TOUR n. 23: NAPLES CITY TOUR
 One of our English speaking driving guides will be at your hotel or pick up location with the luxury vehicle that you've selected to begin your tour of Naples.
Neapolis, whose name stems from the Greek language meaning new city, was first established at the base of the Vesuvius by colonial settlers from Greater Greece in the 5th century.
 Located in a strategic position for the domination of the Mediterranean, in 290 B.C., Naples passed under the control of the Romans (who else?) and became an important cultural centre.
Nowadays Naples is still rich in history with buildings, churches and monuments dating back centuries.
During this tour you will be able to visit the National Museum which is the  oldest and most important archaeological museum in Europe.
It contains the archaeological material recovered from Pompeii and Herculaneum, Egyptian objects imported to Italy during the Roman period and other items of excellent prestige such as statues, bronzes, ancient coins, mosaics, mirrors and jewellery
Then you will see the Royal Palace, the Piazza Plebiscito, the Piazza Municipio with its huge medieval castle the "Maschio Angioino" and the San Carlo Opera House and the historical centre.
