Teatro di San Carlo

We will see the facade and the majestic entrance of the Teatro San Carlo: oldest active opera theater in Europe!

Lungomare Caracciolo

The seaside is an option you can decide on tour if you really like walking. The seafront promenade is the classic Sunday stroll for the Neapolitans. We can admire the beautiful view of the bay dominated by Mt. Vesuvius from via Partenope, where the most exclusive hotels of the city are located.

Castel dell'Ovo

If selected on tour, it makes a good pair with Via Caracciolo and the seafront. Enjoy the views of the bay and the city from the seaside Castel dell'Ovo, the oldest standing fortification in Naples. Its name comes from a legend: a sorcerer placed a magical egg in the foundation of the castle. If the egg breaks, the building supposedly will be destroyed, and Naples will experience a series of disastrous events...

Spaccanapoli

Spaccanapoli is the most important historical street in the city. It crosses the heart of the historic center of Naples. Along Spaccanapoli, we will see all the main churches and historic buildings. It bustles with the activities of the students of the large University of Napes. We shall take a feel for its bustling life and if you wish we can stop at one of several pastry or pizza places for a quick break.

Via San Gregorio Armeno

San Gregorio is the pulsing core of the Nativity Making district in Old Naples. We will observe the unique creations of these craftsmen, your guide will introduce you to this old and important minor art. If you wish there will be some free time to explore on your own this area.

Duomo di Napoli

The Cathedral of Naples is a 14th-century French Gothic church which is the seat of the Naples Archidiocese. The Cathedral is also home to the Crypt and the Chapel of Naples Patron Saint, San Gennaro. Here takes place the Festival of San Gennaro, famous for the "blood liquefaction" ceremony that takes place three times a year!

Our guide was Raffaele and he was outstanding. He truly loves his City and is passionate about its history. He met us at our cruise ship on most likely the hottest day of the year. He was a real trooper and took us to the most interesting sights in the historic part of the City of Naples. Thank you for the great service.

We had a wonderful day with Giuseppe learning about the impressive and interesting history of Naples. It really helped us understand the differences between Naples and other places in Italy and Europe that we had visited. Giuseppe's in depth knowledge of the history, the art, and the culture was vast and varied, and most interesting. We had a lovely lunch and then we went to the archeology museum. The museum houses the most incredible collection of ancient art that I've ever seen. It was made so much better with Giuseppe's insights into the way that art was created and changed and why it exists then I ever knew. Even though it was father's day and his Saints day, and there was a football match, he stayed to make sure that we got the full experience of his city. We are so very grateful. The rest of our stay in Naples would not have been anything close to as enjoyable had we not had the wonderful orientation. Thank you.

I was a bit concerned when I hadn't been contacted prior to getting to Naples, but their chat app was very helpful to get the right info. Paola met us right outside the port area and took us all over the city. Since it was a private tour she asked us where we wanted to go but also suggested some of her favorite places. Those were amazing but in addition she took us to the catacombs which was where we wanted to go. She spent a significant amount of time with us and at the end brought us to her favorite pizza place for lunch! Had a great time and it was totally worth the expense.

Communications with Vincenzo at Leisure Italy were wonderfully speedy & efficient. We never expected to love Naples so much, but our guide, Ilaria, was an adorable, brilliant expert, brimming with insights & knowledge. She also spoke flawless English. Our time with her was one of the highlights of our 2 week tour of Italy. My 2 college-aged kids wanted to see the birthplace of their great-grandfather (who immigrated to the US), a small village near Pompeii, so Vincenzo arranged for a driver, Bruno, to take us there after a visit to Pompeii. Bruno was very prompt, engaging & enthusiastic & spoke English very well. We loved this region of Italy and would like to return to spend more time there. For us, the food in Naples was the best in all of Italy. We stayed in a hotel in Naples, rather than in Sorrento as many guidebooks suggested, and we felt very safe and happy.

<p>Guiseppe was our guide and it was an incredible way to learn so much about the history of Naples. We were there in order to see Herculaneum and Pompeii, so I thought we'd include the walk as a way to learn our way around the city. I didn't expect it to be so interesting and enriching. We had no idea about the incredible history and archictecture of Naples - totally recommend!!</p>

La nostra guida il signor Corrado è stato molto molto bravo, preparato e disponibile . Per la nostra esperienza consiglieremo viator

<p>Le guide était compétent et agréable. Il nous a fait visiter le Centre monumental et ce fut intéressant. Le titre de cette excursion est inapproprié au lieu de balade à Naples bien préciser balade dans le centre monumental de Naples sinon les touristes risquent de rester sur leur faim. Comme nous avions prévus de faire une visite libre plus large de la ville nous avions louer un véhicule donc cela était sans conséquence. Pour des touristes qui souhaiteraient une visite guidée plus complète choisir parmi celles proposer par VIATOR en voiture ou scooter.</p>
