The good naples bus tours sell their front seats first and the great ones sell out entirely. Below: the 13 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Use a 24-hour Naples bus pass on two routes covering the historic center, port, waterfront, and Posillipo hills. Ride with multilingual audio, hop off for pizza or sights, then continue at your own pace. The full loops take about 45 and 70 minutes.
“good value, we saw a lot of the city where just walking around we wouldn't have been able to.”
Travel from Naples to Capri by hydrofoil, then explore Anacapri, Capri’s Piazzetta, Augustus Gardens, and the Faraglioni views with a guide. Guides such as Gabriel, Giusy, Nancy, and Giovanni have been praised for keeping the day clear, cheerful, and on schedule. Free time is included, but lunch and optional boat trips cost extra.
“Great tour, very well organized! Transportation was easy and timely. The guide Nancy (well, her English version of the name) gave us plenty of information, clear instructions and was always there when we needed. Capri was beautiful, the tour was well planned with plenty of time in each stop. Augustus Gardens were spectacular. If you are going for the first time, I highly recommend this tour.”

“Simplesmente, não conseguimos pegar o onibus. Os pontos de encontro são muito vagos e nos deslocamos p dois e os onibus passavam e não paravam. Ligamos p o suporte da empresa de turismo, não atenderam. Falamos com a VIATUR que, prontamente nos atendeu e tentei resolver, sem sucesso. Pedi estorno do valor pago e peguei o onibus com outra empresa.”

“De dag van onze aankomst, kregen we de vraag om de tour te herzetten, wat niet ging. De dag daarna, moesten we het dubbel betalen, om alsnog de geplande tour te mogen meedoen, of we waren ons geld kwijt. Dus reeds op voorhand betaald en ter plaatse nog eens...”
Use a 24-hour ticket on Naples’ Red and Blue bus lines, covering the historic center and waterfront, then enter Sant’Anna dei Lombardi with your voucher. The church features Guido Mazzoni’s Lamentation, Renaissance sculptures, Vasari’s frescoed sacristy, and a youthful Michelangelo work.
