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.

Trip with friends - Our guide, Manuela, was amazing! Very well informed, friendly and open. We had a great time and learned a lot of stuff about Naples. The trip was pretty easy to do, but you should wear comfy shoes and bring an umbrella in case it rains or it's very sunny.

Stunning views with wonderful introduction to Napoli 💚🤍🩷 - Fulvia was a wonderful hostess and gave us a great introduction on our arrival in Naples. She made it very easy to connect with her and was so congenial. She took us to the affluent “high life” in Vomero and told us a bit about the art nuevo “liberty” architecture and how that region that developed. Then we descended to the less affluent Spanish Quarter with wonderful vistas enroute and interesting tidbits about the geography and history of the area. Such an engaging person, Fulvia is perfect to do this sort of work. We would very highly recommend this tour as a perfect introduction to an underrated interesting cultural destination.

A creative tour through the city - Fulvia showed us an amazing contrast between the different parts of the city. You get to see the real life of the napolitanean and not just the turistic part of the city. She knew a lot of interesting stories and also explained the arquitectonical aspects of each neighborhood. At the end you get different food recommendations from a native which is very valuable. 100% recommended.
