Architecture Tours
Our architecture tours celebrate great buildings as monuments and as dwelling-spaces, as works of engineering and works of art, and as vital components in a city’s mythos. Some tours follow particular themes, or even single architects, others survey a broader range of buildings, the best that the region has to offer. All our small-group tours are led by expert lecturers, chosen for their companionability and communication skills as well as their scholarship.

- Selects the best of the art, architecture and antiquities in Naples.

TESTIMONIALS
This was probably the best organised and most enjoyable holiday I have experienced.
We appreciated the way the lecturer took time to get to know everyone and deal with questions and particular interests.A good balance between free time, sightseeing and lectures. I particularly enjoyed the chance to see Handel’s birthplace.
