About this experience
I'm knowledgeable, friendly, passionate, careful: all you can hope to have in a private guide. I can help you navigate through the sights in such a way and provide excellent context so that you'll be truly able to appreciate what you see without being overwhelmed. I can arrange, per extra request, private transportation from/to the sites to visit and skip the line tickets. If I'm the only individual guide that Rick Steves "Europe through the Back Door" uses for tours in Naples city, there must be a reason! Please notice that for this tour a minimum of 6 participants is required.

What you'll see and do
Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli
I will explain you the most famous artifacts (i.e. the highlights) found in Pompeii and Herculaneum, the towns buried by Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD such as frescoes (i.e. mural paintings), statues, domestic items made from blown glass, bronze, ivory, painted terracotta, semiprecious stones et cetera as well as silver and golden jewels, mosaics, "erotica" (in the famous Secret Cabinet!) and, last but not least, the most important among the huge monolithic marble statues dating back to the Roman Imperial Age and that belong to the so-called Farnese Collection. NOTICE: if you want to tour the historic districts of Naples instead of the National Archaeological Museum, it is fine, just let me know. In any case and for any tour I will arrange the entry ticktes and you will reimburse me.

An exceptional day with Dr. Pina Esposito in Naples.
My husband and I enjoyed an informative and educational Naples City Day Tour with Dr. Pina Esposito, PhD Greco-Roman archaeologist/ art historian, licensed tour guide, and a native of Naples. This was part driving tour, part walking tour. We were picked up in Sorrento by her private driver and taken to Naples where we met Dr. Esposito and spent the whole day, first at the Naples Archeological Museum where she explained the amazing restored art objects in great detail, giving us a greater understanding than if we had tried to navigate on our own. She also procured special tickets allowing us entry into certain exhibit rooms. After the museum tour we walked around many special areas of Naples, as she knows the city so well. It was an experience we will always remember. At the end of the day her driver drove us back to our hotel.

Great Tour of Napoli!
Pina was an unbelievable tour guide! The tour of the Napoli Archeological Museum was phenomenal and gave us such a great insight for our tour of Pompeii the next day! Plus, the walking tour of Napoli itself and the explanation of the history of the city was so interesting and detailed. I would highly recommend anyone who goes to Naples to enlist Pina as your guide!

Pina is really passionate on all things Napoli which becomes infectious over the course of the tour
My wife and I enjoyed Pina’s company we agreed to have the tour to ourselves which I recommend. Enjoy the city and all Pina has to offer

Perfect Naples Private Tour Guide
We found Pina as a recommended Naples tour guide in Rick Steves book on Italy. From the outset Pina was very easy to communicate with by email. Her correspondence was both timely and comprehensive. We described our interests and time frame (two full days in Naples), and she gave us detailed options. The two days we spent with Pina in and around Naples were wonderful. She is a local, and a proud graduate of the University of Naples. She knows the city and environs intimately, and she has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history, including the very interesting geological history, of the region. With Pina’s guidance we filled the two days with sights and sounds and tastes that we would not have gotten to, and in some cases would not have even known to ask about. At one historical site in the Phlegrean Fields, an area I would not have known about but for Pina, I took picture that is the first picture from this trip that was worthy of printing and framing. This is not a comment on my meagre photography skills, but on the quality of the places Pina shared with us. One of the advantages for us of having a private guide is absolute flexibility, and here we got to benefit from the fact that in addition to having so much knowledge about her city’s history that she loves to share, Pina had excellent knowledge of where to get espresso and gelato. When I expressed a need for a shot of espresso, Pina quickly responded by diverting us to a delightful and historic coffee place, unlike any I’ve seen, with excellent espresso, and where we were also able to find some non-touristy gifts for people back home. And when I also said I needed gelato, Pina took us to a place with the best pistachio gelato I’ve ever had (and this was our fifth trip to Italy). (I am not naming these or other places Pina took us to in this review, because my goal here is to explain why you should consider engaging Pina’s services, not to give away her secrets!)

Mama Mia!
Mama Mia! What a wealth of knowledge and energy with our guide Dr Pina Esposito. Not only did she take us on a 7 hour tour of Old Naples and the Archeological museum but also a 7 hour day of Pompeii and Herculaneum. We really didn’t know what to expect with Rick Steves mentioning her in his guidebook but he has definitely shared the best of the best! Her sense of humor was contagious as well and she didn’t shy away from any subject asked of her. How grand! Have you ever met someone who felt like your good friend forever?! We felt we had met just such a person and wished we could have taken her with us on the rest of our southern Italy vacation, however, instead we must say Grazie Dr Pina Esposito.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Walk through Naples City or National Archaeological Museum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.
How much does Walk through Naples City or National Archaeological Museum cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 Walk through Naples City or National Archaeological Museum take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Walk through Naples City or National Archaeological Museum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Walk through Naples City or National Archaeological Museum?
+
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 Walk through Naples City or National Archaeological Museum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walk through Naples City or National Archaeological Museum?
+
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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walk through Naples City or National Archaeological Museum 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 Full Day Private Amalfi Coast Tour from Sorrento/Naples/Salerno, Caserta Royal Palace & Gardens Small Group Tour with Shuttle, 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.
