What to expect
Your guide will stitch together Naples' layers—medieval alleyways, Renaissance façades, and Roman voids. Expect narrow, occasionally steep streets with uneven surfaces; the descent into underground ruins involves stairs and low ceilings. Pace is steady rather than leisurely. You'll pause at churches and public squares but won't enter all buildings. The walk covers roughly 4–5 km. Streets bustle with locals, vendors, and scooters; stay close to your guide. Three hours keeps the tour brisk, so there's minimal downtime.
