Tours & Activities in Naples
Underneath old Naples, there's a mirror of the city – cavernous and deep, this second city has sheltered and nourished Naples for millennia. Napoli Sotterranea dates back to 470 BC when the Greeks created underground cisterns for rainwater, and the Romans expanded on it with an aqueduct that served for centuries. As you venture lower, you'll be surprised by the 90% humidity. Imagine the intensified heat for the hundreds who sought refuge here as bombs rained down on Naples in the 1940s.
Set off from Pompeii, and journey to Vesuvius, the volcano that sealed the ancient city's fate. Your shared transport will drop you off at the base of the volcano, and your skip-the-line tickets will get you speedy access to the route that leads you to Vesuvius' peak. You'll even be able to peek into the crater that spilt forth the ash that entombed Pompeii and Herculaneum. There's more than just imagining the destructive force of Vesuvius, though. You'll also be greeted with breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples, Capri, Ischia, the edge of the Sorrento coast, and more. Your guide will also fill you in on fascinating anecdotes about the area and its history.
See the best of the Archaeological Museum of Naples in the company of a guide. Make the most of your time with the speedy-entry you'll get with this priority admission ticket. Start the tour at the museum ticket office and let your guide lead the way! Take a closer look at the art and artifacts of Pompeii, and Herculaneum, including Roman items that survived the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Admire the Farnese collection with ancient statues of Hercules, the two Tyrannicides (slayers of tyrants), the majestic Taurus Farnese group, mighty Greek gods and Roman emperors. Get close to some of the best-preserved frescoes and mosaics, and be inspired by classical art masterpieces, along with artifacts, coins and wall paintings. It's the best way to see one of Naples' best museums!

Authentic Stories from Diners
We recently dined at Januarius, but unfortunately we felt the restaurant was somewhat overrated. The dishes we ordered were generally average and did not quite meet the expectations created by the restaurant’s reputation. One aspect that made the experience less pleasant was the insistence, while taking the order, that we needed to decide and state the entire order at once—including the main dishes. We were also surprised by the level of concern regarding our children. Both are 8 years old and were sitting calmly—my daughter was simply drawing on her iPad—yet there seemed to be unnecessary sensitivity about where they were sitting and comments suggesting that the table settings might need to be changed if they were coloring at the table. Overall, the atmosphere felt less relaxed and welcoming than we had expected.
The food here is incredible. I had the spaghetti with pistacchio pesto and tuna and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. One of the waitresses was so kind and patient helping me to understand the specials in Italian because she knew I was trying to learn the language. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Napoli. I was going to take a photo of the food for a review but it was so delicious that I ate it before I remembered.
Excellent dining experience. This was the best place we ate during our 16 days all around Italy. Save some room for the desserts too.
Amazing beautiful food. The waiter recommend us the specials of the days and we went for it. The cooking techniques and the products they use are pure quality. We had some raviolis stuffed with prawn and they made me cry almost. Food porn! The location is nice also, in front of the Duomo. Small place, great service. Grazie
This was the highlight of Napoli for me. After finding the city overwhelming as a young girl on my own, it was nice to come down the road from where I was staying and have a nice dinner, staff were very nice, owner seemed very nice aswell and liked to watch things run smoothly, and the food was fantastic. I hope to come again one day.
