★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 510 reviews · 3 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $33

Walk Naples from Greek streets to Roman ruins, San Carlo, Spaccanapoli, and Piazza Plebiscito with an art historian guide.

“Advertise stated we would have a tour for 5 hours led by a professional art historian. However our tour guide was not even aware of the basic history of the sites she showed us. On several occasions she didn’t know where to go, what things were about and we saw her quickly trying to read the signage aloud to us. No doubt she was a lovely person but it was apparent to the entire tour that she did not know the sites well.”
