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 love a walking history tour and this one didn't disappoint! I worked with our tour guide prior to my arrival to customize our tour itinerary based on our interests, which consisted of history, culture, and food. We spent our three-hour tour walking end-to-end in Naples, learning of its history, evolution of its culture and beliefs, and some historical facts about its food culture. Because we selected food to be incorporated into the tour, I would've liked for there to be 1-2 actual tastings added in to also allow for some breaks in the three hours of walking in the afternoon. Perhaps I should've been clearer with the guide in planning. Never the less, I would recommend this experience to someone traveling to Naples! Our guide was so accommodating to even recommending another tour operator who helped in planning some aspects of our trip in Ischia and helped me navigate the ferry system prior to my arrival. She definitely went above and beyond!

Naples is a very interesting city with a lot of history. Serena was very knowledgeable, courteous and very easy going. For 3 hours she talked about Naples history and as native Napolitana, how very proud she is of her culture and city. Exploring all different parts of the city with a local is a must. I highly recommend this tour.

Our walking tour of Naples was AMAZING! Serena was the most wonderful local guide you could ask for - she is knowledgable, funny, friendly, and engaging. I learned so much about the local neighborhoods and got to really get a sense of the culture. I would highly recommend this experience to any travelers who want a more intimate view of Naples. And request Serena! She is the best!
