Here’s an overview of your tour
Let me introduce you to the historical and also modern-day stories of this enchanting my city, Naples. Let's go for a walk past the main highlights together and I'd be more than happy to show you some local hidden spots as well.
The itinerary is flexible and up to you. Are you more into churches and architecture? Or into spooky stories and secrets? Highlights or hidden gems? Let me know what would you prefer and I will create a tour around your wishes.
As you venture through the city to discover its history and art. Check out Chapel of Sansevero, a place full of symbols and mysteries bound up with the Enlightenment, Freemasonry and the charming personality of a man who created this place thanks to his love for beauty and science.
Continue to the Pietrasanta - one of my favorite hidden gems of the city, and then head onward to the Naples cathedral, known as the Basilica of San Gennaro, site of the annual blood miracle.
By the way we'll stroll through "Spaccanapoli" the main Greek/Roman/Modern street of Napoli understanding culture, secrets, people, customs...neapolitan culture! Discover how the artisans of San Gregorio Armeno are making their cribs or nativity scenes.
End your tour with a highlight you shouldn't miss: a Banksy's mural, the only piece of this famous street artist in Italy.
