Naples was a main attraction of the 18th century Grand tour, the cultural and social mecca of southern Europe. Its fine palaces and churches and lively city centre with its excellent shops still record those great days.

The highlight of the tour is a guided visit to the famous Archeological Museum where you can admire superb statues, mosaics and other masterpieces recovered from Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis and Cumae.
