“Best museum in Italy. So many fine pieces from Pompei.”
Skip-the-line guided tour of Naples Archaeological Museum, with Farnese sculptures and Pompeii frescoes and mosaics, in about 2 hours.
“Our guide was absolutely phenomenal. She was very knowledgeable, very passionate and very approachable. I learned so much from her and also felt comfortable to wander off to some paintings that attracted my attention. She took extra time to show us additional exhibitions in the museum. I was very touched by her passion. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone”
Walk Amalfi's vertical lemon terraces, taste organic farm products, learn six-generation farming, visit a rural museum and limoncello lab.

Self-guided Naples National Archaeological Museum tour with offline Itguides audio for 85 highlights, including Hercules and Venus Callipigia.
“Good choice. You receive a digital audio guide on the really complete ITGUIDES app. There is also the recently reopened "Campania Romana" collection and "Magna Grecia" which are not present in the audio guide which is sold at the ticket office and which costs more. Really fast customer service. To be purchased a few days before the visit so you can download it calmly and start studying the museum's collections”
