Naples is currently undergoing one of its periodic bouts of notoriety thanks to Roberto Saviano's superb gangster novel Gomorrah and the spinoff film. Mainstream Naples isn't quite that frightening, but one of the focuses of this tour is to give you a feel for this marvellous city and its people without losing your valuables. Among the sights you'll see are the 14th century New Castle--everything's relative--, the Royal Palace, a gorgeous 1890s commercial passage, Naples' charming old town with its so-called Castle of the Egg, the cathedral and the hilltop castle. You'll have the usual option of stopping off at non-tourist bars to get to know the locals.
We can also arrange trips to the ruins of Pompeii and to the beautiful island of Capri--please ask for details.
