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.

What travelers think of our Naples experiences

Beverly Aug 2025

We loved being guided through the various neighborhoods, some of which we probably would not have ventured to on our own.

My parents and I did a 3 hour tour with Daniela. It was fantastic. She showed us a ton of cool stuff and gave us a completely new appreciation for Naples. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and answered a ton of our questions to include specific dates, locations and explaining what we were seeing. Daniela's English was excellent, she was exactly on time, and she was flexible showing us what we wanted to see. I highly recommend doing a tour with her.

This personal tour was an excellent way to explore the Napoli according to a custom tailored itinerary. I learned so much in 4 hours from a great tour guide and a host, Onofrio. He was knowledgeable, patient, and checked for the pace of the tour repeatedly. I enjoyed every minute and wish I had more time. Hopefully, another trip.

I don't usually write reviews, but I had a really great experience with this one. Onofrio, my guide, organized a really well structured and thorough tour of Naples. He knew everything about the city---and could go into as much or as little detail as requested. I am very happy I scheduled this on my first full day in Naples. I now walk freely with knowledge of where I am going and I know a bit of history in each place. Highly recommended!

We had a very nice experience with a true Neapolitan person. Donatella went on and beyond on our tour. There were some big heat waves in Naples they day but that didn't stop her from guiding the tour and showing us the city. We learnt a lot during our stay in Naples, thank you once again Dona.
