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 wasn't built in a day. It has a long and complex history that starts from the underground and continues on the surface. The marvelous monuments, churches, buildings, and castles show well the glory of its past. It offers you 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 and beautiful nature. Naples is a kind of magic with its contradictions where lights and shadows are mixed together to give you the sensation of paradise and hell at the same time. It is not only an open space museum but even a street theatre where the actors are multicolored humanity that speak their own language, the Neapolitan dialect, and act like in a comedy. This outline city will involve your mind and body. Those who can understand it will fall in love with it.
The tour starts at Piazza del Plebiscito the biggest and most representative square of Naples. In this area, you will see the most representative monuments of the city such as The Royal Palace, the Castel symbol of Naples "Maschio Angioino" and others. While tea in England is a sort of religion, coffee in Naples has the same role so you will have a coffee break at the most famous Coffee bar in Naples: "Caffè Gambrinus". In this area, there will be a break for lunch time in a typical restaurant where you can choose Pizza or local dishes. Then you will proceed to the street named "Spaccanapoli", where you will see "Piazza del Gesù" overlooked by the churches of "Santa Chiara" and "Il Gesù Nuovo". This part of Naples is the most picturesque, exuberant, and bursting with life. The road map will proceed in "San Gregorio Armeno" which is famous for the artisans of the crib and will finish at "Piazza San Gaetano".
