Hi, I’m Armando
I’ve lived in Naples for 34 years
I speak English, Italian
I am Tour Organizer
My name is Armando and I was born in Naples (Italy) in the 1988. I left my hometown at the age of 19 looking for new adventures. My very first destination was Ibiza, Spain and after spending the entire summer there I moved to London, UK. This was when traveling became a real passion for me. Now I'm back in Naples and I'm planning to stay for good. I love meeting new people with different backgrounds, exploring new ideas, visiting new places, and trying new food. I couldn't stop listing the many features that make this city so special: from the weather to the landscapes, the breathtaking lookouts, the music, the worldwide famous Pizza, the numerous historic monuments, and so on and on. Every time I come back though, I like treating myself with our traditional but less famous street food like a "crunchy panini" filled with any homemade product your mind may imagine then I hop on my Vespa and go to enjoy the sunset up the St. Alfonzos' Hill; A hill that only a very small portion of locals know about.

I booked a private 4-hour English-speaking walking tour of Naples, Italy with Armando for three of us. From the moment of the booking through the day of the tour, he kept us informed and inquired if there were any adjustments to the itinerary we would like to see incorporated into the tour. He arrived on time at Piazza Bellini to greet us and then eased into the official tour after getting to know us a little better. Armando speaks fluent English, has a charming personality and is quite flexible in rearranging the itinerary on the spot as needed. Every place he took us provided greater insight into Neapolitan culture, history and its people. In addition to useful information on various districts we visited, the tour included bathroom breaks, a chance to sample the famous pizza fritta (fried pizza) and ended with some aparitivo (drinks and snacks) on the Bay of Naples overlooking Mt Vesuvius, Sorrento and the isle of Capri. I would gladly book Armando for some of his other tours!
