Anyone who has been sightseeing with children dreads the long queues. Children are bored waiting to see places and artefacts they don’t understand anything about. Well….this tour is different. It focuses on the children and with privileged, reserved admission to historic sites there is no waiting in line. The guide uses an array of interactive learning tools; pop-up books, iPad games and trivia all specifically designed to explore areas that will stimulate your child’s curiosity.

According to tradition the Greco-Roman roots of Naples go back to the islet of Megaride and the Greek city of Parthenope. The guide will regale the children with tales of Virgil, a magical egg and an enchanted castle. They will visit the oldest opera house in Europe, the famous Teatro di San Carlo. They will walk around the largest square in Naples, the impressive Piazza del Plebescito that houses the majestic Royal Palace and the Church of San Francesco di Paolo.

The guide will tell them stories about the royal families of Naples who lived in the palace and also teach them a little about Neapolitan art, architecture, politics and religion through the ages.

The subjects will be brought to life by the guide and his partner the clever puppet Pulcinella. Always a great favourite of the children, Pulcinella will join then in the interactive learning experience, discovering with them the history of Naples, the delights of the numerous quant shops and marvelling at the magnificent sights.

We realized too late that one day in Naples was not enough. Anyway, the tour with Maria was fantastic and our kids loved it! Susan P. London, UK
