Naples is a mixture of colors and perfumes. Visitors are enchanted by the warmth of its people and the sounds of daily life; Naples’ life unfolds slowly and simply, but in a charming way.

Walk down the street of Spaccanapoli where you can admire the beauty of its buildings and old churches in different architectural styles, aligned along picturesque streets.

The tour grants access to the Sansevero Chapel, home to the renowned Veiled Christ, and the majestic Santa Chiara Complex, celebrated for its stunning majolica-adorned cloister.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
The best of dowtown in Naples
2.
The meeting point is the tourist information office in front of the Entrance of Church of Gesù Nuovo. In “Piazza del Gesù” there’s a plaque put up by the Unesco to mark the fact that the historical center of Naples is included in the World Heritage sites list and is considered as one of the most ancient and richest historical centers in Europe.
3.
Visit the Church of the monastery of Saint Chiara dating back the 14th century. It was made in Gothic style but during the 18th century decorated in a Baroque style that gives the church its look of opulence and splendor
4.
Visit one of the most beautiful Church in Naples dated to XVI century
5.
In the center of the city there is a famous old street called “Spaccanapoli”, a long and narrow street that divides the old Naples in two perfect halfs. It consists of many shops, restaurants and typical alleys.
6.
Visit the famous Santa Chiara Cloister with the celebrated majolica artwork. On Sunday afternoon, the cloister is closed, so you can book the option including only the entrance to Sansevero Chapel
7.
Have a look to Piazza St. Gaetano, the oldest square of the city. “Agorà” was situated here in Greek times. In Roman times this place was taken by a forum. Around it are located two magnificent monumental churches of Naples: San Lorenzo and San Paolo Maggiore.
8.
Further down the "Spaccanapoli" street we will see San Domenico Maggiore square, with its Church, where a perfect overlapping of different architectural styles will certainly amaze you.
9.
During the tour customers will be impressed by the absolute pearl of Naples, famous Chapel San Severo featuring the statue “Cristo Velato” by Giuseppe Sanmartino. This marble statue is a masterpiece of the 18th century representing dead Christ covered by a veil. Legend has it that an alchemist taught the sculptor how to convert real veil into a marble veil.
10.
It was the main decumanus or Decumanus Maggiore of the ancient Greek and then Roman city of Neapolis.
11.
Walking in Spaccanapoli you will see the famous Statue of the God of Nile river is an Ancient Roman, likely Hellenistic, marble statue dating from the 2nd to 3rd century A.C. Have a small break enjoing a typical neapolitan coffee in one of the famous bar of the old city centre.
12.
Proceed along the little side street called “San Gregorio Armeno”. It is today one of the most famous streets of the city, visited by people from every part of the world for its unique nativity scene workshops.
13.
The baroque cathedral of Saint Gennaro dating back to the 13th century is at the heart of the Neapolitan faith. Here the blood of the saint patron St. Gennaro is preserved. It becomes liquid during the so-called “Miracle of St. Gennaro”. This explains why all citizens show deep devotion towards this church.

Abbiamo fatto visita guidata di due ore e mezza con Francesco Longobardi... ottima guida che con professionalità, conoscenza, bravura ed empatia ci ha condotto in un "viaggio" davvero entusiasmante. Dalla Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo, al meraviglioso chiostro di Santa Chiara, nel folclore di Spaccanapoli, alla Cappella Sansevero col meraviglioso capolavoro del Cristo Velato, fino a concludere con la Cattedrale e la cappella di San Gennaro!! Esperienza consigliata! Complimenti

Nice visit to the most interesting places in central Naples, lasting about 2 and a half hours, with a friendly and very knowledgeable guide. The only flaw, like others, we paid in advance, while at the last minute a couple arrived who knew well that paying last minute was a very advantageous price, saving a lot, because the original ticket was 48 Euros, while they paid only 28. So if you have to do the visit, you're better off paying at the last minute, same treatment but with considerable savings.

Thanks to Francisco who shared with us his love for his city of Naples. We learned a lot of things from a cultural, artistic, historical and social point of view... Francisco is an excellent guide and we didn't miss the time of the visit because it was so interesting. Without him we would have missed out on wonders. Thanks also for the Neapolitan coffee tasting lesson. Visit on 26/5/2024

Tour done on May 22nd led by Carlo Zarone. All extremely interesting and complete. Managed with the right pace, professionally and with absolute knowledge by Carlo who was also able to give us moments of relaxation with absolute mastery. Having to repeat this type of experience in the Naples area, I would choose Askos again, perhaps aiming for a personalized tour for couples managed by Carlo to whom I extend my most sincere compliments for the competence and naturalness with which I got to know historical and artistic aspects of how much visited. Thanks Carlo!!

Every time we return to Naples we go to see the veiled Christ because it is unique in the world. Besides the beauty, the entire chapel of San Severo is worth it. Excellent organization.
