Armando was fantastic, His knowledge from being Neopolitan was amazing. Lots of tips of best places to eat & drink. His knowledge of the city’s history, culture is second to none, Highlighted places to visit and food to sample which proved invaluable during the remainder of our stay in Naples. Thank you Armando!

Donatella was brilliant. It was great to speak with a local from Napoli. She was full of enthusiasm and did all that I wanted to see and experience in the Spanish Quarter and around. It was a pity I didn't get to see the Veiled Christ because it had to be booked some time before you arrive, so I missed that. All the atmosphere and noise and chatter was all that I expected. All the washing must have been dried and done by the time I got there as it was in the late afternoon (smile). I would recommend Donatella to anyone wishing to experience this quarter. I will be back to say hello again some day.

Loved talking to a person who lives in Napoli. It makes the experience more personal. Do Stella was fabulous, I saw all that I wanted to see.

The company was great about matching us to a tour guide based on our interests. We wanted to learn about food and history, and our guide was very prepared. She also provided a ton of great recommendations about things to do and see and eat outside of the tour. I only wish that we had done a longer tour so that we could have seen more of the city with a guide. It was a great experience for the short period of time we were in Naples during our trip!

Your Naples Kickstart: A Personalized 2-Hour Experience

Meet your host at your accommodation or a central landmark like Piazza del Plebiscito. Through a relaxed chat, they’ll learn your interests and help you understand Naples’ layout, key neighborhoods, and how to navigate the city with confidence.

Local Streets & Everyday City Life

A glimpse into the rhythm of the city

Walk through lively streets where Naples feels most alive—laundry strung overhead, scooters passing by, and locals chatting outside cafés. Your host shares insights into daily life, traditions, and what gives the city its raw, unmistakable energy.

A Landmark or Key Orientation Point

A place that helps you understand the city

Pause at a landmark like the Duomo or along Spaccanapoli. Your host shares stories of Naples’ layered past—from Greek origins to Spanish rule—helping you connect the city’s history with what you see around you today.

A Local Café, Market, or Gathering Spot

A place locals naturally gravitate toward

Stop at a neighborhood café or market where locals gather. Whether it’s a quick espresso or browsing fresh produce, your host shares tips on what to eat, where to go, and how to experience Naples beyond the obvious.

A Hidden Corner or Unexpected Discovery

A place you might never have found on your own

End with a hidden courtyard, quiet church, or tucked-away viewpoint. These lesser-known spots reveal a more intimate side of Naples and leave you feeling inspired, oriented, and ready to explore further on your own.

Your FAQs

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.

Naveen was an amazing guide! He told us so many interesting facts about Munich and had pictures to back up the info - awesome! He made suggestions of restaurants/vendors to visit at the market and we took his advice and were not disappointed! We even saw him with another tour! How fun!

What made our experience special was the guide's ability to adapt and improvise the itinerary on the fly — that flexibility really made the visit feel personal rather than scripted. On top of that, the quality of the places and products recommended was excellent throughout. Overall, it was the perfect mix of great planning and spontaneity when it mattered.
