Our guide, Alessandro, was very friendly, professional and well informed about the history of Naples. He spent a great deal of time taking us through various areas of Naples including the historic, Spanish, waterfront and shopping areas.
Thank you very much
I have had wonderful experiences using the Guide Centre several visits over the past 12 years . Luciano has guided my sister and I on many fantastic sites. Every single visit has been perfect and we learned so much . From Paestum, many places around the Bay of Naples and of course so many treasures of Naples, Cumae , Solfataras volcano and Pompei and Herculaneum etc etc The list goes on and when the US travel ban is lifted I hope to return . We have been very appreciative of the professional and so enjoyable experiences they provided
I was in Sorrento in February eith my husband just before Covid19 and had a guided tour on Capri and in Naples. I have also visited Sorrento many times before and used Giude Centre's services every time. I can warmly recommend! Great cervice and excellent guides!
