Hi, I'm Dario, a licensed local guide in Naples with 10 years of experience and a background as tour manager on cruise ships across the Mediterranean. You only get one shot at this trip. I make sure you don't spend it wandering around without understanding what you're looking at, or stuck with a guide who barely speaks your language. Beyond what's required for the license, I've spent years studying the history, art and archaeology of this area on my own, because I don't want to just recite dates, I want to actually understand what we're looking at, and help you understand it too. If you're arriving by cruise, I build the day around your ship's schedule, with private pick-up and drop-off, so you're back on board on time, guaranteed. And you're always in direct contact with me, not an agency. A stranger once stopped me while I was working and asked, "Are you a tour guide?" I said yes. He replied, "Remember that all the travellers will see your land through your eyes." That's still my job: not reciting dates, but making you feel the 3,000 years of history behind Naples, so it becomes the part of the trip you'll talk about for years. About me: degree in Economics, background in luxury hotels, tour operators and cruise lines, which took me across most of the Mediterranean and many European capitals. I lived in the UK for a year and in South America for several years. I speak fluent English and Spanish, both C2 certified. I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Naples offers you a travel through the dimensions of several epochs and human senses. It is a unique city different from all the European capitals that you can visit. It is rich in history and art having passed through 2500 years creating an original and unique atmosphere expressed not only by its monuments but even by its humanity, traditions and beautiful nature. Naples is a kind of magic with its contradictions where lights and shadows mixed together to give you the sensation of paradise and hell at same time. Naples is not only an open space museum but even a street theatre where the actors are a multicoloured humanity that speak their own language, the Neapolitan dialect, and act like in a comedy. This outline city will involve your mind and body with all five senses. Those who are able to understand it, will fall in love with it.
The tour starts outside the Grand Hotel Vesuvio where you see the Egg Castle and the most beautiful street of Naples: Via Partenope. Then you walk and by lift you reach an amazing panoramic view of the city at Monte Echia. The tour proceeds by visiting one of the ancient areas of Naples where you walk on the narrow streets named “Vicoli”. Then you arrive at the most representative square of Naples Piazza Plebiscito where you discover the long history of the city. A few steps away you see the San Charles Opera House and the most important Castle of Naples: Maschio Angioino. The tour will finish by visiting The Umberto Gallery, an elegant mall built in the nineteenth century.
