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.

From rich Naples to "real" Naples - Pleasant and relaxing walk, a beautiful descent from the plowshare with panoramic views of Naples to the Spanish quarters with scenes of "real" life. Our Guide Serena was very kind and exhaustive, we enjoyed it.

Absolutely astonishing - The tour started at Toledo just ahead of the cable car, where we were met by a really nice and sweet young woman. Through the whole tour she explained what we were passing by, and showed us a lot of different views, while walking down the streets through upper level society, the Spanish society and the whole way down to downtown. In the event was stated “not for people with bad condition). This is not a problem, most of the tour was downhill.

The real Naples - Our guide Manuela started off in a great mood and led us through the various districts of the city with Italian joie de vivre. The meeting point was easy to find and a nice group of 9 people came together on time. Lots of background information and away from the tourist hot spots you get to know the country and its people much better. It was enriching and we were completely satisfied. We can highly recommend it. Thank you Manuela for this indispensable tour of the streets of Naples. It was very fun!!!
