A lot of walking but you will get a good idea of the city and go to places you would not normally explore. Fanicular to the top and the whole walk is downhill.
We had a very nice tour with Giulia, she was very informative with facts and history of Naples, she stopped at various points to see he city and take pictures as well to tell us plenty of history of the area. We were just a group of four people which it was very very nice. Giulia even helped us navigate to the metro she was awesome. I would recommend it 💯 %
Myriam is very friendly and professional. Very interesting tour. A must-do.
Miriam the guide, a kind, welcoming, easygoing, and helpful girl who is also prepared for unusual curiosities and questions. An absolutely positive experience that I recommend Emanuela
A great experience thanks to the knowledgeable guidance of Miriam, a young and already skilled tour guide.
We had a luxury walking tour with just two of us and the guide Sandra. Loved the detailed story telling and slow paced excursion of Naples by foot.
Thank you! We're thrilled you enjoyed the private tour with Alexandra. Her storytelling and the relaxed pace really make Naples come alive. Hope to see you again! 😊
Alexandra was a great guide. Full of knowledge and friendly.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! 😊 We’re happy to hear that Alexandra made your experience enjoyable with her knowledge, friendliness, and professionalism. We truly appreciate your words and hope to welcome you again soon for another wonderful experience in Italy! ✨
We had a wonderful walking tour with Alexandra and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get a deeper insight into Naples or a first thorough introduction. She was already waiting for us at the meeting point and guided us up to the top of the city before leading us on a beautiful walk back down. We were lucky to be in a very small group of only three people, which made the experience feel almost private. Alexandra shared many interesting details about Naples, its history, and its community, and the views along the way were lovely. She took the time to answer all of our questions. We could not have asked for a better guide.
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 It was a real pleasure to explore Naples with you. ✨ I'm delighted that you enjoyed the walk, the views, and the stories about the city’s history and community. 🏛️🌅 Having such a small group made it even more special, and I truly appreciated all your thoughtful questions. 😊 Thank you for choosing this tour and for taking the time to share your experience. I hope you have wonderful memories of Naples and that our paths cross again someday! ❤️🍋
Miriam was a great tour guide and told us so much about the city. It was very interesting to learn all that she shared. We were ecstatic that we rode the binocular up the hill and walked down. It would’ve been hell going the other direction.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🌟 We’re delighted to hear that Miriam made your tour so enjoyable. She truly loves sharing the history and stories of the city, and it’s wonderful to know you found everything so interesting and engaging 😊💛 And yes — taking the funicular up and walking down is definitely the best choice! The other way around would’ve been quite the workout 😅⛰️ We’re really happy you had such a great experience. Hope to welcome you again soon for another beautiful day in Naples! 🌞✨
