Amazing, memorable day! - This was one of the best days I've had in Napoli. Roberta made my experience that much more enjoyable. Her knowledge and experience as a tour guide was evident. Firstly, it was a wet, windy, cold day and I was the only person that had booked, so I had a private, personal tour!! Roberta took me to all the sites mentioned but it was her background knowledge and inside information that she shared, that I really appreciated. I was blown away by the Veil of Christ statue. Having missed out on tickets, to be able to see this beautiful statue was the highlight of the tour. But of course, there is so much that makes Napolib so special, and you'll not regret doing this tour.

A perfect stroll in Naples - Rebecca was fantastic and had some much information about life in Naples. She was very helpful to point out things we would normally have missed and thus allowed us to freedom to see, taste and shop. She is a gem!

Unexpected pearls - The tour was very interesting and particular, our guide Roberta explained the history of the historic center of Naples with a focus on the origin of local legends and traditions. The final stop in Santa Luciella to booksellers a real rare pearl, small but highly recommended.

Great insights into the soul of Naples. - Doing this tour right on the first day in Naples was ideal for us. Mary not only conveyed the most important historical events and the history of the city, but also gave us insights into the Neapolitan soul and attitude to life. You can understand and see this fascinating city in a completely different way afterwards - I promise. Especially touching for us was the young tradition of prayer for the lost souls, but I don't want to give too much away.
