About this experience
THIS IS A GRAND TOUR not a standard tour
Let's go for a walk thorugh the main highlights together and I'd be more than happy to show you some local hidden spots as well.
Meeting point is at the biggest square of Italy: Piazza del Plebiscito where is placed the Royal Palace of Naples and also the oldest bar of the city (Gran Cafè Gambrinus); we'll walk together through via Toledo, from one point to the opposite end of the city, reaching the UNESCO Historical Center of Naples (greek/roman side).During the walk we can explore the Spanish Quarter, the local market of Pignasecca. It's not a marathon, so on the way we can stop also to taste local food and, of course, a neapolitan "Caffè"!
The tour continues at Piazza del Gesù with the greatest baroque church in town, piazza Bellini where we can see the ancient greek walls of "Neapolis", via dei Tribunali with the oldest tower of Pietrasanta, San Gregorio Armeno (artisans), Spaccanapoli and the Duomo of S. Gennaro and his Blood!
