Part II : My tour is very interesting and too cheap.
The tours on the contextravel.com are more expensives than my tour. I like the full-day archaeology around mt.Vesuvius but this tour, for me, is too expensive.

1) I could take the tour group to visit Castel Nuovo, especially the Arch of Triunph. I could relate the history about these sightseeing and outdoor of site, I could surprise them with small and enchanting medieval performance of theatrical company.
2)I could meet my group outdoor Napoli Centrale Station at 9:00 o' clock, taking on ANM bus (in case of rain) or to meet us to Municipio Square always at the same hour and to stay in the castle 1 hour then, walking for via S. Carlo where there's the theatre and some bars for a break, so, reaching the medieval performance in Piazza del Plebiscito (about 30 minutes).
3)My reasons for arranging the tour are entertaiment and the pleasure to know how much artistic and cultural interest there's in the people visiting Naples. My objective educate them to cultural heritage also with interactivity. if it is possible, to create an historical atmosphere.
4) An actors' copany as: "Acquarello Napoletano" and EPT Tourist Office.
5) Nothing if it did not rain. Otherwise to price of castle's ticket ( 4 € per group) it adds only bus ticket, departure/return ( 2.60 € per person). Theatrical company's ticket coast: 20 € per tourist group. I would make about 14 € to visit in half-day.
My tour is cheapest and I guess for my objective "The Walking Tours at Frommer's" to be more appropriate than mine. Even if the tour of the first web link I find it more interesting than the others.

PART I
1)I can take the group to Amalfitana Coast. They could visit the Cathedral of Amalfi, Ravello with its beautiful and ancient sites. I can organize a "sweet" surprise at Pasticceria De Riso in Minori, famous for its tasty cakes.
2)We could meet at 8 o'clock at Piazza della Concordia in Salerno. The tour could last one day and if it rains we'll visit Vietri and its ceramics.
3)My reasons are: first of all I love it too and these places are famous all over the world so it's beautiful to go. My objective is to let them love these places. I would like they could appreciate the spectacular view and the interesting history of the sites and also the food.
4)I would choose two musicians and an expert.
5)It costs 30 Euros and the tourists are charged 50 Euros. I earn 20 Euros for each tourist.
PART II
I think that my tour is less expensive than the exsisting tours.
I think the first is the most interesting. I would add that these kinds of tours have to include artistic, archeological and cultural features but also they need to be funny to entertain people according to our customs and folklore. And least but not the last stops at restaurants that made the story of italian cuisine!

anna axs - Matr. 112000478
The title of my tour is "naples, taste and soul".I wish my group knew the real and oldest Napoli, its layers and, at the same time, to taste Napoli, its marvelous food.
So, after visiting San Lorenzo Maggiore, the surprise is to bring the group to the famous Bellini restaurant and let them eat pizza and a special pasta dish with fish known as "Linguine al cartoccio".
The appointment is at nine o'clock in Piazza Bellini. First of all we will enjoy a coffee at the literary cafe in Piazza Bellini and from there we will go by feet to Via Tribulali the major decuman.
The church is one of the oldest in Naples and stands between Via Tribunali e Via San Gregorio Armeno. If it rains there is no problem, as soon as it rains in Naples appear sellers of umbrellas at only 2 €. We'll be there about three hours, the time to visit the Gothic church and the remains of earlier historical layers. In fact, San Lorenzo Maggiore, was built at the time of the Kingdom Angevin on top of the remains of a Paleochristian church. You can still see parts of Roman columns. In the lower part of the church you can see parts of the Roman and Greek city . For these reasons the church is one of the most interesting of Naples.
At the end of the visit we walk along Via Tribunali to see the heart of Naples, the shops and the Neapolitan folklore, then we walk back to Piazza Bellini at the restaurant.
For this tour just need a guide every twenty people.
The cost of the tour includes 2 Euros for breakfast in the bar, 4 Euros for entry into San Lorenzo and 25 Euros for lunch. They will be charged of 9 euro per person. The total trip is 40 euro per person. Every tourist will receive a horn as a souvenir of his visit to Naples.
I think my tour is very interesting and fun without being too tiring and, most importantly, without using public transport that, at the moment, in Naples are a big problem. I think it's cheaper than those proposed and can be a good first approach to the city.

I think that my tour is more fun and more original of the usual tours.
There are probably cheaper tours but not as interesting as mine..
Tour sites: Piazza Del Gesù, San Biagio Dei Librai, San Gregorio Armeno, San Domenico Maggiore, "Napoli Sotterranea" and Posillipo. They will see the history and the beauty of the city and they will eat neapolitan food and sweet in a traditional bar and restaurant. I could surprise them with an excellent sweet: the "Babà"
Scheduling: I could meet them at 9 o'clock in Piazza Del Gesù and the tour could last one day. If it rains, we could go to "Gallery Umberto" and we could visit the theatre "San Carlo".
Purpose: the people will appreciate Naples because it is not as described on tv. My objective is to make known Naples for its heat and its uniqueness. I would like they could appreciate the beauty and the history of the city with its strengths and its flaws.
Human Resource: I can choose two musicians and two experts.
Expenses: It costs 15 Euros and the tourists pay 20 Euros. I would like to earn 25 Euros for each tourist.
Part II
I think my tour is cheapest. For me, www.arthurschwartz.com/guide/one-day-walking-tour-of-naples.html is very interesting. These tours must educate the tourists and they must entertain them with music,food,customs and enjoyment.
Anna Onza 112000468
1) Tour sites:Plebiscito's square , via toledo,Basilica of Santa Chiara with chiostro and at the end the Duomo and the museum about Saint Gennaro.

4)I need of actor who show the tourist the most important charachter of Naples and a guide in the museum of Saint Gennaro
5)The cost of the tour is 25 euro
I think the other tours are not good and cheap as mine
Davide Scotellaro 112000434
1)I would take my group to Spaccanapoli
which is the heart of the town, they would see San Gregorio Armeno where there are many Nativity and Christmas decoration every period of the year. Then I would take them to the Duomo, Napoli sotterranea and San Lorenzo Excavation, the wonderful Cristo Velato in the San Severo Chappel, and for lunch I would take them to Sorbillo who has the best Napoli’s Pizza and then for desser to the Casa Infante Gelateria where they would buy and degust a really nice Italian Gelato.

Part II
The Tour on ArthurSchwatrtz.com is about taking tourists in degusting some of Naples best specialities and so it would cost more than mine because restaurant charge more, and my tour instead it’s about Naples’s history and so I think it’s more interesting and suitable for tourists.

I would lead the tour group through the greek-roman Naples and the beauties of its historic center. Starting from Corso Umberto I at 8:30 am, along Mezzocannone we will arrive at Santa Chiara, the largest Gothic church in the city, built on a Roman thermal complex of the 1st century AD. Here we will see the famous cloisters. Walking along Via Benedetto Croce, dedicated to the philosopher Benedetto Croce, a very important figure for the city of Naples. Going back to Via Mezzocannone we will see San Domenico Maggiore, Piazzetta Nilo and San Severo's Chappel. Around 11:00 am we will have a break coffee with sfogliatella a typical neapolitan pastry very good. After than we will visit the church of San Lorenzo Maggiore, one of the oldest churches in Naples. At 12 o'clock on time, for two hours more or less, we will the tour in the very greek-roman area through the archaelogical excavations. And finally we could close the tour with an excellent pizza in the oldest Pizzeria in Naples: Sorbillo.
I planned the time for the tour from 8:30 to 13:30/14:00 am. Better in a season with beautiful day because you have to walk.
The reason for arranging the tour is educate the tourists and do appreciate the beauties, but also the historical importance of Naples.
The cost of this tour is 44/45 euros per person, for the tickets and the food. In total 50 euros per person with also charges for a half-day. Seeing the other tour, I think the cheaper is mine. Each tour has something important to communicate, the problem is how and who arranged the tour.

My tour is more cheap than these others. I also think that these tours are interesting as well but there's no much entertainment for tourists that probably after an hour would be bored.
Part I:
1) I would take the group to Camaldoli, the highest area of Naples. I want to organize a tour in "Eremo dei Camaldoli" and after in the Park of Camaldoli. When tourists will arrive, they'll be received by Suore Brigidine, that live in Eremo. They are really pleasant when you go there, and they'll offer breakfast to the tourists. At lunch time i'll take tourists to Pizzeria "Da michele", located near the Eremo.
2)I give appointment at 9 o' clock to Medaglie d'Oro square, in Vomero, where a bus will take the tourists to Camaldoli. I chose the bus for avoiding problems with rain. It's half day tour.
3) The first thought of a tourist is that Naples is chaotic and noisy, but in these places tourists will change idea. They will enjoy of a spiritual and quiet place surrounded by nature. They can appreciate the history of 1500 when the eremo was built and to enjoy the landscape and the biggest urban park of Italy.
4) For this tour i need a expert of Reinassance period and a bus driver.
5) I pay 130 euros for the bus while tourist will pay 2.50 £ for the bus, free offer to Suore and about fifteen euros for restaurant.
Part II:
My tour is more relaxing that walking Tours of Frommers.com, is less expensive than the tour of contextravel.com. However my tour is economic and shows to the tourists a quiet and relaxing view of Naples, surrounded by silence and nature. My tour is the most original.

I could take the tour group to Vomero because is simple to reach. We could meet at Piazza Vanvitelli on 09:00 o' clock where two of most important streets of the area intersect: Via Scarlatti and Via Berini. We could have a fast breakfast at Bellavia, have a little walk and finally arrive to the Certosa and the Museum of San Martino that are between the most important examples of neapolitan baroque and collect a lot of testimonies of Naples' life. Tourists could be surprised by the wonderful view outside the museum. I'd like to organize a tour of four hours where they can acculturate themselves about Naples' history, they can see the beauty of this city that is not how that look like and that can be an original tour that doesn't include the places where all the tourists are taken. I'd need a tourist guide for a group of ten people, they would pay 25 € and I would make 100 €.
PART II
I think that the first tour described is the most interesting but that's even more expensive and less original than mine and at last my tour is for little group because I think that with a lot of people is difficoult to give importance to every one, instead with less people you can organize the tour in a different way and make them all fascinating and entertaining.

PART ONE
1) Tour sites: ancient Greek-Roman Theater (Naples of the origins), Theatre "San Carlo" (Naples of 1700-1800), Theater "Diana" (Naples of 1900). During the visits are planned theatrical and musical interludes. Along the way the tourists will eat the typical Neapolitan dessert: "sfogliatella".
2)Scheduling: meeting at Piazza San Domenico Maggiore at nine o' clock. The tour lasts 4 hour.
3)My idea is to narrate the history of Naples in an alternative way.
4)I need of three actors - musicians.
5)The price of the tour is 25 euros.
PART TWO
The tours of the links are very interesting and articulate. My tour is shorter but it is particular because it combines history, culture and entertainment.
Thanks for your attention! Roberta Verde 112000415
Part I
1)I could take my group in the historical centre of Naples. The day begins with a surprise because i think that there is nothing better than starting the day with a pastry-crispy from Pinaturo( where was invented the most famous this puffs) and a beautiful coffe from Gambrinus. After my group could visit the charming historical centre of Naples: Tunnel Borbonici, Santa Chiara, Duomo,San Sebastiano, Cappella di San Severo, San Gregorio Armeno.During the tour i could show a lot of charming beauties hidden in the alleys of Naples, which are not considered by other tours, such as the small church dedicated to Santa Maria delle cinque piaghe, hidden among the Spanish Quarter.
2)I could meet the group at 8 'o clock in Piazza Plebiscito. The tour lasts one day. Rain is a reative problem because almost all the places we visit are close to each other and are indoors. If there was a storm, the tour will be moved to the archaeological museum of Naples, hoping that the rain only lasts half a day.
3)I think that Naples is a beautiful city, there a lot of interesting and fantastic places, but there is a widespread idea: Naples is the city of crime, only populated by pickpockets and thieves. Even the guides tell tourists to be careful with the bags before beginning the tour. I would like to teach that Naples is a big city, and like the othet big cities there are some dangers, but at the same time is a city that has much to offer.
4)I need to work in my tour a lot of musician. I think that music is the laguage of soul and in my tour we visit the quarter of San Sebastiano, "La via della musica", wich is located near santa Chiara. In this Quarter there are a lot of buskers who sing traditional neapolitan song. They sing and dance tarantelle and ballate, joyful songs that have their roots in the history of naples. It's fantastic.
5)The total cost for one day of tour( including lunch in a pizzeria) is 30 euro for a person. The tourists are charged 40 euro. For this reason i earn 10 euro.
Part II
I think that my tour it is much cheaper then the other existing tour. A lot of monument and place in my tour are free of charge, only the "tunnel borbonici" and the " cappella di San severo" are paid. I also don't want to take advantage of tourists by making them pay a lot of money. Tourism is the most important wealth of Naples, is important that when a tourist come to Naples, he he has to feel good, as if he was at home.

PART I
I would like to bring the tourists to discover a different Naples through the Caravaggio's eyes. They can see Naples and Caravaggio's paintings, with a guide talking about them and an actor playing Caravaggio. The plan takes all day long and if it rains we open the umbrellas! We meet at 7.30am near Duomo, we have a breakfast with "sfogliatelle" and "cappuccino" and then we walk on via Dei Tribunali to "Pio Monte Della Misericordia" a Church and a museum where we find one of the most important Caravaggio's paintings: "Le sette Opere della Misericordia" Seven Acts of Mercy. Then we walk through the historical city center to piazza Dante, where a car wait for to bring us to "Museo di Capodimonte" where we find "La Flagellazione di Cristo" and many other important works of art. Then the car brings us back to Piazza Dante, where we walk few minute to go to a very good pizzeria "Nanninella" located in the Spanish district. After that we walk on via Toledo to palazzo Zavallos in which we can see the last Caravaggio's painting: "Il Martirio di Sant'Orsola" The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula. Then we go to Piazza del Plebiscito and we take a good Babà at Gambrinus, ancient bar in Naples.
I like this tour because I like Caravaggio's paintings; he was from Milano but he loved Naples and I think his paintings have both the souls of these two cities and they can mix different cultures.
We just need two people to do that: one guide and one actor (the same who drives the car!)
It will costs 60euro each including breakfast, lunch, Babà transport and museums. It is only for maximum 5 people a day (I have a 6seats car)
PART II
I think that "the Arthur Schwartz's plan" is pritty similar to mine, but I give more importance to Caravaggio. Maybe the "walking tour" can be less expensive than mine, but there are too many things to see in one day only! In "Naples art walking tour" there are a lot of interesting tours to do, but it is better if you have several days and a lot of money! They show Naples better than my plan, but only if you can make all of them!
