Take the essential Naples tour

Naples’ historic city centre is the largest in Europe, set over 4,200 acres and encompassing 27 centuries of history. One of the oldest continuously-inhabited cities in the world, with Bronze Age Greek settlements dating back to the second millennium BC, the area was re-founded as Neápolis (‘new city’) in the sixth century BC, playing a key role in the merging of Greek culture into Roman society. Now you have the chance to explore Naples with your expert guide. Highlights include the Spaccanapoli district, the magnificent Duomo cathedral, the Cappella Sansevero, with its virtuosic sculptural masterpiece the Cristo Velato, as well as lesser-known gems such as the San Giovanni a Carbonara. The tour encompasses artistic and historic treasures, and plenty of local colour. Along the way, enjoy a bite of Naples’ famous street food frittura, a sinfully delicious mix of deep fried aubergines, zucchini, mozzarella, arancini, cauliflower, and potato croquettes.
