- teensywallflower0 contributionsNaples Food Tour with DanielaOur Naples street food tour with a local was such a great experience thanks to our amazing tour guide Daniela. She truly made this tour with her exuberance, love of Naples, knowledge, and infectious personality. We also had someone with a lot of food allergies in the group and she accommodated them with no problem and was able to include them in all of the food tasting. We highly recommend this tour with Daniela.Written July 29, 2024
- robertcO8269RU0 contributionsGreat tour!We had a delightful time at the Archaeological Museum of Naples with our guide, Simone. The tour was impeccably organized and worth every penny, especially following visits to Pompeii and Herculaneum. I highly recommend taking this tour!Written March 18, 2024
- mela5260 contributionsDISAPPOINTED!!!!!Very disappointed as it was cancelled on us by email at 3am. Starting that there was a personal situation with guide. I can be sympathetic to that, however, why not get someone else to do the tour????Written September 26, 2023
- 522gaethanc0 contributionsTerribleBy far the worst walking tour I have been on. Guide had no enthusiasm, no energy and shared no knowledge or stories. She often walked 50m ahead of us.Written July 4, 2023
- KristiB5950 contributionsGo with an expert!Lucia gave us a fabulous tour of the archeological museum. Lucia has a very deep knowledge of the exhibits and a real passion for history. If you’re going to the MANN, book this tour!Written April 26, 2023
- Departure309508118410 contributionsSuper tour!I chose this tour to visit the historical center of Naples and it was a wonderful experience! The historic center is very crowed with tourists and there are many restaurants and pizzerias where you can rest and eat an excellent pizza! The tours lasts two hours and it is a walk through th churches and the main streets of historic center! The church of StPatricia is extraordinary! My tip:wear gym shoes!Written September 6, 2022

- TravelGeno0 contributionsPompeii and Sorrento Private TourAs a travel agent, I've been on many, many tours, and I'm typically hard to please -- But Raphael Tours did an outstanding job for my family of six, especially my 80-plus year old in-laws -- the driver was patient, knowledgeable and efficient, and the private guide through the ruins of Pompeii was truly outstanding -- not only incredibly knowledgeable but also very entertaining -- this was a great day for all of us and we are very appreciative of Raphael's efforts for us.Written December 18, 2019
- pookie1958rjl0 contributionsCapella SanSevero exclusive tourI was at the designated meeting point early, however, my tour guide wasn't there. After waiting 10 minutes AFTER the departure time, I decided to move to the cappella sansevero to try and meet up thinking I had missed the group. 2 blocks away from the departure point, the guide calls me to say he was late and looking for me. I walked back, chewed some ass, and began a solo tour. I was the only one on the tour. Despite the tardiness of the guide, it was a very informative tour. My guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. He let me stop for pictures anywhere I wanted and provided information on the particular place I stopped. He gave me all the time I needed/wanted. Even after my initial anger, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Cappella SanSevero is a place you don't want to miss when you're in Naples. Beautiful story, magnificent statues, and amazing fresco ceiling.Written November 3, 2019

- Julia N0 contributionsPrivate day - Archeological Museum and HerculaneumI booked an all-day tour through Raphael Tours to see the Archaeological Museum and also Herculaneum. My guide, Livio, was very informative and well-versed in the topic, since he'd studied as an Archeologist. The time spent at each location was appropriate. After the Museum, we had lunch (pizza, of course, it was Naples!!) - he took me to a place he had been to often as a young teen, it was excellent! He was equally informative about Herculaneum - I know a lot about Roman history, culture, etc., and he certainly added to my knowledge. I recommend him highly.Written July 10, 2019
- GageST0 contributionsGreat and educative walking tour ... 🙂It was easy walking tour with our great guide who introduced her city in a funny and interesting way ... 😉Written July 3, 2019
- sohaiba6720 contributionsNaples Walking TourI love doing a walking tours to get the lay of the land, understand the history, customs and culture of the city I’m visiting. My tour guide Giainluca was awesome. Spoke clear and fluent English, and is an archeologist. As we went to the historic sites, monuments and churches he gave great information of the history, architectural style, artistic influence, as well as the cultural significance to the city. Great tour to get grounded on some of the 3800 year history of the city. Tour goes through the old city up to the new castle. Would recommend.Written June 14, 2019

Roberta was our tour guide. She did an excellent job. We had a private 3 hour tour of the origin of Naples historic center. Roberta was quite knowledgeable, with excellent English. She was also very kind and considerate. She treated us very nicely and we felt appreciative of the good value for our money.
