to our tour and paired us up with an extremely knowledgeable and delightfully humerous guide named Hector. After that, we visited the Medici Winery for a tour and delicious three course lunch and wine tasting. Then, it was off to Napoli and a walking tour of the city highlights with Julano. WHAT A DAY! I can honestly say that I cannot wait to return because of this tour and booking it was one of the best decisions we made! Do yourself a favor and book this tour - and ask for Juliano and Stepheno. Thanks for an unforgettable experience guys! :</p>

<p>Victoria, our tour guide, showed us a lot of sights in Naples! We joined the Pompeii tour with the local guide but weren't able to check out the other areas once tour ended. Lunch in Naples was sumptuous. We saw the major sights but not the Gesu church as described. Need more time to see</p>
