Book this tour! You’ll be glad you did.

What an excellent tour!! I learned so much about Naples and the beautiful, diverse people who call this city home. With 3000 years of history under your feet, it’s easy to miss the small details of the historical center. But this tour weaves history, culture, tradition and folklore into a detailed tapestry. Above all, my guide, Vincenzo, is one of the best guides I’ve had while traveling! Despite being incredibly knowledgeable, he was so welcoming, kind and very funny. He thoughtfully guided us through the city and shared great insights and stories to all my questions. If you’re in Naples, this tour is a must do!

insight into culture and people of Naples

Delightful experience. Hear the stories and gain further understanding of Napoli's culture: sharing an espresso with a needy stranger, futbol's Diego Maradona, San Gennaro and more. Highly recommend this walk with Serena.

Tour of the old part of Napoli.

David_L, May 2024
We wandered in the old part of Naples (Centro Storico), which was interesting, but unfortunately understood very little of what our guide said, as her English was so poor.

Great tour to get to know Naples
