We participated in the 3 hour walking tour of Naples. Our guide was Paola and she was fantastic. Paola was knowledgeable about the area and provided many personal culture references. She was easy to follow and understand. Plus she was accommodating to those who had to leave early and gave us restaurant recommendations after the tour was over. We would highly recommend this tour.

Paola was a fantastic guide. A very informative and entertaining tour. Even the rain didn’t dampen our spirits.
People make the experience, and Josephine was exceptional. She was our guide on a walk around Naples in very poor weather, with heavy rain. The conditions made it difficult to enjoy the city fully, but she still made sure the tour went ahead. She was extremely knowledgeable, having studied , and her English was excellent.
Paola was a wonderful guide. She was knowledgeable, fun and very interesting. Being born and bred in Naples she made the tour quite personal which was a real bonus. Would definitely recommend this tour. I feel like I know so much more about Naples than I did before this experience
Exceptional tour. Poula’s infectious enthusiasm and knowledge for the history of Naples made the 3hrs wizz by and we didn’t want the tour to end. We learnt so much. The tour set the bar extremely high on what to expect for a orientation to a new city
paulo was exceptional. We had the most informative but also fun morning. We learnt so much about Naples and simply didn’t want the tour to end.
We had a wonderful experience with Marfalda, our guide who was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to get an overview of the history and geography of downtown Naples.
3 hours walking through Old Naples. Our guide Mary was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We enjoyed this tour very much.
Excellent tour with Paula. Lots of interesting places to discover in Naples and Paula really brought it all to life. A highly recommended tour
Excellent tour that provided a great insight into Napoli and it's culture. Paola showed vast knowledge of Napoli and her enthusiasm added to the entire tour.
Vincenzo was very friendly and welcoming. He was very knowledgeable about the city. My grandmother was with us and had to take a bit of extra time in places and he was very accommodating. He stayed extra time with us to help find a place to eat and give other recommendations. You get to experience historic and newer areas.
Great tour with Francesco. We wondered if 3 hours would be too much in the heat but Francesco ensured we kept cool and entertained at all times. He drilled down into so many fascinating insights of the city but always with warmth and humour. We all loved him!
We had a fantastic tour with Francesco. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Naples, and such fun. The tour covered so much that we would never have found by ourselves. Highly recommended!!
Good to learn about Naples history, but this tour lacks visiting the main attractions. As a suggestion, try and visit the subterranean Naples instead.
Andreas our guide was friendly, thorough and informative. It was an excellent tour to see the best of Naples
Watch out for the cars and motorbikes! The walking tour of Naples was a fun and essential experience. I love learning the history of an ancient city from a local guide. However, as you wander and look at the architecture, you better look out for the traffic, as well. The streets of Naples are very narrow and filled with pedestrian traffic, even in the off-season, but the local drivers don't seem to mind the crowd as they race through these lanes, barely missing their human targets...somehow. I will admit that I did not witness a single accident, but there were probably some soiled undergarments as tourists scrambled out of the way of the occasional flash of a motorcycle. And I was in a taxi as it moved through a crowded street, the human mass moving around it as if they were a single fluid object. So when you go, hang on to the kids and stay alert for the motorized dangers as you play this Human version of "Frogger". The truth is, the danger made the tour a little more interesting.
Thank you to Francesco for a wonderful tour, and to Miguel for finding me and connecting me to the tour. I very much enjoyed the tour and appreciated everyone’s extra efforts to include me!
Fabulous guide. Brought historic Naples to life with his knowledge , good humour and enthusiasm.
Andrea was absolutely amazing for the two days we had him, we thoroughly enjoyed him and learned a lot. He was very in tune with each member of our family and catered to each of our every needs! All of the drivers were great. Overall, you organized a fantastic journey for us through the Napoli region! Thank you!
We spent a couple of days in Naples and we decided to book the 3 hour walking tour through Naple and it was the best idea ever. Our guide Manuela, a typical Neapolitan woman who is beautiful, sociable, cheerful, friendly, and above all very knowledgeable, showed us all the most beautiful and characteristic sights to see when visiting Naples. We made the most of the three hours available to us in a very relaxed and enjoyable way, and I would definitely recommend her.
Manuela’s knowledge of what we were seeing was deep. In addition she shared local customs and information about her own life. A plus was Manuela’s warm and joyful personality. After traveling for many years on our own, for the last sixteen years we have taken tours and additionally add on tour to our tours. We have never had a better private guide than Manuela.
As a solo female traveler in Naples Italy, I wanted a safe, interesting guide to the city. My guide Federica, through Mondo Guide Private Day Tours, recommended by Rick Steves' ITALY book, was fantastic! Federica was delightful, knowledgeable, flexible. She tailored my walking tour of Naples to include the areas that I requested. She matched my level of activity, and we had a wonderful hike up the hills to an amazing viewpoint of Naples , then back thru the narrow alleys of the Spanish Quarter. During our tour, she shared many insights into Southern Italian culture and food- because she is a local native of Naples! I highly recommend this tour company, and especially Federica, when you are traveling to Naples!
Mafalda was full of interesting information about the historical area of Naples. She is very energetic and communicates in excellent English.
Andre was a very thorough guide, seemingly showing us ALL of Naples in our walking tour. We admired his knowledge and stamina to conduct two extensive tours in one day!
Francesco was superb! We enjoyed our tour and his love for Naples history and architecture was contagious! Also, his knowledge of many subjects was impressive and he was fun to spend an afternoon with! We will gladly recommend your organization to friends and family visiting Bella Napoli!
We truly enjoyed our walking tour of Naples with Mafalda! We’ve done many excursions throughout southern Europe, and this one ranks at the top! First, Naples itself is such a fascinating place – from its history to its food, culture and art – and Mafalda showed and explained many facets of it that we probably would not have discovered on our own. Also, the pace of the tour was just right. We even had time to explore a neighborhood on our own after Mafalda gave some recommendations. Very helpful and enthusiastic!
We had an excellent tour with Francesco! He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and really brought Napoli’s history and architecture to life. We left with a much deeper appreciation of the city, and would recommend adding this to a trip to the Amalfi coast.
The guide was on time. She set a reasonable pace. The age range 16-73. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Very enthusiastic.
We felt a true connection with Francesco. His knowledge of history and his kindness made him a wonderful tour guide. But really it was our shared sense of humor, isn’t that right Francis, or is it Francisco? Our suggestion: hire him and walk with him. You will have an amazing time and learn so much about the old town, from its art to its architecture to its culture.
Guided tour around Naples was great. Francesco made the highlights interesting and fun. Naples is an interesting city and even more so with Francesco at the tour guide.
Our walking tour of Naples with Francesco was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we met, Francesco’s enthusiasm for his city was contagious. He didn’t just show us the highlights; he brought Naples to life with stories and history. What really made the experience stand out, though, was Francesco’s personal touch. He was engaging, fun, has a great sense of humor and made sure we felt like we were not just tourists but part of the Neapolitan way of life. Highly recommend!
This was a really interesting tour - learning about the history of Naples with a good dose of humour 👍
We booked a full day tour with Mondo Tours where we took the early train from Florence, then were met at the train station by driver Michele and tour guide Andrea. First we went to the Archaelogical Museum where Andrea whisked us to the highlights and put everything in context. After that, we got Neapolitan pizza. After finishing that we went on our walking tour where we saw several cathedral including Naples Cathedral. We also learned about Maradona, stopped for dessert, stopped for coffee, and then went on a boat tour where we saw Naples from the water and were able to swim. After that, Michele took us to where we were staying that night in Sorrento. Both Michele and Andrea were very personal and helpful and helped us get the most out of our jam-packed day in a friendly, relaxed, efficient way.
This was a very good walking tour of Naples and our guide, Francesco, gave us so much information on the history of Naples. He especially concentrated on the Greek history and I really enjoyed that. This tour left from the Archaeological Museum which was convenient if you wanted to spend time in the museum before the tour. We would recommend this walking tour for a great history overview of Naples.
We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Francesco. He was very informative and had shared the history of early Naples with good will and humour. We covered an amazing amount of ground and he took us to places we would not have seen on our own. It helped us understand this vibrant city. I would highly recommend Francesco and Mondo Guide Shared Tours
We very much enjoyed our tour with Francesco. We had many interesting conversations and he never grew tired of the many questions we asked. In fact, we had such a good time, we spent another hour after the end of the tour discussing Italian life and politics with Francesco. We not only learned about the interesting history and architecture of Naples, but we learned about the peoples of Naples and more generally of Italy. It was a great extra and we all had an enjoyable time, including (I think) Francesco.
My wife and I really enjoyed the tour! Francisco's depth of knowledge about Naples' history, geography and architecture was really impressive. He was really engaging, informative, and humorous. We had a great time.
This our turned out to be much more than I expected. Naples can be overwhelming, and a challenge to see beyond everything that’s going on around you. Francesco’s knowledge of the city, combined with his immense understanding of history and archeology, provided us with a deep context and insight into an amazing and unique city.
This is our second time visiting Italy and working with Vincenzo Pauciullo from Mondo Guide. This business and Vincenzo himself truly care about their clients and they have a great love for their country which shows through all of their incredible guides, drivers and staff. Seriously everyone we met has been amazing and we love them so much. We’ve toured Pompeii and Naples with Serena, Erculano and Vesuvius with Andrea, Capri with the younger Andrea 😜, the Naples city center with Luca, and the Amalfi Coast and Florence with some of their best drivers! We put all of our trust in them and they delivered on making every experience a 10 out of 10 stars. The customer service and personal attention we received is so rare. This is a very special company, and I’ve already recommended them to many of my friends who have also visited Italy or are currently planning trips. We hope to come back again and continue to have them help us experience our favorite country again next year, and hopefully a Napoli soccer game too 🤣⚽️🤣⚽️
Naples is an amazing city and Francesco is an amazingly knowledgeable guide . My sole regret is that I did not take his advice and do the two underground tours of Naples but thats for next time
My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much. It was the highlight of our trip to Napoli. Francesco was very engaging and knowledgeable about the people and history of Napoli. He made the city come alive. Francesco is very passionate about his city, but also honest about some of the difficulties the city faces. A balanced view that was much appreciated. He was fun and funny. The pace was good for us, and we had a wonderful time! Highly recommended.
My family had a great time learning about the history of Naples with Francesco. The company was also great at helping us tailor our tour to the walking abilities of my family.
To say we enjoyed was an understatement. Francesco was fantastic, his knowledge, intelligence and wonderful manner made our day in Napoli unforgettable. Anyone wanting to see and feel Napoli should spend the time with him. Thank you for assigning him to us.
Francesco was wonderful and full of information, easy to understand and takes his time to explain relevant information. We love the tour and would recommend.
Luca was among amazing tour guide! I enjoyed the tour very much. Especially the way he connected the art work and architecture to the history of Naples.
I didn't realize how much I didn't know about Naples before this tour. Our guide, Luca, had an amazing depth of knowledge and an entertaining presentation. Well worth it!
We loved Francesco!!! We’ve been on many tours and he is our favorite so far. He loves his city but can also see the city through others eyes. Francesco made it possible to take some of the rough edges off. In addition, he was very open to helping us find a good restaurant for dinner. (Also the best pizza we have had in Italy.) I would hire him to accompany us every day if we could.
My daughter and I took a tour of Naples with the fabulous Francesco! He escorted us around the city and entertained us with his wealth of knowledge. Francesco was very accommodating, kind, and fun! He made our quick visit to Naples an outstanding experience. It will be a day we will always remember. Francesco, thank you, you are the BEST!
Luca was great guide who had a depth of knowledge beyond anything you can imagine which he was able to convey clearly.
My husband and I enjoyed immensely our three-hour historic Naples tour with Andrea. On a previous trip to Naples with my sister in 2022, he was our private guide at Pompeii, so I have now had two opportunities to benefit from his expertise. He is very knowledgeable and is clearly proud of his city and its rich history. He also has a unique sense of humor! We appreciated that he asked at the outset about our objectives for the tour, and he definitely met and exceeded our hopes. We thank Mondo Guides and Andrea for helping us to enjoy and appreciate this amazing city.
