Traveler reviews
Great Tour ! very worthwhile!
Our ride was knowledgeable. Kept us moving. Kept it interesting.
Poot communication. They only want your money
Poor communication. Be sure you are contacted by this company well ahead of your tour start time. They will leave without you. No regard for first time visitors. Yes, it does state that in the booking, but we arrived 40 minutes early. 40 minutes.
National Archaeological Museum of Naples
This was a great introduction to the various collections of the museum - with a focus on the artifacts salvaged from Herculaneum and Pompeii, so a perfect companion to touring one or both of these sites. The museum could be overwhelming without a guide to give focus and explain the exhibits, so I strongly recommend doing a tour like this as a first time visitor.
Informative Tour
Enrica M. was very knowledgeable of the history, highlights, sculptures and artifacts in the museum. The group was small enough for personal interaction and questions.
Long live guide Francesca!
Francesca is a very competent guide who explains with great clarity and in good English. She made an excellent selection of works to show us, explained them in an always engaging way, and was generous of her time.
