What people are saying about Spaccanapoli

First time in Naples, first day. With my husband and 4-year-old son (of those who NEVER stay still and run everywhere!), I booked this guided tour to familiarize myself with the city and to visit the Veiled Christ. We were accompanied by the guide Ivan, a very knowledgeable and very kind boy who, taking advantage of the fact that there were only the 3 of us and another German boy, also showed us and told us details on which he usually fails to dwell on with large groups. Despite the difficulties given by the son mentioned above, thanks to the headset we were able to hear his every explanation and he answered all my questions exhaustively and always with a smile. Our son Daniele really enjoyed the tour, we… more! Thanks Ivan! Loriana and Simone (the Genoese with the laminated "list")

The tour of the historic center of Naples with the final visit of the San Severo chapel was a very positive experience, thanks above all to the preparation, empathy and friendliness of Alessandra, the tour guide. I highly recommend this tour to better discover and appreciate the richness of downtown Naples.

Beautiful tour of the historic center of Naples which culminates in the unique wonder of the San Severo chapel. Ivan was a fantastic guide, capable of explaining the Neapolitan wonders to even the most passionate laymen. Absolutely perfect.

Had an amazing time with Davide. Hw showed us places and introduced us to food we would never try otherwise. Really happy we took this tour and learned more about Napoli and it's food culture.

Very well organized tour; Alessandra (our guide) gave us a lot of information and shared miths, history and facts with the typical Napolitan humour. It ws both fun and informative
