Highlights
  • Naples - Let me introduce you to the historical and also modern-day stories of this enchanting my city, Naples. Let’s go for a walk past the main highlights together and I’d be more than happy to show you some local hidden spots as well.
    The itinerary is flexible and up to you.
    I will guide you through the most remarkable historical spots of the city, but with particular focus on UNDERGROUND LOCATIONS.
    A must is the visit of the Underground City “Neapolis Sotterrata” where through the entrance of a Medieval Cloister we will reach the greek and the roman life of Neapolis. . . all of this at 12 mt underneath the chaos of the city!
    Once upstairs again, after a cool neapolitan coffe or a sfogliatella (typical dolce!) we are ready to visit and to understand the cult of the Deads in the underground church of Santa Maria delle Anime del Purgatorio ad Arco in the heart of Napoli, in via dei Tribunali. We will finish visiting the underground of the Duomo of Napoli

Allow me to lead you through the historic and contemporary tales of the captivating city of Naples. Join me as we stroll around the city’s main attractions, and I’ll be delighted to reveal some lesser-known local gems. The journey will be adaptable based on your preferences.
I will navigate you around the city’s most significant historical sites, with an emphasis on SUBTERRANEAN SPACES.

To be seen - Napoli sotterata was recommended to us by a local lady. I must say that the visit was very interesting. Danilo, our young guide, was very knowledgeable and with his kindness he attracted the attention of the whole group, leaving us some of his knowledge.

Must do in Napoli - Ricardo was an excellent guide, an archeologist with patience to explain such interesting facts and explain the history in an engaging way. A must if you want to understand the history of the Napoli people.
