Se si va a Napoli per la cultura, non si può non pensare a prendere questo Pass. In 3 giorni sono riuscito a vedere Pompei, il Palazzo Reale di Napoli, Ercolano, la Reggia di Caserta, il MAN ed il museo Capodimonte. È stata una bellissima esperienza. Assolutamente consigliato se si ha voglia di girare e non fermarsi mai!

Rafaelle was fabulous . Very insightful, knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly and he loved to share his intellect with you. This was a great tour, very informative and loved it.

We opted for a private guided tour. The Reggia is wonderful and the competence and professionalism of the guide, Prof.sa Tonia, made everything extremely pleasant.

Perfect organization despite being on September 22, the feast of San Gennaro. Punctual both on departure and on return. Very comfortable journey!

Lovely guide … Gilda. She was very knowledgeable and had a great way of explaining history.
