Marta was exceptional during our private tour of the hidden gems in Naples. She was born and raised in Napoli so knows the area really well. She provided personal insight to the town she loves. We had fun walking through the streets and outdoor markets. A fun way to explore Naples. Ask for Marta for a fabulous day.

Far too many emails sent in advance of the tour, which is one of the reasons for the confusion about the start time and guide. We responded to the pre-tour questionnaire, only to receive the form once again requesting the same information several days later. We then arrived at the pickup point as instructed, only to discover the confirmed time (11:00am) was one hour later than the time provided to the guide (10:00am, who therefore had already left) and that a new guide had been assigned (we weren't notified). We eventually met the new guide after a 30-minute wait and proceeded with the tour. Recommendation: consolidate your communications with clients in advance to avoid this kind of confusion.

Daniela was an amazing tour guide! She was so kind and so knowledgeable! She took us around the entire city, gave us food and attraction recommendations (which was extra awesome because my husband has a gluten allergy). She set us up for a really great time in Naples!

A walking custom, private tour of Naples booked through Viator is a winning choice when given just one day to explore the city. Rich in history, food, and culture, our tour guide Donatella “Doni” came through for us in every way. The photo ops are endless and Doni captures every moment. Another highlight was dining at a locals only pizzeria which was a standout. Overall, the best money spent for a day to remember.

Finish your experience with time to pause where Naples feels most authentic to you—perhaps over espresso and sfogliatella at a tucked-away café, a street food stop loved by locals, or a quieter piazza where conversation and city life naturally unfold.

What you’ll do

With a rich history, Naples is a treasure trove of subterranean ruins, ancient architecture, and often surprising modern influences. With four hours and a local host, you’ll see a little bit of everything. You could explore the streets of Centro Storico (a lively hub of famous attractions and typical street food), browse fresh produce and cheap clothes at the popular market on Pignasecca Square, or view a famous street mural by local artist Jorit. Or maybe you’re interested in the darker sides of the city at the Purgatorio ad Arco – a church decorated with eerie winged skulls – or Fontanelle cemetery inside an old cave, where the spirit of Naples is perfectly encapsulated by the overlapping contradiction of religion and superstition.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Can I request a specific host?

You can request a host, but since most hosts have other commitments, we can't guarantee they'll be available. However, we carefully match you with a host based on your interests and preferences, making it feel like exploring with a friend rather than a stranger.

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

What makes City Unscripted different?

We don’t do generic tours. Every experience is crafted around you, ensuring a unique, personal, and authentic way to explore the city. You won’t just see the sights—you’ll connect with the people and stories that bring the city to life.

How does my host personalize this experience?

After booking, you'll receive a questionnaire that captures your travel style, interests, and any specific requests. Your host will use this to tailor your experience, ensuring it reflects what excites you most.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

Are food and drinks included, or do I need to pay separately?

Unless stated otherwise, food and drinks are not included. Your host will take you to great spots where you can order what you like and pay as you go.

Do I need to pay for the host's food or drinks?

No, if you and your host decide to stop for food or drinks during your experience, you don’t need to cover your host’s expenses—your host will take care of their own.

Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

Do you have deals with restaurants or set food stops?

No, unlike traditional food tours, our hosts are free to take you to their personal favorite spots rather than fixed locations. This means your food experience will always be unique, with authentic and unbiased recommendations from someone who knows the local food scene best.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your experience will still go ahead, and your host will adapt the day to suit the conditions. One of the great things about City Unscripted is that no two experiences are the same, and your host knows the city well enough to find great “rainy day” alternatives.

Is this experience physically demanding?

We can tailor the experience to be as active or relaxed as you like—just let us know what suits you best!

Can we explore outside the main city?

Yes! If you’re interested in day trips or exploring beyond the city, let us know in the post-booking questionnaire, and your host will design an itinerary that takes you to incredible places off the usual tourist path.

What makes a night experience different from daytime?

Cities take on a completely different character after dark—whether it’s quiet lantern-lit streets, lively food stalls, or buzzing nightlife, your host will show you the best of the city at night.

Can I combine nightlife with food or cultural experiences?

Absolutely! Many night experiences blend food, drinks, and cultural spots for a unique evening adventure.

Is it safe to explore at night?

Yes! Your host will guide you through safe and exciting areas so you can enjoy the city stress-free.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
