We had the most wonderful, friendly tour guide, Titi, who made the whole tour very enjoyable. Her knowledge and language skills were second to none. We would highly recommend this tour with Titi. We enjoyed every minute.

Make your own way to a central meeting point to meet your art historian guide.

Your guide leads you along the Greek streets of Naples and shows you the underground excavations that date to ancient Rome. Continue to Piazza del Gesù, Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, San Gregorio Armeno market, and see typical shops and the Baroque-style Cathedral. Your guide explains the Pagan and Christian influences that remain a characteristic of the present day and can be noted in some of the landmarks you pass.

Experience Neapolitan culture in the narrow streets, and have one hour on your own to browse the shops and purchase a treat for lunch. Feel free to ask your guide for recommendations.

After lunch, view the Theater of San Carlo, a medieval castle that holds one of the world's best neoclassical theaters. Nearby, check out the inside of the Galleria Umberto shopping center, then stroll along the historical Via Toledo and Piazza Plebiscito.

Walking tour

JudyA_V, Jul 2026

Lots of information. Four hours long and very hot out so a bit tiring for most of us. But overall worthwhile.

Try to select Lorenzo as your tour guide. He has a great program and is very knowledgeable. We had a terrific time

Fantastic tour

Di_C, Jun 2026

Lorenzo was a brilliant tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and it was time well spent getting to know parts of Naples we may never have seen. Would highly recommend and thank you Lorenzo

I really enjoyed...

alannahosullivan, Jun 2026

I really enjoyed yesterday’s walking tour of Naples. I had a great guide called Salvadore who was very friendly and gave us an enjoyable day walking around the city.

An great way to get a start finding your way around Napoli

Vicki_A, Jun 2026

Our guide Lorenzo Leva gave us the most detailed history on Naples and took his time explaining even the most minute aspects letting us take our time to look at the areas we visited. Especially loved the oldest cafe Gran Caffe Gambrinus with beautiful interiors & huge variety of pastries & great coffee. Not only that but Lorenzo also gave us good advice on such things as buying train tickets - you can get them at Tabachi outlets! Lots of walking involved so be prepared if you continue to explore after the tour - you must go & catch the funicular up to Castel Sant’Elmo for the best view of all of Naples!

Our guide was very...

Sam_W, Jun 2026

Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all questions we threw his way. He allowed time at each place to look around and take photos. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a tour of Naples

Great tour

Tiffany_C, May 2026

Toured last week with Josephina and she was an awesome guide!! She was enthusiastic, very knowledgeable about the history of Naples, and thorough in her explanations. I enjoyed all the sites and this was a good way to see the city. She also gave great dining and shopping recommendations

Unfortunately a big disappointment

Camila_B, May 2026

I booked this tour following the great amount of good reviews here and unfortunately my experience was mostly disappointing. After the tour guide arrived 20 minutes late after allegedly having to pick up a few tour attendees, we started walking around but the tour guide’s english was super limited and he didn’t know anything really interesting about the places we visited. I could’ve just followed google maps and read a glance about the sites there and would’ve been the same, and cheaper. he was very nice to everyone though and very kind to the older people who had joined the tour. Overall, the experience was good because of all the nice tour attendees, but the tour itself was pretty poor and disappointing.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Camila, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we are glad to hear you appreciated the kindness and attentiveness of our guide towards all guests, we are truly sorry that the tour did not live up to your expectations. Regarding the departure delay, our walking tours are carefully timed, but occasionally a brief delay can occur at the very beginning to ensure all participants arriving from different locations are safely grouped together. We apologize for the 20 minutes of waiting.

Good tour, but…

Brien_H, May 2026

Great tour itinerary, but long winded tour guide with hard to understand accent. Especially fun to take metro safely.

Nice tour with Lorenzo

Vanessa_H, May 2026

Nice walking tour with Lorenzo - he was really kind and showed us some of the important places in Naples :)

Napoli in the sunshine

Sue_K, May 2026

Geppi was a very knowledgeable guide who was passionate about his city. Good English and a pleasurable experience.

Great walking tour!

Kim_l, May 2026

Lorenzo was very friendly and very informative about the city of Naples. The pace was good too for an average paced walker. I recommend this tour as we would not have been able to see all the spots if we tried to do it ourselves.

Great tour to experience...

Mathew_G, May 2026

Great tour to experience parts of Naples you would probably never see on your own. Many thanks to our super guide Emanuela.

Great walking tour of Naples, with a passionate advocate in Giovanni!!

Frederick_V, May 2026

Giovanni was our guide, and he did an excellent job of introducing our group to the back-streets of Naples. It was a fascinating tour, and Giovanni is clearly passionate about his city. We all had fun, and enjoyed his stories and the beautiful sights of “inner” Naples.

A great tour

Linda_A, May 2026

Lorenzo our tour guide was great. He kept everyone engage in the tour . He was very informative and answered all our questions we had a great group . Thank you Lorenzo for a great tour . Hope to see you again . Thank you Linda and Alex

City & Underground Tour

Teddi_L, Apr 2026

The guide was very informative and nice. She gave us plenty of time to take pictures and look at the historical sites. The only down side was it was a mixed group of English & Spanish so it took longer because she had to say everything twice. We would have preferred to just have had English.

Most enjoyable tour with first class guide.

Peter_L, Apr 2026

Wonderful Tour and Tour Guide

Angelo_M, Apr 2026

Our Tour guide did a wonderful job showing us the highlights and history of Naples. We really enjoyed the entire experience.

Interesting walk

Diego_F, Apr 2026

Interesting walk and places, would have liked more info on history and relevant facts of the city and region.

Good Job Lorenzo ….

Albert_G, Apr 2026

Lorenzo, was very friendly, patient, and kind. He has a nice smile and helpful attitude. As an American, in Napoli, I was not familiar with paying to use the toilet. Lorenzo was kind enough to lend me local currency to “do my business”👍🤣. As a US tour guide myself, i would have liked more history and context, but given the time, sites, visited, language and distance covered. We received a good informational tour. Thanks Lorenzo…. Good job!! 👍🇮🇹Berto and Lily

Lorenco was great, he was...

Danai_M, Apr 2026

Lorenco was great, he was vey friendly kind and fun. We had a wonderful tour thank you so much 💖💖💖💖

False Start

Denis_H, Mar 2026

Our walking tour started badly, when we couldn't find the starting point by address or on google maps link despite the fact that we arrived very early. Thankfully the guide called us to direct us to the NEW starting point explaining that Viator was an agent not the operator and that we had been sent messages by text and email of the change. We trawled through all messages and found that we had not been contacted by any method. Once the tour got going and we had given our embarrassed apologies to others it was fine, our guide Paula was enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear customer, thank you for your comment. We have checked, and the only message you received through the dashboard was ours from Worldtours, where we clearly indicated exactly where to meet and at what time. We are sorry that it may have seemed confusing, but all the confirmation details were provided correctly. We will use your feedback to improve our service.

Walking Tour of Naples

Mark_C, Mar 2026

Met Diane at a meeting point close to the Cruise Terminal, fairly close to our hotel. Diane is an informative guide and we had a full value morning in her company, lots of interesting sites and information. Tour is approximately 4 miles in length and includes stairs so I wouldn't recommend for anyone who needs assistance with walking. Diane speaks several languages and her English was excellent. Occasionally a little difficult to hear when then was a lot of background noise but this didn't detract from the overall tour. Would benefit from Bluetooth earpieces perhaps? Would certainly recommend the tour and Diane was more than willing to impart her knowledge of the City and its history.

A fantastic introduction to Naples

Fiona_F, Mar 2026

We took this tour on our first day in Naples, and we are so glad we did. It was like a 'rough guide' to Naples, led by our charming local guide, Lorenzo. We would never have found all the amazing spots he took us to, and thanks to all his tips and knowledge, we were really able to make the most of our 3 days in Naples. Lorenzo skillfully managed to be attentive and informative, but gave us space and time to enjoy the landmarks along the way. He also managed to subtly work in several toilet breaks, as a lady, I really appreciated that. The highlight for us was the underground market, but we loved everything he took us to on the way. Naples is a buzzy, raw, historic, beautiful and energetic city, best seen through the eyes of someone who truly knows and loves it, and then you will get the best of it.

Fun and interesting tour of Naples

Florian_V, Mar 2026

Our guide Clemente gave us a great tour of Naples, covering many historic sites accompanied by interesting facts and stories. We were a few minutes late due to the notoriously chaotic Neapolitan traffic, but thankfully the group waited for us.

Naples an eye-opener tour

Declan_M, Mar 2026

One of the best tours we have experienced. Giuseppe was exceptional and explained everything in great detail. He has a lovely personality and was so helpful and interesting. A must do tour.

Very informative

Linda_P, Mar 2026

A great way to start your trip, getting to know the city a little. The tour guide Geppi was well informed and made the tour fun

Walking tour of Naples with underground ruins

Elena_S, Mar 2026

We had an enjoyable morning walk with our guide Titti who was very kind and who explained and shared many new things about Naples! We would recommend this tour for people who wish to find out some historical facts and visit a few of the most important sights in Naples.
