What 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!

Ono was amazing, he went above and beyond. He took us to places that were non touristy, we learned a lot about local history. There was not a question he couldn’t answer. He even helped us to travel to our next destination safely. We would highly recommend him.

Our guide, Ono, was just wonderful. Took the time, did not rush and gave us a memorable tour of the spectacular city of Naples, his city. He was so knowledgeable and he generously shared his insight with so much love, dun and wit. We had the time of our lives walking with him and listening to him. Thank you Ono. ❤️
