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!
Response from Host, Jul 2026

This was a wonderful way to quickly learn about Naples from a local. Our guide, Donatella, was raised in Naples and provided so much history and culture which made our experience amazing.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We're delighted to hear that you had such a great introduction to Naples with Donatella. As a local who grew up in the city, she loves sharing its history, culture, and hidden stories, so it's fantastic to know her knowledge helped make your experience so memorable.

Donatella was a wonderful guide. She gave us an excellent tour of the area and thoughtful suggestions for hidden gem destinations later in the week. I highly recommend her.

This is a great way to get a feel of the city and maybe get some ideas of places you like to visit. Our guide was very knowledgeable. I gave us some great ideas for places to see in Naples. I would recommend it if you know nothing about Naples. It is a good introduction to the city.

You can choose the number of hours for this tour to suit your needs. I knew where in Naples I would be visiting on a tour group I was joining so asked the guide, Ilenia, in advance to come up with some ideas for our four hours which would precede the tour. Her choices were spot on and she was flexible when she saw what interested us most. My husband and I felt we knew so much about the city after our tour. Besides visiting sights, we learned to use the Naples metro and had the opportunity to take the funicular - along with the Neopolitans - up to Vomero en route to San’Elmo Castle. It was a fun and enlightening day.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We’re so glad you enjoyed such a thoughtful and personalized introduction to Naples! It’s wonderful to hear how the experience combined local sights, practical tips, and unique ways of exploring the city, helping you leave with a much deeper understanding of Naples — thank you for sharing this lovely feedback.

This was a great tour. Onofrio was very knowledgeable and friendly. Our tour was very well paced and we were able to see all that we wanted. We loved that he explained thoroughly but we were not overwhelmed with information. Highly recommended!!!

William_C, May 2026
Nunzia was a great guide. It was nice not being in a large tour group. She catered to our wishes in the time we had and showed us out of the way places. She helped navigate to subway system, which was a bit crazy. ;-) Would recommend
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed exploring the city with Nunzia and appreciated the more personal experience away from a large tour group. It’s wonderful to know she could tailor the experience to your wishes and help make navigating the subway a little less overwhelming — we’ll be sure to share your kind words with her.
Indira_A, May 2026
Great way to see the Center of Napoli and get to know your way around while visiting Naples. Ask
for Daniela, she is a great historian and teacher. She is flexible and kind, you will have a specialized tour.

We did the 4 hour walking tour with Daniela. We covered a lot of ground and learned so much about the city from her. She tailored our experience to our interests and recommended favourite places from which to sample some of the traditional eats.

Marta was exceptional during our private tour of the hidden gems in Naples. She was born and raised in Napoli so knows the area really well. She provided personal insight to the town she loves. We had fun walking through the streets and outdoor markets. A fun way to explore Naples. Ask for Marta for a fabulous day.

Our guide Daniela was great. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant company. She shared a custom itinerary with us days in advance and asked for our input. We were able to proceed at our own pace and we saw everything we wanted to see. Highly recommended.

Roberto was the best tour guide we ever had. He was so knowledgeable about the area, very friendly, and customized the tour to our interest. He was so amazing. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Naples.
Response from Host, May 2026
We’re so glad you had such an amazing and personalized experience exploring Naples! It’s wonderful to hear how much you appreciated the local knowledge and thoughtful approach — your recommendation truly means a lot to us.
Dave_W, May 2026
We went to the meeting place you provided but never found the tour guide. We called Viator who tried to call the provider but still no luck. 30 minutes after the start time, we gave up (sigh).
Response from Host, May 2026
Hello Dave,
I understand how disappointing it must have been after arriving and waiting for the experience to begin.
There appears to have been a misalignment in the meeting point information between the confirmation details and the host’s arrangements. This is not the experience we aim to deliver, and we are following up internally to ensure this is addressed properly.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide a much smoother experience next time.
Best regards,
Sheenah and the City Unscripted Team

Armando is a great guide and took us through each historic era - from the Greeks, to the Spanish, French to Nazis, Americans and modern day. In addition to being very knowledgable about Napoli and its sites - he is very nice guy. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, May 2026
We’re so glad you enjoyed such a rich journey through Naples’ history across so many eras! It’s wonderful to hear how engaging and insightful the experience felt — your recommendation truly means a lot to us.
Claire_M, Apr 2026
Daniela was an amazing tour guide! She was so kind and so knowledgeable! She took us around the entire city, gave us food and attraction recommendations (which was extra awesome because my husband has a gluten allergy). She set us up for a really great time in Naples!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re so glad you had such an amazing and supportive experience exploring Naples! It’s wonderful to hear the thoughtful recommendations made your time even more enjoyable — your recommendation truly means a lot to us.

Daniela was a great guide. We learned a lot and had an enjoyable tour. She modified her pace for us and also made sure to speak clearly and loudly in busier areas. We were very impressed with her detailed knowledge and recommendations for local food and other sites.

Nepalese is a surprising and Wonderful city. Donatella was a very knowledgeable, punctual and kind guide.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time in Naples and found it such a wonderful and surprising city. We’re especially happy to know that Donatella made your experience even better with her knowledge, punctuality, and kindness.
Alicia_S, Apr 2026
A walking custom, private tour of Naples booked through Viator is a winning choice when given just one day to explore the city. Rich in history, food, and culture, our tour guide Donatella “Doni” came through for us in every way. The photo ops are endless and Doni captures every moment. Another highlight was dining at a locals only pizzeria which was a standout. Overall, the best money spent for a day to remember.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re so glad your day in Naples felt so memorable and well spent! From local food spots to those great photo moments, it sounds like a fantastic way to experience the city — thank you for sharing this.
Laurie_S, Apr 2026
This was bar far the best money I have ever spent on a tour. Donatella was a local that knew everything about Naples. If you really want to see Naples take a tour with her.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your experience with Donatella was such a highlight of your trip and that she was able to share her deep local knowledge of Naples with you.
It means a lot to us that you felt it was such great value, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you again on another experience in the future.

This walking tour covers both the very interesting Old Town and newer commercial and historical area closer to the waterfront. Our guide, Nadia, had arranged about good path that allowed us to see interesting sights and try local foods.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
It’s wonderful to know that Nadia curated a thoughtful route that combined fascinating sights with local food experiences. Thank you for your kind review and we hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience!
Denise_T, Mar 2026
Donatella was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and truly made the tour with my interests in mind. She gave me some tips on what to see after the tour was done and they made my day.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
We’re so happy to hear that you had a wonderful time with Donatella. Her knowledge and thoughtful approach in tailoring the experience to your interests truly make the tour special. It’s also great to know that her recommendations helped make the rest of your day even more enjoyable.
Joseph_M, Mar 2026
Our excursion from Viking Cruise Lines was mostly on a bus. This Viator excursion was 100% walking. This meant that we could go down the narrow streets where the bus could not.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
We're glad you enjoyed exploring the areas that larger buses can’t reach. One of the advantages of our walking experiences is the ability to discover charming narrow streets and hidden corners that are often missed on traditional bus tours. We hope you had a wonderful time exploring and would love to welcome you again on another adventure in the future!
Kati_T, Jan 2026
We had a great time with Nadia! She perfectly tailored our experience to our needs and likings. It made our experience so much better than if we had ventured out on our own.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re so happy to hear this experience was such a great fit and felt perfectly tailored to what you were hoping for. Knowing it made your time exploring so much more enjoyable than going it alone means a lot to us, thank you for sharing your feedback.
Lenore_J, Jan 2026
Lots of walking, cobblestone streets, but well worth it. We chose shopping but received history info also.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re glad to hear the experience felt well worth the walking and struck a nice balance between shopping and local history. Thanks for sharing your feedback, it’s great to know it added something special to your time exploring.
Erin_O, Nov 2025
Great 4 hour tour of Naples! Our guide, Donatella, took our personal likes into consideration as she guided us through the new city center and the historic city center. We explored streets that we would have never gone down alone! Highly recommend the tour!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We’re delighted to hear that you had a great 4-hour experience of Naples and that Donatella tailored the experience to your interests. It’s wonderful that she showed you streets and areas you wouldn’t have explored on your own.
