Very rushed

Nancy_H, Apr 2024

The city view from the highest point was the best part of the tour. We never saw the inside of the cathedral, only saw it from a distance. We had a very brief and rushed stop at a pastry/expresso shop, with no explanation of how to purchase anything. The whole tour was cut short since we spent a lot of time trying to find our group with a non-English speaking man, and then driving through town to meet our tour guide. Since we were the only 2 folks not going to Pompeii we were combined with the Pompeii group and never got any real personal attention or adequate time. Everything for our part of the tour was rush, rush, rush.

small group tour

veravdch47, Oct 2019

Short and unpleasant. driver was constantly on the phone speaking in his language and didn't explain for 30 plus minutes why we didn't have a tour guide. Finally she showed up, spoke for 5 minutes, sent us to the church, divided group for 2 different destinations. It's it.

Naples like a local

Mark_G, Jul 2018

Fun walking tour of Naples. Only six of us. Guide awesome. Lots of time for exploration. Two hours of super experience.

Steve R, Nov 2017

This tour got off to a slow start as we waited quite some time for the last group of participants. This might not have been their fault, we have found that sometimes Viator gives different starting times for the same tour. Once started, we visited the Duomo, which was interesting. Then we drove through the city to an overlook, which has a nice view of the city and harbor. Finally to Plebiscite Square, where we could appreciate the buildings. Short tour, gave us an appreciation of Naples, and the guide was fine. However, I'd recommend you look at other available tours.

This tour provided a great insight on Naples city. We got to see a lot of the sights in a short amount of time that allowed for extra exploring opportunities.

Lynn M, Nov 2016

The tour is self was fine. However, I believe the pick-up and drop-off were to be at the cruise terminal. The vendor left me about a half-mile from the terminal and gave me instructions for how to walk back alone.

Interesting tour which showed the front and back of Naples City.

Vincenzo B, Aug 2016

The guide made the most out of what turned out to be a very wet morning with severe thunder storms. We thought the drive along the coast line and city could have included more sights during the short time allocated, however we did enjoy our short stops which included a visit to the Cathedral which is an absolute stand-out and a must see when visiting Naples. The tour ends in a central location not far from the port which is ideal should you wish to walk around the historical area of Naples.

This tour exceeded our expectations...

Deborah M, Jun 2016

This tour exceeded our expectations as we thought most of the 2 hours would be just driving around with a few photo stops. What a nice surprise to discover we had a guided tour of a beautiful Cathedral and a small walking tour at the end where our friendly, knowledgeable guide pointed out other places of interest and told us in detail how to return to our ship which was very close by. We also had a beautiful photo stop at a lookout you would have a hard time to find or even know existed. Definitely worth it as we had an afternoon tour in the afternoon through the cruiseline and got back to the ship in plenty of time to eat lunch and relax before the other tour.

Glenn R, Jun 2016

It was an ok tour. Not too exciting...mainly visited one church and had a few photo ops. Our guide was fluent in English and Spanish..we were more Spanish than English speakers. Some were booked for a longer tour some were left in a square not far from the ship. We had a pizza and walked back to the port. Not sure it was a great value for our money.

Thomas S, Oct 2015

Our guide was informative, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would have given 5 stars if the tour was completely in English, though. The guide spent a lot of time talking with the Spanish-speaking tourists they kept asking him questions and he was only responding, but I felt like I was missing out.

Leonard C, Oct 2014

The Viator person found us at the pier and then our little group of 12 or so exited the harbor area. Nice to have a smaller van and smaller group. Driver was very good. I didn't think our guide was. He was disappointing and un-professional in my judgment. He didn't comment on the city or on streets as we drove through. He only shared information when asked specific questions and that was only audible to those by him. He constantly interjected his own personal opinions, e.g. about immigrants coming to Italy. Also in the Cathedral he thoroughly trashed devotional practices, especially surrounding San Gennaro, and Catholicism in general. There was no balance, no context, little historical explanation about how the devotion to San Gennaro arose and grew. I found this not only totally subjective, but unprofessional for a so-called professional guide. He certainly can have his own beliefs and express this, but he should be explaining the site with more balance and sensitivity. Disappointing. But on the whole we still enjoyed the tour since it was the kind of short overview of Naples we wanted. I just wish we had a different guide, one more like those that others raved about online.

DavId M, Sep 2014

good all round short trip,guide was on time at the docks was a taste of naples,excellent value

It was really disappointing, Why...

Carol O, Jun 2014

It was really disappointing, Why? because in the 2 short hours we saw just 3 things (1) The Cathedral, which was interesting,(2) A view just above the town, disappointing, and then back through the heavy traffic see a large square? Then finally dropped off at a shopping centre to look at the architecture ,which we did in 5 minutes, we did not want to stay and shop, but instead of being taken back to the cruise ship as we requested we were dumped in a VERY busy street across from the port and told we would be fine to cross this very busy road to get back. In between leaving us at the shopping centre the guide had picked up the next bunch of people so she seemed eager to get to her next venue.

In two and one-half hours we saw...

William_J, Dec 2013

In two and one-half hours we saw quite a few highlights of Naples. The cost was approximately 60% less than the cruise ship cast for the similar tour. We highly recommend this tour. It was stress free.

Nice tour for anyone wanting a quick glimpse of Naples. The visit to the cathedral was very interesting and well explained by our excellent guide.

Leonard W, Oct 2013

The young guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and his English was excellent. He made the tour extremely interesting without labouring us with irrelevant information. He was able to answer all of our questions without hesitation.

Mrs_M, Oct 2013

Guide met us at the pier as expected and there were only 8 guests in the group. Guide made the tour interesting and both he and the driver had a great sense of humour and local knowledge.
