Maria was a phenomenal tour guide, explaining the meaning and history behind the various statues, paintings, and frescoes. I booked this inside three days, and was glad I did! I spent an additional two hours after the tour, so the included entry fee was well worth it.

A very knowledgeable young archaeologist who guided us very skilfully around the huge array of exhibits, giving us invaluable background information on each item. Well worth the money.

The Archeologist Laura or Lara was amazing. I used to live in Napoli in the early 1980's and have visited the Archeology Museum often. However, I truly did not fully appreciate what I had been viewing until this wonderful tour. Lara had a wonderful depth of knowledge and made 79 A.D. come alive. Loved the tour!

Your experience

Discover one of the world’s greatest archaeology museums in Naples, in a small group tour, with the assistance of an expert guide. To the untrained eye, it is difficult to interpret the vast collection present at the National Archeological Museum of Naples.

Learn about the art and culture of the ancient world as your archaeologist guide takes you through Greek and Roman sculptures, frescoes, mosaics, and artifacts. Your guide will also provide insights into the treasures uncovered at Herculaneum and Pompeii; the Farnese Collection; and the Gabinetto Segreto.

Enter the museum and be enchanted by the grandeur of the marble and statues in the Farnese’s collection. Wander the galleries and admire the legendary statues of Hercules, and the majestic group called ‘Tour Farnese.’ Marvel at the mosaic of Alexander the Great as you walk through the rooms and corridors of the museum. See silvers from the House of Menandro in Pompeii and a number of Roman frescoes excavated from the Vesuvian area.
