Traveler reviews
Mario was a great guide!...
Mario was a great guide! Appreciated having ear buds to hear him as the street was crowded and loud and we had a large group with us. He provided a lot of interesting information about Naples and answered all our questions. Loved the limoncello and the gelato, the pizza was also delicious (and that's coming from a New Yorker!). I would definitely recommend this tour to others!
Go hungry!!!

Hot, but worth it
