What to expect

Step into the heart of Naples and get ready for a city brimming with life, colour, and flavour. This walking tour blends deep-rooted history with flavour-packed street food, giving you a true taste of Neapolitan culture. You'll begin your tour in the historic centre, strolling past the Royal Palace and the church of San Francesco di Paola in Piazza del Plebiscito. From there, you'll wander through the elegant Galleria Umberto I, and catch a glimpse of Europe's oldest opera house, before diving into the buzz of the Pignasecca street market.

Next, we'll head down Spaccanapoli – the street that slices Naples in two. As you stroll past the timeworn churches and crumbling palaces, you'll get to sample some Neapolitan classics – cuoppo di frittura, a paper cone full of fried bites, and pizza fritta, pizza dough that's deep-fried instead of baked. It's crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and typically filled with tasty ingredients before being sealed and fried like a calzone.

Then, you'll tuck into some sweet treats – sfogliatelle and babà, two classic Neapolitan pastries that are impossible to resist. You'll also stop off at Via Toledo Metro station, home to colourful mosaics and murals. It's part of the city's 'Art Stations' initiative, where international artists and architects have transformed metro stations into immersive art spaces.

Nat Geo Day Tour: En fördjupad inblick i det antika romerska livet: Oplontis villor och Pompeji

Vi börjar med en kort biltur till foten av Vesuvius och ruinerna av Pompeji, en antik stad som bevarats av vulkanutbrottet. Vandra längs kullerstensgator till Forum, som en gång var navet i det romerska livet. Följ antika stigar till storslagna utrymmen som Faunens hus med sina rika mosaiker. Sitt på teaterns arena och studera basilikans kolossala pelare. Du kommer också att besöka områden med vardagsliv som bad och tavernor. Ditt sista stopp på denna plats blir Casa della Regina Carolina, ett av den antika stadens största hem som ligger i ett elitkvarter nära Forum. Du får inblick i den pågående forskningen som startades av National Geographic Explorer Caitlin Ellis Barret när du upptäcker huset och de dagliga hushållsaktiviteterna för dess välbärgade invånare. Efter en lätt lunch fortsätter resan till hamnen i Torre Annunziata, där du kommer ner under gatunivån till forntida Oplontis. Området och dess två vidsträckta villor finns med på UNESCO:s världsarvslista och har några av de bäst bevarade väggmålningarna från den romerska perioden. Din specialiserade arkeologiska guide kommer att erbjuda historiska, kulturella och arkitektoniska sammanhang när du tar in Oplontis underverk. Här bodde en gång den romerska eliten och du kan beundra fresker och mosaiker i pompejansk stil, målade i djupa azurfärger, apelsiner och soliga guldfärger. Den invecklade användningen av färg och skuggning ger dessa målningar en tredimensionell känsla och ger en verklighetstrogen kvalitet till dessa antika scener.

Guided evening tour of Amalfi and Cetara’s signature sights with transfers

Keen to visit some of the most popular spots around the Amalfi Coast without having to deal with huge crowds? Look no further. This evening guided tour to the town of Amalfi and the out-of-the-way village of Catera has been specifically designed to dodge the tourists, giving you a more relaxed look at some of the area's main attractions. Matteo, one of our expert local guides, says “you won't miss out on any of the detail during the tour. You'll get an up-close look at lots of different landmarks, just without having to jostle shoulders or stand on your tiptoes to get a good view.”This tour kicks off with a scenic drive along the coast to the town of Amalfi. The seafront roads in this part of Italy are often considered some of the prettiest in the world, so keep your camera pointed out the window during this bit. When you arrive in Amalfi, you'll follow your guide around the preserved Arsenele della Repubblica. This 1,000-year-old shipyard was originally used to fix galleons and other kinds of boats, but today it's one of the town's top museums. When you're done wandering around its exhibits, you'll have some free time to explore the town on your own.When you're finished in Amalfi, you'll hop on a ferry for a 40-minute journey to the village of Cetara. Very few tours in this part of Italy stop here, so you'll be one of the few who'll get to see its pastel-painted houses and Roman-era landmarks up close. Plus, given the time of evening you'll visit, you can expect a super-relaxed atmosphere, courtesy of the pretty light levels at sunset. You'll have some free time to explore or relax on the sandy beach. The village is particularly famous for its seafood, especially anchovy sauce – ancient Romans settlers came up with the recipe. You'll want to dip into one of the restaurants and try some before hopping on the coach back to your accommodation.
