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

In Naples, a city known for its ancient history, spectacular cuisine and, of course, the iconic Mount Vesuvius, your local host will lead you off the well-trodden tourist trail to the city’s secret network of staircases leading to parts of Naples your guidebook doesn’t even know about. From the hilltop district of Vomero, walk to the top of Petraio stairs – a tranquil staircase leading from Vomero to Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Pass between 19th-century houses overgrown with wild plants, stopping off at a terrace for a stunning view, and see a few of the city’s famous votive altars as you make your way down the stairs and head towards the Santa Maria in Portico, a late-baroque church just off the seaside promenade leading to Egg Castle – the oldest castle in Naples.

Great time. She knew people. Shared more local things and really made sure we had a good time. Took a group pic. Wish we had done in Rome with the other guides.

We booked this tour as a filler after our Herculaneum Small Group Tour and Ticket With an Archaeologist (Also a great tour) Roberto was able to share his pride in the city and provided great background. Loved the Galleria Umberto! and the New Jesus Church.
