How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

In Naples, a city known for its ancient history, spectacular cuisine and, of course, the iconic Mount Vesuvius, your local host will lead you off the well-trodden tourist trail to the city’s secret network of staircases leading to parts of Naples your guidebook doesn’t even know about. From the hilltop district of Vomero, walk to the top of Petraio stairs – a tranquil staircase leading from Vomero to Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Pass between 19th-century houses overgrown with wild plants, stopping off at a terrace for a stunning view, and see a few of the city’s famous votive altars as you make your way down the stairs and head towards the Santa Maria in Portico, a late-baroque church just off the seaside promenade leading to Egg Castle – the oldest castle in Naples.

Tour privato di tre ore: Daniela ci ha contattato prima e in base al questionario online ci ha proposto un itinerario. Tre ore sono l’ideale per una visita guidata senza stancarsi. Daniela ci ha portato alla scoperta di Napoli e della sua storia. Molto apprezzata la visita a San Lorenzo Maggiore, una Napoli sotterranea fuori dagli itinerari classici. Three-hour private tour: Daniela contacted us before and based on the online questionnaire she proposed an itinerary. Three hours is ideal for a guided tour without getting tired. Daniela took us to discover Naples and its history. The visit to San Lorenzo Maggiore, an underground Naples outside the classic itineraries, was much appreciated.

My 2 hour tour of Roman Naples including the underground ruins with Serena was superb. She was very engaging and full of interesting facts and great company to be with. I will definitely take another tour with her next time I am in Naples and can wholeheartedly recommend her.

Fabulous walking tour. Enrico was an incredible guide. We saw both the famous spots and hidden gems courtesy of Enrico’s expertise. Also, for those of you who are foodies, Enrico is a Sommelier at George - the only Michelin star restaurant. In Napoli. So he knows his food and wine. We ate and drank where Enrico recommended and were never disappointed. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
