What you’ll do

Get a three-hour crash course in Naples, from navigating the old streets to learning the distinct character of each district (and squeezing in some sightseeing along the way!). Stroll under the arch of Alba Gate towards the old city of Naples, where you’ll see one of the city’s most famous Neapolitan pizzerias, Sorbillo, and stately buildings belonging to the 800-year-old University of Naples Federico II, one of the oldest in the world. Get a perfect snapshot of Neapolitan life on Via Toledo, a hive of Italian boutiques and popular street food, and enter Toledo Metro, one of Europe’s most famous (and beautiful) metro stations. Not feeling like an honorary local yet? After a photo opportunity with the backdrop of Mount Vesuvius and the island of Capri, you certainly will!

Our guide Nunzia was very good. We were in communication prior to our visit in order to gauge our interests. We met as arranged at the train station and after a short ride on the Metro we toured the ancient inner circle of the City. Nunzia was very informative and took us to places we would have never found on our own. We didn’t try to do too much and left plenty for another day. We lunched a lovely pizza restaurant and ended up in the hill overlooking the City. We had a great and were so lucky to have Nunzia as a guide.

Out guide, Daniela, provided us with the itinerary which included l places with interesting history. She was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Walking the streets alone without knowing the background of so many landmarks would be a lot less meaningful. Thank you, Daniela!
