Whoever stops by Naples, shouldn't miss a walk through its historic center w/an archeologist!
We'll guide you through the most remarkable historical/art spots of the city, with a particular focus on uncommon locations off the beaten track in this small group tour. We'll stroll through the Greek/Roman "layers" of Neapolis.

Start from Piazza Bellini , walking through the ancient streets of the "Decumani" and Spaccanapoli, stops to Gothic and Baroque churches as S. Lawrence, S. Domenico and the Cathedral (to understand the Miracle of S. Gennaro's Blood). We’ll pass the unique nativity scenes and artisans quarter of San Grergorio Armeno and we'll see the exclusive BANKSY mural (and TONS of street art on the way!). Cult of Dead/Underground church of Purgatory or Veiled Christ are two hidden gems that we propose to visit and you can decide!
