Daria was a wonderful guide taking us on a 3 hour private tour of the Naples. We requested to see some of authentic Naples, first, so she took us down some streets where we saw a truer side of Naples, with barely a tourist in sight! We then saw some of the sites in the historic center. As a native of Naples, Daria was able to give us so much information about Naples, that you can't necessarily read about in the tourist guides. We highly recommend this tour Daria!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and attentive to our interests, answered all questions, and accounted for what we already knew.
If you are looking for the perfect introduction to Naples, look no further than a walking tour with Donatella. Our family of three (including a 12-year-old) began our two-week Italian holiday with her 3-hour "Centro Storico" tour, and it was the best decision we could have made. Donatella met us promptly at our hotel in Piazza Bellini and led us through the heart of the city. Strolling down Via Dei Tribunali and the iconic Spaccanapoli was a sensory delight—everything you imagine Naples to be, from the colorful laundry fluttering overhead to the incredible aromas of local cuisine. We visited the historic San Lorenzo Maggiore and the stunning Santa Chiara, where we were even lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a beautiful bride arriving for her wedding! We finished the tour taking in the grandeur of Galleria Umberto and Piazza del Plebiscito. What truly set this tour apart, however, was Donatella herself. Having just arrived from California the day before, my husband and son were struggling with major jet lag and were, admittedly, a bit disengaged at first. Donatella was incredibly gracious and patient. She went above and beyond to connect with my tween, and once they discovered their mutual love for Pokémon and video games, the energy completely shifted! Seeing my son open up and engage with the city was a highlight for me. Donatella is deeply knowledgeable and fiercely proud of the Campania region. Since we visited around Christmas, she shared fascinating insights into local holiday traditions that we never would have learned otherwise. She was a massive part of our Naples story, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want a guide with heart, expertise, and the "cool factor" to win over a teenager, Donatella is the one!

We thoroughly enjoyed exploring Naples with Donatella as our tour guide. She was kind and friendly, and adaptable to the 5 of us with our ever-changing interests. She shared her extensive knowledge of the area and the culture, and the steered us to the best pastries of our trip!
Danielle was a terrific host and tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend Danielle to anybody who desires to have a tour and taste of Naples!
The walking tour with our local guide Daniela was great. She was able to adapt the tour to our requests and interests. Her explanations put things into context and made us learn a lot about Naples.
Roberto was my guide for my 3 hour walking tour of Naples. He was fantastic, and tailored the tour to what I wanted - history and culture of Naples. I had a wonderful time, and would recommend him highly. At the end of the tour he suggested I visit the San Lorenzo Maggiore church and the Roman and Greek ruins beneath it, and it was an excellent suggested. I capped off my morning with a tour of that site, a perfect ending.
It was a wonderful way to see Naples. Serena has a great knowledge of the city, and was very kind and attentive.
Great tour. Donatella knew all about the city and was very informative. Highly recommend to see Naples
Daniella gave us a great walking tour of Naples. She was very friendly & knowledgeable about the city and recepitve to customizing the tour to meet our interests. Overall, a wonderful tour. I would definitely recommend requesting Daniella as your tour guide.
Daniela Balsamo was an excellent tour guide. She was very kind and helpful and she did an amazing job sharing all of her knowledge about Italy and recommending shops and restaurants for us to visit. I will recommend her to others!
I love a walking history tour and this one didn't disappoint! I worked with our tour guide prior to my arrival to customize our tour itinerary based on our interests, which consisted of history, culture, and food. We spent our three-hour tour walking end-to-end in Naples, learning of its history, evolution of its culture and beliefs, and some historical facts about its food culture. Because we selected food to be incorporated into the tour, I would've liked for there to be 1-2 actual tastings added in to also allow for some breaks in the three hours of walking in the afternoon. Perhaps I should've been clearer with the guide in planning. Never the less, I would recommend this experience to someone traveling to Naples! Our guide was so accommodating to even recommending another tour operator who helped in planning some aspects of our trip in Ischia and helped me navigate the ferry system prior to my arrival. She definitely went above and beyond!
Naples is a very interesting city with a lot of history. Serena was very knowledgeable, courteous and very easy going. For 3 hours she talked about Naples history and as native napolitana, how very proud she is of her culture and city. Exploring all different parts of the city with a local is a must. I highly recommend this tour.
A good way to get an overview of Naples while exploring the historic parts of the city. Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and adaptable to the situation.
Daniela was amazing! She met us and dropped us off at our accommodations and texted me with her proposed tour route days in advance to ensure everything we wanted to see was covered. She was personable, warm and customized the tour to us.
We had a very educational experience today on our first ever visit to Naples. Daniella our guide was amazing, she was able to customize our tour start time and helped us save some waiting time. She provided an excellent referral for Naples pizza as well. I wouldn't hesitate again to use this tour company and Daniella again.
Everything went smooth on the tour. Our guide was called Donatella and she did a great job showing us the best of the city. She also gave us recommendations on where to eat after the tour, avoiding the touristy traps and going where the locals go
Ono was amazing, he went above and beyond. He took us to places that were non touristy, we learned a lot about local history. There was not a question he couldn’t answer. He even helped us to travel to our next destination safely. We would highly recommend him.
Our guide (Daniela) was extremely knowledgeable about the sights and historical places of Naples. She was accommodating to our interests- best place for gelato and pastries the shopping area, the Spanish quarter. It was an extremely hot day but we weren’t rushed, it was our tour and Dan was so accommodating. On reflection it was great value for money as we saw lots and learnt lots about the fantastic Naples, the culture and history. Truly fascinating city.
We very much enjoyed the a-typical tour with our guide Alessandro ! His interesting stories gave next to the most important details of the architecture, a very good impression of the atmosphere of Naples.
Daniela scheduled all that we wanted to see and she was very patient with us oldies. She took care to see that we understood what she was explaining to us. I recommend her as a host.
Daniela ,our guide, is a local Napoli resident and knows tons of interesting facts and anecdotes regarding the people and places of her city.
Tour guide never showed up and wouldn't even return my text messages. Very disappointing and un professional. I was so looking forward to this tour as my introduction to Naples. I was left trying to juggle another tour at the last minute.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Daniela. She was very knowledgeable and it was a pleasure walking around Naples with her. Even more impressive, she speaks five languages! So, if you want to learn about Naples, we would highly recommend asking for Daniela.
Renato gave us one of the best tours we’ve ever had! His deep knowledge, passion for Naples, and warm personality made the city come alive. We explored stunning sites—churches, royal buildings, castles—and even got insider tips on where to eat and hidden local gems. It felt like touring the city with a friend. Don’t miss this experience!
Daniela was great. She prepared well prior to meeting her without interests and expectations. She was clearly knowledgeable about the area and the sights. She would have happily adapted the tour to suit the family. She was very patient with the kids. She left us with loads of great places to eat for the rest of our stay. I would highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our tour. Nadia was a very good and knowledgeable guide who adapter the tour to our interests- highly recommend!
Naples is a very unique, high energy city. In just 2 hours, Daniela helped us become comfortable enough for us to explore it on our own.
Lovely half-day tour with Daniela. High points for us were Napoli Underground with the greco-roman subterranean architecture, the Via Toledo in the Spanish Quarter, and the walk along the Bay of Naples waterfront. Highly recommended.---Jim T. from Vienna
Perfect introduction to Naples. We requested to see key historical parts of town, and we were also able to try some local treats along the way. Nunzia was very gracious and tailored the tour just for us.
My guide was Armando and he was fantastic. If you sign up for this tour, I recommend you request Armando. He really knows the streets and neighborhoods of Naples, and he is both knowledgeable and affable. We walked and talked for three hours, and there was never a dull moment.
Our tour guide, Ileana was very kind, observant, professional and knowledgeable. We were extremely happy with her. She was very attentive to our needs.
We met with our tour guide, Denise, without a problem. She was on-time and super friendly from the get-go. Denise is very knowledgeable about all things Napoli and you can tell she lives in the city as our tour had a nice flow to it. She brought us into some magnificent churches we didn’t even know existed…and we’ve seen a lot of European churches in our travels. We would highly recommend Denise to anyone interested in learning more about the history and culture of this really cool city.
We had a GREAT time!!! Enya was amazing. Sooo much good information. The pace was great. The locations that we went to were a great variety and the lunch we stopped for was amazing!! We asked to go to mainly non-touristy areas, and that is what we did. We would highly recommend this if you are in Napoli.
Donatella was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and showed us the heart of naples! Also, she gave us great insight on the people of naples and recommended wonderful places to dine! 10/10
We toured the Old Naples with Enya. She's professional and friendly and had great stories and a lot of knowledge about Naples. We got to get off the beaten path to many secret spots we would never have found on our own. 3 hours flew by!
I was only on Naples for 5 hours. This was the perfect tour for my short visit. Roberto was amazing and provided me a wonderful historic foodie tour.
Alessandro was a warm and welcoming tour guide that truly covered so much in a few hours. We saw 2 churches and had the best coffee in Italy. We saw the best part of the Spaccanapoli and the Spanish Quarter. We made food suggestions for great pastries and pizza. The best part was the we received great suggestions on What's app after our tour and he stayed in touch with us to answer any questions we had. We took a lot of his recommendations and had a great time in Naples. Grazie Alessandro!!
This private walking tour was amazing! We had such a great time exploring the city on foot and learning about the history, culture, art and food. Couldn’t speak more highly of our private tour guide Manny. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we saw everything that was on our bucket list and so much more. If you’ve never been to Naples I would highly recommend this tour
Nunzia was a fantastic guide. She was very knowledgeable, and scheduled our tour to expose us to the Neapolitan way. We saw all the important sites including the most important….a pizza restaurant. For a wonderful tour, request Nunzia.
Daniela was fantastic, she was very Knowledgeable and engaging. We learnt lots and had a great time. Would throughly recommend.
3 hours went by very quickly with Enya. She’s punctual, organized and very knowledgeable of the city. Saw places I would have not seen if I was on my own. You are in great hands when she is guiding you! Highly recommended!
Our guide Daniela was amazing. She has a vast knowledge of Naples and provided a very well planned and enjoyable tour. We had a great time and were left with a deep appreciation of Naples and find memories of our time there that we will never forget
Daniela is an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We had an awesome time. Totally recommend this tour if you have a short time in Napoli.
We enjoyed a wonderful experience with Armando. Conversation was easy and our experience was personalized, flexible and informative.
We did a three-hour private walking tour with Nunzia in early July and could not recommend Nunzia more highly. She contacted us prior to the tour to advise of her proposed itinerary and see if there were particular things we wanted to see or do, and on learning we had already done a walking tour which had covered a few landmarks, she devised a revised itinerary to ensure we didn't repeat anything, which took us to some stunning spots we'd never otherwise have known about and experienced some great Naples traditions including trying a selection of local pastries, drinking limonata a cosce aperte and eating tarelli while walking along the seaside. Nunzia also pre-purchased a 24-hour travel pass for each of us so that we could get around most effectively during the tour and see the gorgeous Toledo station. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Naples' history and culture, had excellent English and was extremely warm and friendly - we learnt so much from her insights and had a great time, and she also gave us great recommendations on places to try or things to do in and around Naples (including catching the 140 bus to the stunning Posillipo).
My husband, our son, my mother and I took a private tour with Alessandro. He was amazing! My son said he was the best tour guide we had on our trip to Italy. He was very informative and we got to experience some really great neighborhoods and the recommendation for dinner was awesome! I would definitely recommend Alessandro to any of my friends travelling to Naples in the future.
Variety was the key feature of this walking tour, from the historical context of landmarks to local food and drink favocontagious. English speaking guide was an about-to-graduate Architecture student who has really enjoyed living in Naples for 9 years and her enthusiasm was contageous.
