Nora was such a great tour guide! We never would have explored Naples the way we did if we hadn’t gone on this tour. It was great to see all the different areas and hear all about the history! Loved!

We were on a cruise to time was tight, this tour's time and duration suited our itinerary, oh and also the price was attractive. Our guide Pasquale was very knowledgeable as you'd expect and brought the city to life, so a big shout-out to Pasquale. All said I'd recommend without hesitation.

I originally was booked to be in a English speaking group, but did not see the guide at the Funicular, so I went ahead without them. Then I received a call from Agostina, and she was so kind to set me up with Rocío and a Spanish speaking group a couple hours later. There were only a few of us, so Rocío took the time to also speak to me in my mother tongue. She was very nice and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the tour, my only small complaint was I thought $28 was too expensive. The ticket included for the funicular is only 1,30€.

It was very interesting, Stefano showed us many different aspects of Neapel and we really enjoyed the trip. Otherwise we wouldn't have seen and leaned so much, thanks for the experience!

We took this tour as the very begining of our visit in Naples. it was me (33 years old) and both of my parents (almost 70 years old). Ariana was our tour guide, and did very proffesional job: She was fun, she and the other guide were very carefully and sensitive with my parents and the shape of walking, and they put ALOT of content when we walked through those street. We could have walked without a tour, enjoy the views, and miss the whole point: Ariana told us ALOT of meaningful stories, and point on different things we would never noticed. not just that we learned ALOT of new things along the tour, we also got to hear many facts about he neighbourhood, about Naples and about the surroundings of the whole area. I think it's a great Idea to get to know Naples for the first time from this point of view: watching it all from the hill, learning about where you can visit and what you can see, notice the differenes of the different area of the city, and then get deeper with other tours :) Thank you Ariana and GuruWalk staff🙏🏼

We had a wonderful tour today with Rafaela. Due to the rain yesterday there was a mixup with our tour and we were not supposed to arrive until tomorrow. She did a wonderful job, giving the tour in English and French to accommodate us. The views were spectacular and she provided a lot of interesting information.
