How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Get a three-hour crash course in Naples, from navigating the old streets to learning the distinct character of each district (and squeezing in some sightseeing along the way!). Stroll under the arch of Alba Gate towards the old city of Naples, where you’ll see one of the city’s most famous Neapolitan pizzerias, Sorbillo, and stately buildings belonging to the 800-year-old University of Naples Federico II, one of the oldest in the world. Get a perfect snapshot of Neapolitan life on Via Toledo, a hive of Italian boutiques and popular street food, and enter Toledo Metro, one of Europe’s most famous (and beautiful) metro stations. Not feeling like an honorary local yet? After a photo opportunity with the backdrop of Mount Vesuvius and the island of Capri, you certainly will!

I felt held and guided before I ever met Giusy. She answered questions that I had multiple times before I landed in Italy. Giusy had the patience and guidance for me to get through the struggles I had arriving into Naples and locating my B&B. She went over and beyond with genuine hospitality the whole time she took me through her beautiful city of Napoli. Her knowledge that she shared with me was with enthusiasm and love for her home. I hope that everyone that comes to Napoli would have a sliver of attention and guidance that I received the whole time I was Naples and am still receiving in recommendations. Grateful for opportunity to meet her and see a beautiful part of Italy.
