Best Tours & activities in Naples (2026)

Naples rewards a guide more than most cities, because so much of its story is hidden underground, behind closed doors or along the coast. The Galleria Borbonica leads visitors through a 19th-century royal tunnel that later served as a wartime shelter and a dump for cars and scooters, with standard and adventure routes from Friday to Sunday. Book ahead, as reservation is required.

Food is another obvious theme. Eating Europe runs small-group walks, including an evening pizza and drinks tour that starts at Libreria Berisio and a morning street-food tour of the Spanish Quarter. To get out on the water, Kayak Napoli and Trentaremi paddle along the Posillipo coast past Roman ruins, coves and the Gaiola marine reserve, and Trentaremi also guides hikes to the Vesuvius crater and the Path of the Gods. For a quick overview of a large, hilly city, City Sightseeing Napoli's two hop-on hop-off bus lines cover the historic sights and the panoramic routes on one 24-hour ticket. Sea tours depend on the weather, so keep a flexible day in your plans.
