The National Archaeological Museum in Naples is rightly regarded as one of the oldest and richest museums in the world. It was inaugurated by the Bourbons in 1816 to show mankind the extraordinary finds from Pompeii, Herculaneum and beyond. Housing the Farnese collection, the museum hosts the most extraordinary sculptures ever found in Rome.
We all know that audio guides and caption cards don’t make the appreciation of classical art easy. That’s why we at Askos Tours have made it our mission to bring the displays alive for you. Our expert archaeologist guides love their work, and are keen to share their passion with you.
You’ll meet your expert guide at the entrance of the beautiful sixteenth-century palace. First, you’ll see the world renowned Farnese collection. Here, among the many masterpieces are the Hercules and the Bull, which once adorned the Baths of Caracalla.
The treasures of Pompeii and Herculaneum are kept on the upper floors. Here you’ll find the Alexander mosaic, a copy of which can be seen in Pompeii in the house of the Faun. The beautiful paintings detached during the excavations are truly a sight to behold. In the “scandalous” Secret Cabinet are extensive collections of objects of erotic art. Once regarded as too lascivious and obscene, these items were for centuries the prerogative of a select few.
If the Vatican Museums, the Louvre, and the British Museum are your thing, then you simply can’t miss the MANN. There are no Roman art museums of equal measure anywhere else in the world!
With Askos Tours the masterpieces of the National Archaeological Museum in Naples get the prominence they richly deserve. If you really want to get to know the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, a tour of this exceptional museum is essential. Book now, or contact us for more information. Let our decades of experience and our passion for archeology bring this museum to life for you!

Allow yourself to be enchanted by a 2-hour guided tour that takes you from the historic center of Amalfi to Atrani, immersing you in the vibrant colors, unique flavors, and millennia of history that define the Amalfi Coast. Once the capital of an ancient maritime republic, Amalfi’s historic center is rightly regarded as an open-air museum, preserving much of its architectural and urban heritage. You’ll encounter towers, walls, vaulted houses, ancient churches, chapels, and convents, all of which bear witness to Amalfi’s rich medieval mercantile past.

Start at Flavio Gioia Square, home to a marble statue of the inventor of the compass. Marvel at the Arsenale and explore the expansive historic center, featuring the stunning St. Andrew’s Cathedral (Duomo), an exquisite example of Arab-Sicilian architecture dedicated to Saint Andrew, the apostle and patron saint of Amalfi, whose relics are housed here.

Visit the Fountain of Sant’Andrea, adorned with 18th-century marble sculptures of Saint Andrew and marine deities. Stroll through the narrow medieval alleys lined with souvenir shops and limoncello vendors as you make your way to the picturesque Atrani. Pause for a panoramic view at the cemetery of the ancient monastery of San Lorenzo before arriving at Piazza Atrani to visit the Church of San Salvatore de’ Birecto.

Conclude your visit with a leisurely 5-minute walk back to downtown Amalfi.
