Our guide was terrific and shared her favorites including creating a full understanding and appreciation for the region and its history. We had time to meander around the museum after the tour, to realize that she hit all the highlights we loved.

Our guide was excellent, not only was she knowledgeable and engaging but she supported me by leaving my name at the front desk when the trams were cancelled. This left me running late but they were amazing and eased my pathway through to catch up with the main group

Even though my English isn't very good, I was able to understand the tour guide's explanations clearly. She spoke slowly and clearly. Her explanations were well-informed, easy to understand, and entertaining. I'd love to do it again.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Archaeological Museum in Naples, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Vincenzo. He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging throughout the entire tour. He brought history to life with fascinating stories and explanations that made every room and artifact even more impressive. We highly recommend this tour and especially Vincenzo to anyone visiting the museum. An unforgettable experience!

Our tour guide, Francesca, was brilliant! She was engaging and informative. I learned so much and stayed in the museum long after the tour was over due to her wonderful delivery.

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 collection. Wander the galleries and admire the legendary statues of Hercules, and the majestic group called ‘Farnese Bull.’ 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.
