Hi my name is Daniela and I live in Naples, one of the most lively and original cities of the south Italy. The first thing that I love about Naples is the smell, wherever you are, even in the most hidden streets of the city, you can smell pizza and fish frying in someone’s kitchen. Every tourist should visit Mergellina, the most romantic coastal district of the city, where you can drink a beer or a glass of wine while watching the sun fading away behind the Vesuvius. Every tourist should visit the ruins of Pompeii, the Piazza del Plebiscito, and Toledo, the most attractive places in the city. Famous only for the Neapolitan people, is the ‘via dei presepi’, San Gregorio Armeno, a hidden street in the center of the city, which offers a showcase of all the local crafts concerning the nativity scene.

Daniela Balsamo was an excellent tour guide. She was very kind and helpful and she did an amazing job sharing all of her knowledge about Italy and recommending shops and restaurants for us to visit. I will recommend her to others!
