6 Historical & Heritage Tours in Ischia That You Shouldn't Miss

July 29, 2021 Deane Carmody

Serving as the main port town for the island of the same name, the town of Ischia has been inhabited for centuries, famous for its beaches and the healing waters of its spas. The town is divided in two: Ischia Porto is the harbor district and commercial center of the island, filled with brightly lit taverns and bars, and Ischia Ponte, the historic quarter, with its ancient castle and its stone streets seemingly frozen in time.

Well this was one of our highlights for our time in Europe. Our guide, Paolo, met us at the ferry port to start our exciting day. The ferry ride over was pleasant, then we were met by our driver, another great character. We visited the castle, Paolo was very knowledgeable. We stopped at several places for photos. We decided to stop for lunch, at our expense. Paolo took us to a great restaurant and I tried the local speciality of rabbit and spaghetti, nice. Paolo enaged with us and had a great sense of humour. Highly recommend this tour if you are only visiting for the day.

I would like to thank Tour Guide Naples for the excellent service and professional employees. The Capri excursion was great with Ugo that he is very professional in his work and even a very nice guy with people.The Blue Grotto was amazing, I know that is not polite to say, but because of the pandemic we enjoyed every place we went in quiet without lining nowhere even at the Blue Grotto we were alone and my kids could even get the permission for a little swim into the cave !!! I want to thank you for everything and for sure if I will have other trip to Italy, you'll be the only 1 company to work with.
