Itinerary
Discover the ancient city of Pompeii, one of the most captivating archaeological sites in the world. As soon as you will reach Pompeii you will meet your local guide to explore the well-preserved ruins of this Roman city, which was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Walk along the cobblestone streets, and admire the houses, temples, and public buildings that provide a glimpse into everyday life in ancient Rome. This is an unforgettable experience for anyone interested in history and archaeology.
Start your Neapolitan adventure with a visit to Castel dell'Ovo, one of the city's oldest fortresses, located on the seafront. After exploring the castle, enjoy lunch at one of the restaurants overlooking the sea, where you can savor the delights of local cuisine with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples. Continue towards Piazza del Plebiscito, one of the largest and most majestic squares in Italy, dominated by the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola and the Royal Palace. From here, stroll along Via Toledo, one of the main shopping streets. Don't miss the Galleria Umberto I, a magnificent example of 19th century architecture with its glass and iron roof. Finally, stop to admire from the outside the Maschio Angioino, an imposing medieval castle that bears witness to the thousand-year history of Naples.
In the heart of the historic center of Naples, the Sansevero Chapel is a jewel of the Baroque full of symbolism, art and mystery. Wanted by Prince Raymond of Sangro, it houses the famous Veiled Christ, the extraordinary marble sculpture by Giuseppe Sanmartino, famous for the transparent veil carved in stone with incredible realism.

We took the tour with Michela as our guide, who is a wonderful person and very professional. She has great knowledge and constantly cares about our comfort and needs. The driver Max was very cautious, and Santiago made our visit to Pompeii super interesting. The best part was the company of Michela, who was very kind. Taking the tour with MamamiaItalia means not worrying about anything and just enjoying. I recommend it 100%.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Michela, Max, and Santiago. Your kind words about their professionalism, knowledge, and care mean a lot to us. We’re especially happy that Michela made you feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day. Thank you for recommending Mama Mia Italia, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in Italy!
Our private tour with our guide Dina and driver Max made for an incredible day! They kept us informed ahead of time which was very helpful. They were on time and very courteous. It was just my husband and me so we got all Dina’s attention. We learned a tremendous amount about so many topics! Our archeologist guide, Gerrano, was wonderful as well. Very engaging and we loved his “use your imagination” theme for the day. You could really tell he A. Knew his material and B. Loves Pompeii with a passion! The pizza and rest of the lunch in Naples was amazing. Our walking tour was quite informative and another highlight was seeing the veiled Christ statue. Simply stunning. We hit a lot of traffic in our way back to Rome, but our guide had warned that might be the case. Max was a great driver and we were able to stop for drinks, pitstops, etc. well paced day overall and I would lightly recommend this group of people for a wonderful day in Pompeii/Naples.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly happy to hear that your day with Dina and Max was so special. A special thank you from them as well. Our goal is always to offer an engaging, informative, and well-organized experience, and reading that you returned home with such great memories brings us so much joy. Pompeii, Naples, and their wonders – like the Veiled Christ – are truly breathtaking, and we’re glad you were able to experience them to the fullest. We hope to accompany you again in the future for more adventures in Italy! Warm regards from the whole team!
They picked us up from our hotel and we had an amazing experience with Max and Paula. They were so kind and professional. We had Ciro as our guide for Pompeii and he was amazing. He is a legend there and was incredibly knowledgeable. So some amazing views in Naples and had a wonderful lunch down by the water. I highly recommend this group. Our family loved the trip.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are absolutely delighted to hear that your experience with Max, Paola, and our guide Ciro was so positive. Knowing that your family enjoyed the views of Naples and the seaside lunch truly makes us happy. We hope to see you again soon for another adventure together! Warm regards from all of our team!
This experience could not have been better. We are a family of five, with my 82 year old mom using a walking stick and my husband in a wheelchair with a cast. I spent a long time researching tours with accessibility accommodations and feel like I hit the jackpot. Our driver Max and guide Paula picked us up at our hotel in a spacious Mercedes van that comfortably fit our very tall family and collapsable wheel chair. They took such good care of us and even communicated our requests to our amazing Pompeii guide Ciro. Ciro grew up in the area and was the perfect guide. He was so accommodating and gave a very informative tour, making sure we found as many wheelchair paths as possible. Loved the visit to Naples and delicious lunch location. It was an amazing day and cannot recommend this experience with Max, Paula, and Ciro enough. This is the trip you want.
We really thank you very much for your kind and enthusiastic words, we are extremely pleased to know that you enjoyed the tour so much and we really hope to meet you again soon!
