Historic Naples💕
Our guide was Raffaele and he was outstanding. He truly loves his City and is passionate about its history. He met us at our cruise ship on most likely the hottest day of the year. He was a real trooper and took us to the most interesting sights in the historic part of the City of Naples. Thank you for the great service.
Response from the operator: Thank you Susan!

The best way to get to know Naples!
We had a wonderful day with Giuseppe learning about the impressive and interesting history of Naples. It really helped us understand the differences between Naples and other places in Italy and Europe that we had visited. Giuseppe's in depth knowledge of the history, the art, and the culture was vast and varied, and most interesting. We had a lovely lunch and then we went to the archeology museum. The museum houses the most incredible collection of ancient art that I've ever seen. It was made so much better with Giuseppe's insights into the way that art was created and changed and why it exists then I ever knew. Even though it was father's day and his Saints day, and there was a football match, he stayed to make sure that we got the full experience of his city. We are so very grateful. The rest of our stay in Naples would not have been anything close to as enjoyable had we not had the wonderful orientation. Thank you.

Paola was an excellent guide
I was a bit concerned when I hadn't been contacted prior to getting to Naples, but their chat app was very helpful to get the right info. Paola met us right outside the port area and took us all over the city. Since it was a private tour she asked us where we wanted to go but also suggested some of her favorite places. Those were amazing but in addition she took us to the catacombs which was where we wanted to go. She spent a significant amount of time with us and at the end brought us to her favorite pizza place for lunch! Had a great time and it was totally worth the expense.
Response from the operator: We really appreciate the time you took to drop a commentary on your tour with us. This is important for us and it gives so much meaning to all the efforts we make to provide you with the best possible experience. Thank you again!

Superb, delightful tour of Naples & Pompeii w/ customized trip to grandfather's birthplace
Communications with Vincenzo at Leisure Italy were wonderfully speedy & efficient. We never expected to love Naples so much, but our guide, Ilaria, was an adorable, brilliant expert, brimming with insights & knowledge. She also spoke flawless English. Our time with her was one of the highlights of our 2 week tour of Italy. My 2 college-aged kids wanted to see the birthplace of their great-grandfather (who immigrated to the US), a small village near Pompeii, so Vincenzo arranged for a driver, Bruno, to take us there after a visit to Pompeii. Bruno was very prompt, engaging & enthusiastic & spoke English very well. We loved this region of Italy and would like to return to spend more time there. For us, the food in Naples was the best in all of Italy. We stayed in a hotel in Naples, rather than in Sorrento as many guidebooks suggested, and we felt very safe and happy.
Response from the operator: Hello, we really appreciate the time you took to drop a commentary on your tour with us. This is important for us and it gives so much meaning to all the efforts we make to provide you with the best possible experience. Thank you again on behalf also of Vincenzo and Bruno, Fabrizio Belleni

Guiseppe was our guide and it was an...
<p>Guiseppe was our guide and it was an incredible way to learn so much about the history of Naples. We were there in order to see Herculaneum and Pompeii, so I thought we'd include the walk as a way to learn our way around the city. I didn't expect it to be so interesting and enriching. We had no idea about the incredible history and archictecture of Naples - totally recommend!!</p>

The Perfect Private Walking Tour of Naples with Exclusive Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.
How much does The Perfect Private Walking Tour of Naples with Exclusive Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $202 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naples usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Perfect Private Walking Tour of Naples with Exclusive Guide take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Naples is not rushed.
Is The Perfect Private Walking Tour of Naples with Exclusive Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Perfect Private Walking Tour of Naples with Exclusive Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Perfect Private Walking Tour of Naples with Exclusive Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Perfect Private Walking Tour of Naples with Exclusive Guide?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Naples can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Naples and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Perfect Private Walking Tour of Naples with Exclusive Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Naples within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Naples?
+
On Outty we rank every Naples experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Caserta Royal Palace & Gardens Small Group Tour with Shuttle, Naples Guided Tour by Bike, Naples Pizza and Tiramisu Cooking Class. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Naples?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Naples?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
