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 most

What you’ll do

In Naples, a city known for its ancient history, spectacular cuisine and, of course, the iconic Mount Vesuvius, your local host will lead you off the well-trodden tourist trail to the city’s secret network of staircases leading to parts of Naples your guidebook doesn’t even know about. From the hilltop district of Vomero, walk to the top of Petraio stairs – a tranquil staircase leading from Vomero to Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Pass between 19th-century houses overgrown with wild plants, stopping off at a terrace for a stunning view, and see a few of the city’s famous votive altars as you make your way down the stairs and head towards the Santa Maria in Portico, a late-baroque church just off the seaside promenade leading to Egg Castle – the oldest castle in Naples.

Terri May 2025

Loved seeing the city with our local city host, Daria. She was knowledgeable and accommodating as well genuinely a great person. She kept us from fighting the crowds while showing us true local things like several markets we would have missed otherwise. Daria was a great host and we loved spending time with her throughout the tour and afterwards getting to know her. Highly recommend the tour with Daria!

Daria was an amazing host. Very personable and knowledgeable of Naples and the history. She took great care of ensuring our interests were considered and gave us a locals view of Naples. It was very crowded the day we went but Daria knew how to avoid the crowds and gave us a true local experience. She helped us ordered ‘good’ street food and took us to places we would have never seen had we not signed up for the tour. Daria is amazing and we hope to see her for another tour in the future.
