Additional Information

We’re set to embark on a 2-hour exploration of Naples, embracing all its diverse sides. We’ll catch the funicular to reach the elevated Vomero hill, a neighborhood that stands out from the rest of the city with its grand, regal buildings. Next, we descend this hill, entering a tranquil district away from the city’s hustle, all the while taking in the breathtaking view of the Naples Gulf. Expect to see Capri, the Sorrento peninsula, the city’s seafront, and more. Following this, we’ll descend a set of stone stairs, hidden away even from local Neapolitans. It’s like stepping into a different reality. Reaching the midway point along the stairs, pause to soak in the vista of Vesuvius’ historic center, various churches, and many other landmarks. Finally, we descend into Naples’ ancient area, viewing the stark contrasts between the affluent and impoverished quarters, observing the stark differences between people and the atmospheres of the assorted locales we’ll traverse. This tour offers you an encompassing experience of the city, showcasing it from all angles.

The street food tour was substituted due to the original guide being ill and was excellent. - Ivan lead us on a fantastic street food tour that takes in 5 stops at different shops in the market. All were excellent and the food must be tasted to be appreciated as the authentic food of Naples.
