Naples is a place that you can visit a half-dozen times and experience a different face each time. Baroque churches, medieval castles, millenary streets lined with magnificent palaces and street food vendors, everything in Naples lives 24/24 under the shadow of the iconic Vesuvius, whose view suddenly fills the space between narrow alleys everytime you get lost while strolling. Protected today as National Park, the Mt. Vesuvius (probably the most dangerous volcano in the world) offers the most stunning view of the Bay of Naples from its crater, reachable at the end of an easy 30 minute hike that let visitors walk along its frightening edge.
Naples is a unique, incredible town, full or Art, History, Music, Culture. A place with strong character as a few towns in the world. Meet your Local Private Driver in the hotel lobby and, together with a car at disposal, begin a Full-Day tour of one of oldest cities in Europe.
As soon as you'll be walking the Old Town you'll be in contact with the many treasures you find on your path: the Royal Palace, Piazza del Gesu' and St. Domenico Squares with their obelisks, Via Tribunali lined with all best pizzerias in Naples (that means in Italy), Plebiscito Square and the Archeological Museum of Naples that contains a large collection of Roman artifacts from Pompeii, Stabiae and Herculaneum. It is considered one of the most important archaeological museum in the world. Your driver will also take you to the waterfront alley, where the oldest of three castles of Naples stays, surrounded by the waves and by many legends about its origins (it's the so called "Egg's Castle").
It's time to jump back on your Private vehicle and leave the city: you will drive East direction and pass through Vesuvius National Park up to
1000 meters, to the top of the only active volcano in continental
Europe. Thanks to an easy hike lasting approximately 30 minutes, you will have the chance to walk around the crater at 1280 meters while gazing at the stunning Bay
of Naples, with the view of the big city on your right hand and, in right in front of you, the three islands of the gulf and the Amalfi Coast.
During the hiking, a local guide (the guide service comes included with the entrance fee) will meet and teach you the history of the volcano and will walk with you around the crater for a while.
