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!

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!
