What to do and see in Naples, Campania: The Best Scenic Railroads

July 29, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

Romantic Naples, two hours south of Rome, is the largest city in southern Italy. It has some of the world's best opera and theater houses and is often called an open-air museum, due to its many historic statues and monuments. Join families on promenade as the sun sets on the Bay of Naples. View finds from Pompeii and Herculaneum, destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale or revel in the art and architecture of Museo Cappella Sansevero, built in the late 1500s.

An official guide will lead you through the streets and alleys of the downtown, among monumental churches, archaeological remains, ancient bookshops, and the smell of the best pizza in the world. You will walk along the main street called Spaccanapoli (literally ‘Naples splitter’, as it cuts the town in two), and admire the many craft shops of via San Gregorio Armeno, known all over the world for the production of nativity scenes. After the guided tour, you will have time to continue the visit of the city at your convenience. At the end of the day, travel back to Rome by train.

The one down side is that even though this tour claims to offer a online ticket, it doesn’t. You need to go to their office across the street and pick it up. Not a big deal since it’s on the way if you come by train. The museum is gorgeous, a truly incredible experience.

Ele was just fantastic. She met us at Piazza Navona and took us through some wonderful highlights of Rome. We really enjoyed her descriptions of the sites, the Caravaggios we saw in one of the churches and the coffee we got. She also gave us some great tips on where to shop for gifts and places to eat while we visited Rome. She was fun to talk to and listen to and we're so glad we had a chance to enjoy a personal tour of some of the city's highlights. Thank you Ele! Our original travel date was November 2018 but we loved her so much we wanted to talk about it again.

I would like to thank Tour Guide Naples for the excellent service and professional employees. The Capri excursion was great with Ugo that he is very professional in his work and even a very nice guy with people.The Blue Grotto was amazing, I know that is not polite to say, but because of the pandemic we enjoyed every place we went in quiet without lining nowhere even at the Blue Grotto we were alone and my kids could even get the permission for a little swim into the cave !!! I want to thank you for everything and for sure if I will have other trip to Italy, you'll be the only 1 company to work with.

Great tour! For a very reasonable price, you get to meet two wineries, drink a good amount of wine and visit the magic city of San Geminiano, all with a super nice crew. My girlfriend and I had a lot of fun, it was truly one of the best days on our trip to Italy in 2018. I'd definitely recommend this Wine Tour for anyone interested

AMAZING!! Our tour through Capri and the different grottos was amazing! We were first picked up close to our AirBnB and taken to the port where we would board the boat. The You Know crew was very kind and friendly. We boarded the boat and took off to Capri with drinks. Along the way, our guide provided information, stories, background facts about Sorrento and Capri. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, the captain was also very friendly. They took us to different grottos, including the blue grotto. We were not able to go in because the tide was high. But visiting other grottos we were able to swim (the water was cold so only I swam). One amazing experience was swimming inside some of the grottos and being able to see the clear water and sea animals. We were dropped in Capri to explore at our leisure. They provided food and drinks throughout the trip. We then visited the iconic cathedral shape rock of Capri taking pictures and video. The crew made it very memorable and fun. We had a 11 month old baby with us and we felt very safe. Their COVID protocols also made us feel very safe and secure. We recommend this tour 100000%!
