Very disappointed as it was cancelled on us by email at 3am. Starting that there was a personal situation with guide. I can be sympathetic to that, however, why not get someone else to do the tour????

By far the worst walking tour I have been on. Guide had no enthusiasm, no energy and shared no knowledge or stories. She often walked 50m ahead of us.

I chose this tour to visit the historical center of Naples and it was a wonderful experience! The historic center is very crowed with tourists and there are many restaurants and pizzerias where you can rest and eat an excellent pizza! The tours lasts two hours and it is a walk through th churches and the main streets of historic center! The church of StPatricia is extraordinary! My tip:wear gym shoes!

I was at the designated meeting point early, however, my tour guide wasn't there. After waiting 10 minutes AFTER the departure time, I decided to move to the cappella sansevero to try and meet up thinking I had missed the group. 2 blocks away from the departure point, the guide calls me to say he was late and looking for me. I walked back, chewed some ass, and began a solo tour. I was the only one on the tour. Despite the tardiness of the guide, it was a very informative tour. My guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. He let me stop for pictures anywhere I wanted and provided information on the particular place I stopped. He gave me all the time I needed/wanted. Even after my initial anger, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Cappella SanSevero is a place you don't want to miss when you're in Naples. Beautiful story, magnificent statues, and amazing fresco ceiling.

I love doing a walking tours to get the lay of the land, understand the history, customs and culture of the city I’m visiting. My tour guide Giainluca was awesome. Spoke clear and fluent English, and is an archeologist. As we went to the historic sites, monuments and churches he gave great information of the history, architectural style, artistic influence, as well as the cultural significance to the city. Great tour to get grounded on some of the 3800 year history of the city. Tour goes through the old city up to the new castle. Would recommend.
