Full-day in Naples. You will start with a guided tour of the town: historic center including Spaccanapoli, which is a long, narrow street that cuts through the historic center of Naples, Italy, named because it appears to "split" the city in two when viewed from above. It follows the path of the ancient Greco-Roman "Decumanus Inferiore" and is a vibrant hub filled with historic churches, palaces, local shops, and restaurants. This iconic street is a UNESCO World Heritage site and offers a vivid glimpse into the city's history and culture.

After having visited the centre, it will be the turn of the Underground, a vast network of ancient tunnels, cisterns, and caves beneath Naples, Italy, originally quarried by the Greeks, later used as Roman aqueducts and then as bomb shelters during WWII, offering visitors a journey through millennia of history, including ruins and underground rivers. 

During the day, there will be also time for a pizza school.
