This was a wonderful tour, very well paced with enough time to see everything - and, the guide was exceptional! She was able to provide so much history, knowledge, interesting stories, etc. in a very engaging way. What I most appreciated is that she made a point of speaking to and asking thoughtful questions of each member of the group. The questions were great - they were more about what we thought or would like to know more about - and, it also made us bond more as a group. She also didn't rush the group if we collectively wanted to stay a bit longer at a particular stop. Excellent experience and would not hesitate to book again!

Nice overview of some of Naples best sites. The veiled Christ was amazing to see in person! It anas so much more impressive in person than any picture could possibly show. Our guide Nikki was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions.

THE TOUR IS IN ITALIAN!!! Be very careful about which language you pick because if you get it wrong, they won’t give you your money back or let you switch to one in English.

Dear Guest,
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you so thoroughly enjoyed your tour of Naples and its historic city center. It is a pleasure to know that Maria’s enthusiasm, deep knowledge, and passion for her city made your experience so meaningful and inspiring. Her ability to convey the rich history and vibrant character of Naples is something we deeply value at Askos Tours.
We are truly grateful for your kind words and appreciation, and we will be sure to share your compliments with Maria. We hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable cultural experience with us.

This tour was misrepresented as it did not include the cloister of Santa Chiara and instead included a city tour, a tour we had already taken two days before with Viator. It was a waste of money.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear Wendy,
We are truly sorry to read that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, after reviewing your booking details, we would like to clarify that the tour you selected – the English-language option – does not include the visit to the Cloister of Santa Chiara. This information is clearly stated in the tour description on our website and on the booking platform.
It seems there may have been some confusion between the different versions of our Naples tours, as some itineraries include the Cloister while others focus on a broader city walk. We always encourage our guests to check the inclusions before booking, but we certainly understand how disappointing it can be when the tour differs from what you expected.
Please rest assured that your feedback is valuable to us, and we will use it to further improve the clarity of our tour descriptions. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future for an experience that fully meets your expectations.
Kind regards,
The Askos Tours Team

Great experience with ASKOS tour with Carlos as our guide. He is very passionate about what he does and all in our party was hanging onto every word he was saying. They were all fascinated by every thing he highlighted and said. I would definitely do this tour again. If it is available be sure to book it immediately.

Several hours long & lots of walking. Tour guide Nicolette was excellent. A great deal of interesting information and places to see.
Judith_C, Aug 2025
Our guide, Nicoletta, was personable, incredibly knowledgeable, and added greatly to our tour. She gave us tidbits about Neopolitan superstitions, personality traits, and commented on statues or streets that we passed or walked on. She moved effortlessly between Italian and English. Just delightful!

The “Naples: Veiled Christ & Santa Chiara Cloister Small Group Tour” was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Our guide was simply wonderful—extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history and art we encountered. Their engaging storytelling and great sense of humor added a delightful touch, making the tour not only informative but also incredibly enjoyable.
The Veiled Christ is a true masterpiece, and having such a skilled guide to explain its intricate details and history made it all the more impressive. The Santa Chiara Cloister was also captivating, with its serene beauty and fascinating background brought to life through our guide’s expertise.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Naples. It’s a perfect blend of art, history, and culture, presented in an enjoyable and engaging way. Five stars!

I felt the Tour was maybe a bit to long.. Our guide was very knowledgeable but a little hard to understand. The Veil of Christ was the highlight

My guide Francesca was personal, passionate about history and very knowledgeable.
I highly recommend this tour. I would not be able to see what the guide showed me on my own. Thumbs up!
Bernardo_L, Aug 2024
When taking a historical walking tour of any city, the tour guide is the key to success. Today, we got lucky. Nicoletta was knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining. Her folk stories blended well with the history of Napoli and the places we were visiting. She knew every detail of the historical timeline and relevance to the tour. I highly recommend the tour operator.
Janine_P, Jul 2024
This tour was Italian speaking we new this when we booked but we were keen to visit the veiled Christ and other parts of Naples that we wouldn't know about

Incredibile experience, great knowledgeable tour person it was an easy pace and precise moments to explain personal questions
Angela_C, Oct 2022
The guide Ivan was wonderful. I had done the tour but he told us so much more. So glad we got him. Please tell Askos the tour company you used how great he was. And of course the Veiled Christ is not to be missed.

Hello, glad to hear this from you, thank you so much!

Our guide was Jasmine and we wentmon the 16:30 tour. I was traveling with 2 little children aged 2 and 3 3/4 years. Jasmine was very knowledgeable, charming, and accommodating. What we enjoyed the most is that Jasmine was able to cater to our needs, which was not easy with 2 small children. Also we were able to add stops to our tour, searching for interesting street art by Banksy and Blub.
peter_m, Jul 2019
Very interesting tour of some unusual sights. I enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended. Great combination of street sights and churches.
Isa_B, Jun 2019
I organized a walking tour of Naples as it was the first time Ivisited the city. We met our tour guide Jasmine at the established time in the lovely piazza of Chiesa del Gesu. right away, Jasmine made us feel at home. We immiediately felt in good hands. She started the tour with the beautiful church of chiesa del Gesu'. From there she took us to see many beautiful parts of the city and at the same time giving us more interesting information about the city . We highly recommend Jasmine!

Carlo is a very knowledgeable guide and described Naples and its many curiosities to us with love. He made us feel emotions and experience many aspects that we would not have been able to grasp without a guide.

Raffaella_S, May 2026
Carlo was a special and impeccable guide, particularly knowledgeable, and he instilled a love for art and curiosity in us. Capable of engaging the group, he provided explanations of the works from literary, artistic, philosophical, and scientific perspectives. All of this was skillfully interspersed with information related to the traditions and folklore of Naples.
