Must-see Naples in a day

Uncover Naples' hidden gems and top attractions in a day with a private tour, custom-tailored by a local insider to fit your interests.

How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

It’s no secret that a city as historic as Naples would have too many attractions to count – but from visiting the Castel dell’Ovo, the oldest castle in Naples (and exploring the quaint sailor’s village and tiny port just below), to being blown away by the unexpected beauty of one of Europe’s most famous metro stations, you’ll experience 15 of the city’s top attractions in just eight hours. You’ll see the popular market on Pignasecca square, ancient churches, and the 800-year-old Federico II University – but more than that, your host will lead you to several sights you didn’t even know existed, like a street dedicated to artisans selling intricate, handmade models of Nativity characters and celebrities, and an impressive street mural by local street artist Jorit.

Chiara, Nov 2022

Alessia guided us through Napoli and showed us all the sights and interesting parts of the city. She listened to our requests and planned a tailor made tour that was perfect for us, from the Cloisters of Santa Chiara to a much needed Spritz with a local favorite, the frittatina. What we enjoyed the most was her warmth and attitude, which stayed positive regardless of the pouring rain: she had in mind alternative solutions so we would have fun in Napoli without getting drenched. In three words: a great guide!

Our experience with Renato in Naples was amazing. He was a great guide and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Naples and got to try some classic food from Naples. We would enjoy a day with Renato again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend this tour, ask for Renato!

Renato was a pleasure. He touched on history, culture, and architecture. We asked for an overview and essence of Naples and he did just that. Thank you Renato.

Absolutely recommended. The half-day private tour of Naples with Nunzia was more like discovering the city with a friend than a sightseeing tour. He took us to many different places telling us many interesting anecdotes and curiosities about Naples and its history. We also had the opportunity to taste some Neapolitan street food specialties. Finally Nunzia also gave us lots of suggestions and advice on what to do and what to see, thank you very much!

Nunzia was great. She was in contact with us before we got there to help us plan the trip. We spent time in the ancient center, the upper city, and the coast. Nunzia was really knowledgeable about the history of Naples and local culture. Her English was excellent and she was very personable. I would recommend this for anyone visiting Naples for the first time
