Highlights
  • Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli - Arrive at Naples National Archeological Museum, that houses one of the world’s finest collections of Greek-Roman artefacts. Charles III of Spain founded the museum in the mid-18th century. The building housing the museum at that time had been erected as a horses barracks and at one point was the seat of the University of Naples (1616 to 1777). It hosts extensive collections of Greek and Roman antiquities.

See the museum’s best-known collections as well as new displays like the history of coins and the celebrated Secret Cabinet, the repository of obscene artefacts illustrating the erotic side ancient Romans’ life.

See antiques from Herculaneum, Pompeii, Naples, and Santa Maria Capua Vetere on the ground floor.

Next, view the Farnese Collection, with wonderful Toro Farnese and Ercole Farnese.

Observe mosaics from Pompeii.

At the final floor, view the Meridian Hall with beautiful Pompeian frescoes and objects of everyday lifestyle in ancient Rome.

Best tour of my trip - Olivio was a knowledgeable and friendly guide and answered all my questions with animation and patience. I can’t begin to say how memorable this tour was.

Highly recommended. We will return next year for another tour with Raffaelle. - We spent 2 hours with Raffaele this morning in the Archeological Museum of Naples and at our request focusing mainly on the Vesuvian artefacts from Pompei and Herculaneum. He has a very good command of the English language and a great depth of knowledge. He communicates it in a very clear and interesting way. His enthusiasm for his subject is infectious and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him in the museum. He is a really nice guy and will be back for another tour next year as he has shown us how much more there is to see (with a guide) and understanding the back story which is not obvious.

Wonderful way of bringing history to life! - It was fascinating to hear and see some of the history of Pompeii and Herculaneum brought to life by Teresa, our guide. She made the time fly by with her wonderful knowledge and story-telling. And we very much appreciated her tips for lunch spots afterwards, along with some special things to find in Napoli.
