4.City Walking Tour w/ Underground Roman Ruins Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 247 reviews · from $50

Start at Piazza Municipio and walk Naples with a local guide through royal squares, Spaccanapoli, Via dei Tribunali, and Neapolis Sotterrata. Expect 3 to 5 hours on foot, a 30-minute underground visit, and an optional lunch of caprese, pasta, dessert, wine, and water.

“Christian led our group and was not expecting such extensive information from the guide. It was listed as self-guided but Christian prepared the group for each stop with the history and facts a full guided tour would have. He was friendly and attentive to the entire group’s requests and questions. The 4 hours in Florence could have been done in three hours. Overall, excellent tour for the price.”

5.Naples Shore Excursion: Naples City and Pompeii Half Day Sightseeing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 219 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $97

Start at Naples’ cathedral, Posillipo terrace, and Piazza del Plebiscito, then spend about two hours at Pompeii with a guide. Elisa, Maria, Margarita, and Annalisa are among the guides praised for clear commentary. Shared transport, entry, headsets, and port return are included.

“When we booked we were promised a van with no more than 10 people, and this was the case for the first half of the tour of Naples. However, we were moved from van to van at various locations, had different guides, drivers, and different tourists at each van switch. When the van changes happened, it seemed that the tour company did not have things organized well. At one point we sat in the van on the street for nearly 20 minutes waiting for another van to arrive. The city tour is not worth the time as the city is dirty, covered in graffiti, and the tour did not show…”

8.Diego Maradona Guided City Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 77 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $61

Meet your English or Spanish-speaking guide at Teatro San Carlo and walk from Piazza del Plebiscito through Galleria Umberto I into the Spanish Quarter. You’ll see Maradona murals, shrines, mosaics, and stencils, including the famous Piazza Maradona mural. Guides such as Palmira bring local insight to the story.

“It was so interesting to have a local person guide us through the Spanish quarter to highlight points of interest that we might otherwise have missed on our own. Also, to get a sense of how Diego Maradona inspired hope and pride in the people of Naples, and the importance of children having a role model who gives them reason to believe in their own future. I am sorry to have missed the name of our guide. She did a wonderful job of explaining the magic of Diego Maradona. We would highly recommend this tour. Grazie mille”

9.Explore Capri and Anacapri from Naples: Sea, City and Limoncello

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 68 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $155

Travel from Naples to Capri with an authorized guide, ferry across the Gulf of Naples, minibus transfers, walks through Anacapri and Capri, limoncello tasting, and an optional boat ride past the White and Green Grottos, Malaparte House, and the Faraglioni.

“Overall, the trip was disappointing. Communication before the trip was good, however on reflection, the pick up time was too early. I appreciate traffic can be unpredictable but we were waiting around at the port, having arrived at 8.20am when the boat departure time was 9.15am. Unfortunately, there is nowhere to really sit or anywhere enticing enough to get coffee / anything else. Given that the majority of the people in our group were retirees, there appeared to be little consideration of this fact. On arriving to Capri at 10am, we all disembarked, only to get back on the exact same boat 15-20 mins later to do the boat ride…”

10.Private Transfer from Naples Airport to Naples City

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 66 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.) Top rated

Book a private, air-conditioned transfer from Naples Airport or Naples train station to your Naples city hotel. Your driver meets you, helps with luggage, and may provide a larger vehicle if you share your bag count. Victor, also called Vittorio, has earned special praise for friendly service.

“We booked a private transfer with Viator from Naples airport to the hotel. Our flight from the US was cancelled and created a nightmare for us. As soon as I found out I texted and messaged the tour operator to let them know. Then cancelled in Viator. I asked the tour operator if we could transfer a credit to a different arrival day - though I hadn’t even been able to rebook my flight yet. They had plenty of notice and this didn’t affect their driver at all. Their response was that they saw our flight wasn’t cancelled and therefore the booking was still on. Outrageous! They were rude and…”

11.Art Workshop in Naples city centre with Aperitif

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 10 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $58

In Naples, Maria guides you through a relaxed 2.5-hour painting workshop using acrylics on a 30 x 30 cm canvas. Choose a Naples-inspired subject, get step-by-step help, and finish with a €4 café voucher for wine or local products. The small group is capped at six.

“Bellissmo workshop nel centro di Napoli (noi siamo state a Piazza Bellini). Il laboratorio d’arte dura circa 3 ore (a noi anche di più in realtà) e vi consente di realizzare un vero e proprio dipinto su tela. E’ perfetto sia per principianti (c’e’ il supporto di Maria pronta a dare consigli e dritte utili) che esperti. Potete scegliere voi il soggetto del quadro e avrete a disposizione tutto il materiale utile per la sua realizzazione (tela, pennelli, acrilici, matite ecc). E’ stato davvero molto rilassante poter trascorrere alcune ore in totale spensieratezza dipingendo. L’arte credo sia terapeutica in tutte le sue forme e questo laboratorio rappresenta inoltre l’occasione perfetta…”
