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 mostWhat 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.

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.

Our guide (Daniela) was extremely knowledgeable about the sights and historical places of Naples. She was accommodating to our interests- best place for gelato and pastries the shopping area, the Spanish quarter. It was an extremely hot day but we weren’t rushed, it was our tour and Dan was so accommodating. On reflection it was great value for money as we saw lots and learnt lots about the fantastic Naples, the culture and history. Truly fascinating city.

Serena was our guide and she made the tour fantastic from beginning to end. She tailored it to our needs and was so knowledgeable. We sample the local food, heard about local culture and history. Serena’s passion for Napoli was infectious. We would highly recommend, even to teeenagers..our 14 and 16 year old loved it.
