Tours start from €65 per person with licensed local guides who know every alley, every pizzeria and every hidden fresco.

About our boat tours

Naples food tours are the headline attraction for most first-time visitors. The city invented pizza and takes extraordinary pride in it — a Neapolitan pizzaiolo's art form has been recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Our guided food tours lead you through the Spaccanapoli quarter stopping at historic pizzerias, fried-food stalls selling pizza fritta and cuoppo, pastry shops producing sfogliatella and pastiera, and espresso bars where the coffee is pulled as thick as syrup. From €65 per person, these three-hour experiences deliver more flavour than a week of restaurant dinners. Browse all tours for times and inclusions.

The historic centre of Naples — its centro storico — is one of the most densely layered urban environments in the world. Layers of Greek, Roman, Norman, Aragonese, Spanish and Bourbon Naples overlap in a single city block. A guided walking tour of the centro storico covers the underground Neapolis tunnels (Greek and Roman ruins beneath the modern streets), the Sansevero Chapel with the extraordinary Veiled Christ sculpture, the Cathedral of Naples and the cloister of Santa Chiara. Guided tours last two to three hours and depart daily.

Pompeii day trips from Naples are the most popular excursion in Campania. The ancient Roman city destroyed by Vesuvius in 79 AD is only 30 minutes by Circumvesuviana train from Naples, making it a natural pairing. BlueKeys arranges guided Pompeii tours with skip-the-line tickets and archaeologist guides, departing from Naples Centrale or Sorrento. Add a Vesuvius hike to your Pompeii day for a full volcanic experience — the crater walk offers views across the entire Bay of Naples on clear days.

Street art and underground Naples reveal a side of the city that package tours miss entirely. The Quartieri Spagnoli (Spanish Quarter) is a living gallery of murals, with tributes to Maradona, Sophia Loren and local political art covering every available surface. Beneath the city, over 400 km of tunnels, cisterns and Roman quarries create an underground world accessible on specialist small-group tours. BlueKeys partners with licensed spelunking guides for tours that are genuinely unlike anything else in Italy.

Day trips from Naples extend the experience beyond the city. The Amalfi Coast is reachable in 90 minutes by car transfer — or join one of our Amalfi Coast tours that depart from Naples directly. Capri, Ischia and Procida are all accessible by ferry from the Beverello port. Caserta's Royal Palace — a UNESCO site nicknamed the Italian Versailles — is 40 minutes by train. Our concierge team designs bespoke day itineraries combining multiple stops for any group size.

Practical tips for Naples tours: book food tours at least 48 hours ahead as group sizes are capped for quality. The centro storico is best explored in the morning before the heat and the crowds. If you are combining a Naples visit with an Amalfi Coast stay, consider a private transfer rather than the public train — it is more comfortable and allows door-to-door routing with luggage. BlueKeys private transfers operate 24/7. For accommodation, see our Naples stays or base yourself along the coast and day-trip in.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much do Naples tours cost?

Naples food tours start from €65 per person for a 3-hour guided walk through the street food highlights of Spaccanapoli. Historic centre walking tours are €55–€75 per person. Full-day excursions combining Naples, Pompeii and Vesuvius range from €95 to €150 per person, including transfers and skip-the-line tickets.

What is the best Naples food tour?

The most popular food tour covers the centro storico and Spaccanapoli: pizza fritta at a legendary street stall, fresh sfogliatella at a Bourbon-era pastry shop, cuoppo (fried seafood and vegetables), and a sit-down pizza at a historic pizzeria. Tours depart at 11:00 and 17:00 daily. Vegetarian and gluten-free versions are available on request.

Is Naples safe for tourists?

Naples is a vibrant, welcoming city and the vast majority of visitors have a great experience. The usual urban precautions apply: keep bags close in crowded areas, use licensed taxis or private transfers rather than unmarked cars, and follow your guide's advice on which neighbourhoods to explore independently. All BlueKeys guides are local professionals who know how to ensure a smooth, enjoyable visit.

Can I do a day trip to Naples from the Amalfi Coast?

Absolutely. Naples is 90 minutes to 2 hours from Sorrento or Positano by private transfer, or 70 minutes by Circumvesuviana train from Sorrento. We recommend combining a Naples food tour in the morning with a visit to the National Archaeological Museum (which holds the finest collection of Pompeii artefacts) in the afternoon. Our drivers can arrange a full day including both stops.

What is the best time to visit Naples?

April to June and September to October offer the best weather — warm, manageable crowds and the city at its most beautiful. July and August are hot and busy but the evening passeggiata along the seafront is magical. December is surprisingly festive with the Christmas presepistica markets in the centro storico.

Is a Pompeii day trip included in Naples tours?

Pompeii day trips can be added to any Naples visit. BlueKeys offers combined Naples + Pompeii full-day packages that include a morning in the city, a private transfer to Pompeii, skip-the-line entry with an archaeologist guide, and return to Naples or onward to Sorrento. Book this combination at least 48 hours in advance.

What are the must-see sights in Naples beyond food?

The Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel is one of the most astonishing sculptures in the world — book tickets in advance as daily numbers are capped. The National Archaeological Museum houses the finest collection of Roman artefacts including the Secret Room of erotic art from Pompeii. The Certosa di San Martino on the Vomero hill offers the best panoramic view of the Bay of Naples. The underground Greek-Roman ruins beneath Piazza San Gaetano are extraordinary.
