Walk with your private-local guide in a surprising discovery of Naples. Not only an astonishing journey through History, Art, and Architecture but also an intriguing close look at authentic Naples, its people, habits, food, and surviving superstitions and traditions. If you wish to immerse yourself in the local life, follow us!
The history of Naples is perfectly legible in its urban structure, which maintains the signs of a city built slowly over 25 centuries: this is the reason why the town is amongst the World Cultural Heritage Sites listed by UNESCO.
Once in the Old Naples, there are plenty of things to visit or to do according to your interests and feelings. You shall certainly enter some of its beautiful but sometimes hidden churches – more that you can imagine in Naples as well as in Rome!
You will find great examples of gothic and baroque architecture mixed up with the houses of ordinary people.
Your private Naples Excursion will bring you to the area so-called ‘Spaccanapoli’. You will discover the real town: its people, the students, the food (the best pizzerias and pastry shops are there), the craftsmanship. Not to miss is the area of San Gregorio where you have an incredible display of items produced to decorate the Nativity during Christmas Time.
If you like, you can also reach the Cathedral to marvel at the richness of its baroque decoration. In the Cathedral, you can visit San Gennaro Chapel, worldwide known not only for art but also because there the Patron Saint of the City liquefies its blood twice a year!!
If you would like to visit the Sansevero Chapel please let us know ahead of time to obtain a reservation (closed on Tuesdays).
At the end of the tour, you can decide to stay on own in town for a traditional pizza lunch or you can go back to the starting point.
Tour Reviews
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…
We did two trips. The first was walking tour of Naples with Giuseppe and then the next day we did a tour of Pompeii with Fabrizio. Both were outstanding. They are excellent company and have real depth of content. We definitely got a great deal more out of the time than we would have been able to unaided. They both have a great sense of humour and were determined that we would enjoy ourselves as well as seeing all the relevant sights. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
