About this tour

What to expect

You'll depart Rome early morning and arrive in Naples by mid-morning. After meeting your guide at the station, kick off with a traditional breakfast of crispy sfogliatella and strong coffee. The morning involves walking narrow alleys and plazas whilst your guide unpacks the city's complex past—Greek colonies, Norman kingdoms, Spanish rule, all layered into one street. You'll descend underground to see ancient quarries and WWII air-raid shelters carved into volcanic rock. Lunch is casual street food, then a proper sit-down pizza with cold beer. The afternoon circles through grander neighbourhoods with baroque architecture before a final sweet treat. You'll board the evening train back to Rome.
