Extraordinary experience with Lucia! She is extremely knowledgeable and wove fascinating tales that kept us enthralled throughout our walking tour as we toured sites that ranged from the gorgeous duomo to the delightfully whimsical Doll Hospital, to the quirky perpetual-Christmas street, and the bizarre church of skulls, while learning the fascinating local history. Do not miss this marvelous opportunity!

I already had tours with this company, one for Amalfi and another one for Capri, and this one was amazing as well. The guide was funny and very knowledgeable. She was also patient taking a lot of pictures for us.
It was such a cool way to explore the city. I'd heard a bit about San Genaro before, but hearing the full story during the tour was something else! Our guide Sonia told us all about the Miracle of the blood and the popular chilly pepper of the Napolitan tradition. During our free time we stopped by the pulcinela statue and we had a funny moment drinking a lemon slush that apparently you should drink with both legs opened (that's a little crazy but we really enjoyed it!) Thank again for this amazing walking tour. I will suggest to all my friends visiting Italy!
I wasn't expecting to fall in love with Naples on a walking tour but this one totally blew me away! Our guide was super fun and full of amazing stories- some true, some legendary-but all super interesting. We wandered through the heart of the city (be careful with the scooters). One minute we were hearing about ancient Roman ruins, the next about local ghost stories and strange legends. If you are in Naples and want to get a real feel for the city's history and personality, this is the tour to book! Super relaxed, really fun and honestly one of the best things I did in Italy.
Did not meet my expectations. We often use walking tours, charged or contributed. This one was charged and for lack of better word less informed or shallow.
We had such a fun Naples historical center tour with our guide Serena! Booking last minute was a great decision—we didn’t regret it at all. The group tour was enjoyable, and the stories about Naples that we learned were truly magical. Serena also gave us fantastic recommendations for our stay in the city. We highly recommend this tour!
We had a wonderful tour with a delightful local guide in the heart of Naples, exploring the historical center of this enchanting city and learning about all the legends associated with its narrow streets. We also received excellent recommendations for our stay in Naples. Personally, I highly recommend taking this tour, especially as a first step in discovering the city.
We took this tour at the beginning of April with our guide Serena. It was actually a mistake on our part as we thought it was in French, but Serena went above and beyond to translate as much as she could from English to French (as my parents don't speak English!). Despite the language mix-up, the tour was incredibly interesting, and we learned a lot about Naples' traditions and legends. Serena was an exceptional guide, and we highly recommend this tour. She also gave us fantastic shopping tips and recommendations for other places to visit in Naples.
I really enjoyed this tour! Naples is an amazing, charming chaotic city! We visited beautiful churches and the main street called " decumani", there are a lot of shops, restaurants everywhere! Our tour guide was great professional and she told us many things about the Neapolitan culture. The church of "GesùNuovo" is so so magic! Yes, I definitly recommend this tour! Thank you
The tour lasts two hours during wich you cross the city to discover its beauties! The street of San Gregorio Armeno is amazing!it is my favorite street. the guide was very funny and professional ,she accompained us in the characteristics alleys of Naples i would reccomend it . It was a wonderful experience!
Excellent tour! Absolutely perfect way to spend an afternoon in the heart of Naples. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun!
Die Geschichte der pittoresken Altstadt ist sehr interessant und Ludovica hat uns viel Historisches erzählt. Leider ist ihr Enlisch (trotz Ihres britischen Nachnamens) oftmals sehr italienisch ausgesprochen und daher schwierig zu verstehen.
Excellent tour of the historic center of Naples with our guide Teresa, all extremely interesting and engaging. Advised!
Our guide Teresa is a Neapolitan fair and makes us appreciate even more what we visit with details and curiosity, very kind and prepared
I was lucky enough to do the tour alone with Stefania, the guide, who was very good and very kind!! Attentive to detail, he gave me many suggestions on what to visit even independently. Stefania also took me to one of the best pastry shops in Naples. Highly recommended the tour!!
After booking and an exchange of messages seemed a great guide, also seen the willingness to change plans for an unexpected, instead the visit lasted just over an hour and our guide seemed to have no clear itinerary, for example the meeting was in Piazza del plebiscite where we had no news about the most important square in Naples.
Courtesy, professionalism and expertise for an unforgettable experience. My judgment is more than excellent. Recommended a thousand times.
