Hi there! My name is Donatella, and I'm a local host in Naples. I'm known for being kind, warm, trustworthy, and open-minded, making me the perfect person to show you around this fantastic city. One of my favorite things about Naples is the street food! There's nothing quite like trying the local specialties while taking in the sights and sounds of the city. I also love the narrow alleys and the relaxed lifestyle that you can find here. I love discovering new restaurants and pubs and always hunting for the best places to eat in town. I'm also a big fan of walking around the historical center and taking in all of Naples's beautiful architecture and history. I'm familiar with some of the city's best neighborhoods like Vomero, Via Toledo, the Historical Centre, La Sanità, and Fuorigrotta, and I can confidently say that I'm a total expert when it comes to food and where to eat. So if you're looking for a friendly local to show you the best of Naples, I'm your gal! Let's explore this beautiful city together!

Our guide Donatella was informed, was able to get into a lot of different topics and knew her city well. It was easy communicating with her and we were able to customize our tour with ease. She also gave us good suggestions regarding stores for shopping for different local products including chocolate brands and street food places.

Donatella’s tour was a major highlight of our 2-week cruise of Italy. A native of the city of Naples, she conveyed a deep appreciation and joy of the city. She was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, making us feel at home after a while and answered any questions that we had as we walked the lively, crowded streets. When we wanted to pursue things other than what she had planned, she went right along with our requests. She knew of places and treats that you cannot find in general information on the web. We tasted the best pizza in the city (and there was a lot of pizza places!) and the best pastries we have ever had. We left feeling we had a good friend in Naples. Believe us when we say you will be very lucky to have her chosen as your guide of this amazing city.
