Naples is a fascinating crossroads of people and history. It was founded by the Greeks and then ruled by many different nations – Romans, Byzantine, Germans, Normans, French, Spanish, and Austrians. Each of these nations left an indelible sign of their presence, not only in the monuments of the city but also in its language, customs, traditions, food, way of life.
Your private guide will be there to point you out to the main historical information but also to introduce you to some local delicacies and to the spirit of this bustling city. The tour is customizable and private.
