Naples Highlights Tour

Then, a walk on the Toledo shopping road will drive us to the Pignasecca market  where the time  seams being stopped many years ago. Then we’ll stroll in the Old City, starting on the  Spaccanapoli road with its churches, mansions, monuments, nativity cribs manufacturers, pizzarias and, on request,  tasting the worldwide famous napolitain street food.

You can choose a private tour in the tunnels of Napoli Sotterranea , attraction n,1 in Naples  (the subterranean Greek aqueduct  dated 2.400 years ago    https://www.napolisotterranea.org/en/),  that will be unforgettable, then, in the Sansevero Chapel , you should see the veiled Christ, that is one of the most beautiful marble statues in the world.

Jewish Tour

The Naples  Jewish Tour  consists in a walking tour that starts from the present synagogue dated 1864, where clients will be given the history of the 2000 years old Jewish Community of Naples.

The tour will end in the ex-Jewish quarter where Jews used to live until the year 1541, and where  you shall see (from the outside)  two ancient medieval synagogues ( transformed into churches),  that survived the destruction of the medieval quarters of Naples and  a few old houses where Jews used to live.

The ex Jewish quarter and the present Synagogue, are located in two different areas of Naples, therefore the tour will take about two hours if moving by taxi cab or about three hours if performed  by foot.

For  security reasons, the Synagogue visit is subject to a previous booking.    A copy of your passport must be  send, in advance, to our Synagogue security service.

If accompanied by our guide,  the Naples  Synagogue can be visited from Monday to Friday. On Saturday the synagogue is open only to pray, on Sunday the synagogue can be opened  only under special request. While visiting the Synagogue, the Naples Jewish Community will appreciate a free contribution as tzedaqa.
Usually, the Synagogue is closed  in the month of August, therefore a tour must be planned long in advance and cannot be always guaranteed.
