As you walk through Old Naples, your guide will tailor the experience to your interests. You will step inside beautiful—and sometimes hidden—churches (Naples has more churches than you might expect, even rivaling Rome!) and admire remarkable examples of Gothic and Baroque architecture, often standing side by side with the homes of everyday locals.
Your private excursion will take you through the famous Spaccanapoli, the narrow street that cuts straight through the historic center. Here you’ll encounter the true soul of the city: lively streets, local students, artisan workshops, and some of Naples’ best pizzerias and pastry shops.
A stop in the San Gregorio Armeno area is a must, famous for its extraordinary handcrafted Nativity scene figures—a tradition that comes alive especially during the Christmas season.
If you wish, you can also visit the Naples Cathedral, renowned for its lavish Baroque decoration. Inside, you’ll find the Chapel of San Gennaro, dedicated to the city’s patron saint, famous worldwide for the miraculous liquefaction of his blood, which occurs twice a year.
Those interested in visiting the Sansevero Chapel (home to the famous Veiled Christ) should let us know in advance so we can secure a reservation. The chapel is closed on Tuesdays.
At the end of the tour, you may choose to stay in town on your own for a traditional Neapolitan pizza lunch or return to the starting point with your guide.
Tour Reviews
If we could give Gianluca ten stars we would. We met Luca right on time. He was a walking encyclopedia of all things Naples. He was able to give us an expansive historical and societal background of the area as we walked through the narrow alleyways and beautiful churches and sites. As a local he was able to point out many more sites than a typical tour guide. As we strolled down a market street we ran into his mother, father and dog who greeted us like family. Luca was able to give us real insight into the lives of Neapolitans. He left us with perfect restaurant suggestions as we finished up our tour. Kudos to Luca for giving us the perfect introduction to Naples.
Giuseppe is an extraordinary guide! Giuseppe’s communication from booking until meeting us for the tour was exceptional. He greeted us warmly at our Air BNB then led us through Naples incorporating all the points of interest along the way. The depth of his knowledge of Naples history, art and geography was very impressive, made Naples come alive. Giuseppe customized the day to our individual interests and helped us avoid the crowds. He took us to the Archaeological Museum of Naples, his knowledge helped us to appreciate the history of Naples and Pompeii. Beyond his knowledge…
