We just came back from Naples in Italy and we were so glad to get home! The city is an absolute toilet. It's filthy and smelly and the traffic and people are unbelievable. The drivers all think everyone else is telepathic! They never indicate or stop at junctions or traffic lights. Everyone thinks THEY have the right of way, regardless... More

We expected more from Naples, Napoli. We thought the day after public holiday was a better day to enter the castle and churches... However, everything was closed! (So, DO NOT plan to visit Naples the day after public holiday.) According to one of the staff, they need to clean up the place after the public holiday! We were very disappointed.... More

We decided to stay in Naples as our flight back to the US was leaving from there and you can take quick day trips to Pompeii and Sorrento from this location. If that's what you're thinking... don't! I thought the books and friends were exaggerating when they said that Naples was dirty and there wasn't much to see, but they... More

Naples is wonderfully situated on the Bay of Naples in the Adriatic.We visited in late July and the heat was unbelievable. 4o Degrees and more day after day. In many respects this unceasing sunshine was fabulous, but Naples didn't seem to have much shade available to travellers. It was fine to get out of the sun with refreshment stops in... More

I have traveled around the world to include third world countries and Naples is by far the most disgusting place I have ever been. It is telling when you find yourself taking pictures of the garbage piled high on the streets throughout the city. Not only is Naples dirty and littered with trash wherever you look, the traffic there is... More

When our Driver Carmelo greeted us,not only did he talk like Gino De Campo he looked like him too!! The Car had tinted windows, and a bottle of cold water for each of us, was very welcome. Carmelo stopped... More

The selling point for Context Naples is the expertise of their docents and the limits they place on the number of participants in any tour. One feels they are on a private tour for the cost of a large group. They have several tours available so, whatever is your interest, they have an expert who will take you. The fee... More
