Short and great trip for your charm and companionship

1967mcarmenm, Jun 2025

the city of Naples chaotic, here lies its charm. Streetwalking and strolling along its streets is the best thing to know. The Amalfi Coast very nice, although we did not visit all of it

One of the oldest vestiges of Naples.

Jeannette A, Nov 2022

A visit to this imposing and majestic Fortress is an unmissable visit, especially if you are in such a wonderful city. My experience was phenomenal as I was lucky enough to stay in one of the best areas of Naples Chiaia. This location allowed me to make the walking tour and enjoy the visit very calmly and carefully. It is a Fortress dating back to 1128, is a defensive element, jail, Royal Residence, and currently, is an event and exhibition center. His story of his name is derived from a legend, which narrates that one day Virgil, hid an egg under the foundations, of the Fortress and that if it were to break, the city would suffer a huge catastrophe, from this story the name of this Beautiful Fortification is born, My entrance was very easy, when I arrived at the entrance gate were in charge of the Museum and guided me with the entrance, this was completely free , if they explained to me that there is a space where there are vestiges of cultural and historical interest that if you have to pay your entrance, this area is at the bottom, but the price was very affordable. It was a unique visit, where the hike does not require much physical effort, it is very safe and the views of the Amalfi Coast and Positano, as well as the imposing Volcano Vesuvius as a backdrop from its Terraces.

another scam; soon you'll have to speak Chinese to get in; we've seen nothing beautiful; there's better a naples

Response from Host, Oct 2022

We're sorry you couldn't see anything. Can you delete the review please. The negative review did not come to Castel dell'Ovo, but to us at Destination Campani Travel. We didn't do a French tour with you. Thanks to availability Best regards

Mr. DARIO excellent guide.

Mr. Dario was able to keep the attention alive throughout the visit. A cultured, nice, interesting man who also worried about my claustrophobia as you had to go under. The view from the castle, fantastic. A pleasant experience.
