What to expect

Naples is a unique mixture of colors and perfumes, be enchanted by the warmth of its people and the sounds of its daily life! Begin your journey at Piazza del Gesù, one of the city's most famous squares, a stone's throw from the historic center. Your first destination is the serene Chiostro di Santa Chiara (if option selected), where you'll be captivated by its historic majolica tiles, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the city's hustle.

Continue with a leisurely walk through Spaccanapoli, the long and narrow street that cuts the old city into two perfect halves. Marvel at the San Domenico Maggiore square and witness the harmonious blend of architectural styles; then, make your way to the Chapel Sansevero, home to Giuseppe Sanmartino's stunning Cristo Velato sculpture.

Pause to see the famous statue of the God of the Nile River, and take a moment to enjoy a typical Neapolitan coffee at one of the city center's renowned bars. Explore Piazza St. Gaetano, the city's oldest square, standing on grounds that once hosted the Greek Agora and later, the Roman forum.

Conclude your tour with visits to the churches of San Lorenzo and San Paolo Maggiore, and gaze upon the baroque Cathedral of Saint Gennaro, dating back to the 13th century. This cathedral, the heart of the Neapolitan faith, encapsulates the spirit and resilience of Naples. The tour at 10am is available in Italian only and includes a visit to Sansevero Chapel and Santa Chiara Cloister. The tour at 3.30pm is available in French only and includes a visit to Sansevero Chapel.
