Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Excellent walking experience through the old historic section. Raffaele entertained while educating us with local history, architecture and local folklore. Raffaele pointed out places of interest we may return to explore and offered suggestions on where to buy the best pizza. Who could ask for anything more."
"We had a short time in Naples, and Raffaele knowledge of the area and capabilities made the time go fast and we saw a lot of Naples in that short time. Totally recommend him to anyone visiting Naples"
"Raffaelle was absolutely fantastic! He was punctual and spoke fluent English. This was the best private tour we ever had. We could see how dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate he is about his city and his people. Yes, he is an archeologist from the depths of his soul, that shines right through!! Couldn’t pick anyone better ! We love Italy and now we love Naples with everything that comes with it. Hope to see you soon again in Naples to learn even more about the city and see our new friend Raffaele! Grazie mille Raffaele Ciao Doug and Nora "
"Raffaele was great!! He communicated before the tour on where to meet and gave an excellent tour. He was so knowledgeable about Napoli and all the history and his passion for the city was wonderful. He showed us many things around the city that we surely would have missed on our own and gave us recommendations for other things to consider during our stay. "

Behold the masterpiece at the heart of the Sansevero Chapel: the Veiled Christ. Sculpted by Giuseppe Sanmartino, the marble veil is so realistic it was rumored to be created through alchemy.
The Sansevero Chapel owes its splendor to Raimondo di Sangro, an 18th-century prince, inventor, and alchemist. He personally directed the chapel's artistic program, filling it with Masonic symbolism.
In the chapel's crypt lie the Anatomical Machines, two skeletons with astonishingly detailed circulatory systems. Their creation is a mystery that fuels legends about the Sansevero Chapel to this day.
The Sansevero Chapel is a pinnacle of Baroque art. Each sculpture, from Disillusion to Modesty, tells a story of virtue and genius, making it a cultural treasure trove in the heart of Naples.

"I took Raffaele for a 3 hours tour on my one day trip to Napoli from Rome and he made me fell in love with the city. He is an archeologist, very knowledgeable of the city's history and as such gives you a great perspective of what there was and there is today, showing many places I wouldn't have noticed otherwise . As I was not familiar with the city and had only one day, he came to the train station to meet me and made my life easier. I highly recommend him to anyone who is visiting the city whether it's for one day or more. "
"We had the best time on this tour. Raffaele is a real expert and is passionate about the rich history of Napoli. He adapted the tour based on our interests and without him we would have missed out on some of the most interesting parts of the city’s history. He gave us a great recommendation for lunch and other ideas for our very short stay in Napoli. If you book a tour with Raffaele you will not be disappointed"
"Raffaele was punctual, accommodating, knowledgeable and most considerate. The fact that he is good looking and charming, is also a big PLUS. We met at the designated spot and he told us all about Naples - the Naples that we would not have "seen", had he not pointed it out to us. I highly recommend him and will consider him a friend here in Naples. "
"Raffaele listened carefully to my interests and customized my tour- on the fly- to fit me perfectly. He offered helpful advice on how to see the most in the time we had together and offered a stellar commentary on the sights and history. I previously prepared for the tour with on-line seminars and this was not my first trip to Naples, but I learned so much from him, it was amazing! I enjoyed him personally as well, he is a very cool guy who cares deeply about his heritage and his city. At the end of the tour, he helped me find a wonderful shop where I could get a presepe shipped home - he stayed with me and translated until he was sure I was Ok. What a sweetheart, and what a great guide! I will definitely engage his services again the next time I am in Naples!! "
"My wife and I were with Raffaele for a 3-hour tour of old-town Naples and a day-long tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum. We have had guides in many cities around the world over the years. Raffaele is now number 1 on the list. An archaeologist with very strong historical knowledge as well, he knows everything, and has the enthusiasm of someone who's doing his first tour. And he wears very well--we were together for a lot of hours, and were still sorry to say goodbye. "
"Our guide, Raffaele, was amazing. He spoke with so much knowelege and passionabout his home of Naples. He took us to places we would have never seen withouth his guidance. He showed us inderground cripts, inside churches, we saw skulls and leant about Naples history of creating saints. We saw Diego Maradona's lock of hair, had an amazing coffee, say kids playng soccar with a plastic bottle, learnt about paper mache figurines. Thers was so much more. Raffaele walked the streets and introduced us to Naples and its shop keepers too, they all knew him and in the end we felt like we knew the city much better. I would do this or any other tour with Raffaele and cant recommend highly enough. Thankyou, Thankyou, Grazie! Ciao."
