We added a couple of optional activities beyond San Gregorio Armeno and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Path of the Gods guided hike alone was worth the trip, but combined with Naples National Archaeological Museum this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Booked this as a group trip and it was well paced. Certosa e Museo di San Martino in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Everything was handled for us — flights, hotel, transfers, and tours to San Gregorio Armeno and Naples Underground (Napoli Sotterranea). Great communication from the consultant before departure too.
