Italy · GUIDED TOURS IN NAPLES
Every trip has one free morning too few. These 12 guided tours in Naples earn the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes rather than an evening.
Enter beside San Paolo Maggiore and follow an English or Italian guide below Naples. You will see the Greek-Roman Aqueduct, Roman Theater, and Summa Cavea, with an optional narrow passage and pizza meal. Expect 121 steps, cool tunnels, and about 1.5 to 2 hours underground.
“The guide was very well organized and very well informed about the history.Thanks again”
Meet your English, Spanish, or Italian-speaking guide near Toledo Street and Plebiscito Square, then descend into Naples through old tunnels and the Neapolitan Aqueduct. Guides such as Alex, Eduardo, Alessandro, and Grazia bring the route alive with history, folklore, humor, and stories of its wartime use. Expect stairs, darkness, and some very tight passages.
“We started the tour at exactly 2:05 PM. It was incredibly interesting, and I found it exciting to walk through the narrow tunnels. My husband, who is claustrophobic, was accommodated well since there are larger tunnels that can be used as bypasses. Our guide, Giulia, was extraordinary. I would rate her a 10 out of 10!”
Follow an English-speaking guide from Piazza Bellini through Naples’ historic center, stopping for pizza a portafoglio, pizza fritta, pasta frittata, arancini, taralli, babà, sfogliatelle, mozzarella, limoncello, and gelato. Guides such as Daniela, Carmen, Alberto, and Sara bring local stories and plenty of energy.
“Daniella was the best tour guide ever. The food was everywhere great. Thank you Judy and Krisztián from Hungary”
Walk beneath Naples with guides such as David, Lucia, Sabrina, or Martina, depending on the departure. You will see a 19th-century escape route, wartime shelters, old cars and motorcycles, fascist-era statues, and earlier caves. Choose the Via delle Memorie option for a longer underground route with 115 entrance steps.
“Our guide was friendly, lively and very informative. There were only 6 people in our group so it was very relaxed and plenty of opportunity to ask questions. It would be nice to have a little more time in the Bourbon tunnel part of the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour with the extension Via di Memoire over the subterranean tour in the old town as the groups are much smaller and the tunnels more spacious and interesting to see.”
Start near Piazza Bellini and follow a local guide through Naples’ historic center for mozzarella, fried pizza, ragù, baccalà, gelato, sfogliatella, babà, limoncello, and a spritz. Guides such as Mario, Sarah, and Daniella mix food with stories about Spaccanapoli, Greek and Roman streets, and local customs. Expect plenty of walking, standing, and a lively group of up to 15.
“My family and I were very much looking forward to our street food tour and reached out to the activity organizer the day before the event, to inquire about parking as we know that it’s EXTREMELY crowded in these big cities. Didn’t hear anything back until less than two hours before the start of the event. At that time we had already driven around over an hour looking for parking and trying to avoid an accident in the chaos of the city…we were already driving back to our hotel when we received a response from them. Needless to say, we didn’t get to partake in the activity and it was…”
