Essential Naples: Discover the Soul of the Old Town in Naples - AdobeStock_376493553.jpg

Olvídate de lo que crees saber sobre Nápoles: hay una faceta más profunda y auténtica que espera ser descubierta. Bienvenido al alma de la ciudad: el casco antiguo, donde la historia antigua se fusiona con la vibrante vida callejera.

En este tour privado de 2 horas y media, tu guía local te guiará por algunas de las calles más emblemáticas y evocadoras de Nápoles, lejos de las multitudes turísticas. Pasea por la legendaria Via dei Tribunali, sumérgete en la energía de Piazza Dante y piérdete en el entrañable tapiz de Spaccanapoli, donde cada piedra cuenta una historia.

Esto no es solo una lección de historia, sino una inmersión cultural profunda. A lo largo del camino, descubrirás diferentes facetas de la personalidad de la ciudad: desde iglesias barrocas y ruinas romanas hasta animadas pizzerías y peculiares talleres artesanales. Es una fusión perfecta de arquitectura, comida callejera y carácter urbano.

Tu anfitrión conoce el Casco Antiguo como su propio patio trasero, porque lo es. Compartirá contigo historias personales, rincones escondidos y perspectivas locales basadas en su experiencia en todo, desde arte hasta arqueología. Y si hay alguna ruta en particular que te gustaría tomar o algo que quisieras explorar más a fondo, solo dínoslo. Cada tour es personal, flexible y tan único como Nápoles.

We met up near our Airbnb in Chiaia and had a great few hours with Nino. Understanding all the layers of this chaotic city makes the beauty really shine through. He also gave many pointers to places to eat and visit on our own. 10/10!Great introduction ti Naples

Miriam was so friendly and welcoming to the city of Naples. We definitely felt like we experienced the culinary secrets of the city. We were provided with a wonderful selection of treats, both sweet and savoury. Some highlights were the mini mozzarella, pasta frittata and fried fish. Miriam also gave us an excellent pizzeria recommendation. We're so happy we booked this tour with Miriam and would definitely recommend to others.Amazing foodie experience

Miriam was so much fun! We had a lovely food tour which she customized for us (we have some dietary restrictions). She also made sure to show us the best hidden spots in Naples that we would never have found on our own. We travel to Italy a lot, but this was really a highlight of our time here. Definitely recommend Miriam as the sweetest and most knowledge guide!Amazing and efficient tour through Napoli

We arrived in Naples in awe of the hustle and bustle of the city. We started our exploring with Roberto. In an afternoon with Roberto we learned so much about Naples- the history, culture and food. My family was so excited about the experience. Roberto lives in Napoli and he highlighted for us the real Napoli, where we were able to be a part of the stories of the locals. We feel so comfortable to venture through the city with all we learned from Roberto. From the moment we met Roberto it was like we met up with a friend or cousin. He was friendly, funny,, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city. He shared his love for his city. He made our stay in Napoli memorable and special.We loved how he included special stops or information along the tour to make it personal to my family. We highly recommend Roberto to anyone visiting Naples. Thank you Roberto and ciao e aspettiamo la prossima volta. City Kickstart tour of Napoli with Roberto

The difference between a good tour and a great tour is the guide. This was a GREAT tour. Our tour guide Roberto was a joy to hang out with for 4 hours; walking around the streets, learning the history and stopping by a half dozen spots for vegan delights. The pizza was the best ever. Funny thing: with thousands of people walking the streets, Roberto seemed to know everyone...a true local! I do recommend this tour highly. All within walking distance of the cruise ship. Thanks again Roberto. :)Vegan Tour

Ich schreibe diese Bewertung auf Deutsch, damit auch andere Deutschsprachige erfahren, wie sensationell die Tour mit Roberto war. Wir waren auf einer 10-tägigen Kreuzfahrt im Mittelmeer und ich kann sagen, dass Neapel mit Roberto eines der absoluten Highlights war. Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit und es kommt einem so vor, als ob ein guter Freund einem seine Lieblingsstadt zeigt. Es war ein toller Mix aus Sehenswürdigkeiten und kulinarischen Highlights. Jeder neue Stop war ein Genuss. Roberto, es hat großen Spaß gemacht mit dir! Und ganz wichtig: Forza Napoli!Neapel mit einem guten Freund

Nino blends history, food, culture and fun. He was welcoming, warm and patient with our large group of adults and kids. He even chose streets for us to walk that would be easier for pushing a pram/ stroller. He appealed to the adults with his deep historical knowledge of Naples and Italy, and he tailored the food tour stops on the go to accommodate our small children’s preferences. We will definitely seek out Nino again for our next visit to Napoli! Grazie!Perfect family-friendly food tour

Noemi is such a kind spirit . Right away took on the children’s attention with the treasure hunt. So sweet and patient when our youngest was tired out. We were very impressed with her knowledge of Pompei and her enthusiasm for history swept us all up. Thank you so very much! Noemi is the best!

A Legendary Local Tour (Ettore) — 10/10 Would Recommend! What a day! We were lucky enough to be shown around town by an absolute legend of a gentleman — part tour guide, part historian, part comedian, and 100% awesome. From secret spots we’d never have found on our own to hilarious local stories that had us laughing out loud, every moment was a blast. He didn’t just show us the city — he made us feel like we belonged there. You could tell he genuinely loves his hometown, and his excitement was contagious. He had fun facts, great food recommendations, and even gave us time to explore while keeping the vibe super relaxed and easygoing. Honestly, it felt less like a tour and more like a fun day out with a friend who just happens to know everything about the area. If you ever get the chance to be shown around by him — don’t hesitate. Pack your curiosity, bring your camera, and get ready to make some unforgettable memories. Thank you for an epic adventure!A Legendary Local Tour (Ettore)

We loved our tour with Miriam. She was so passionate about her city, funny, chatty and full of life. We booked as a family of four. The children loved her stories and the fact that she listened with interest to all they had to say and answered ALL their questions. She had us tasting lots of food but also showed us some hidden gems of the city, told us about the history and made us feel right at home. I can’t recommend a tour with Miriam enough!!A fantastic foodie adventure around Naples

My husband and I arrived in Naples without a plan. At the last minute I connected with Roberto via WithLocals and it was the best way we could have experienced Naples! Literally within a couple of hours we connected with Roberto and he showed us the city with the most delicious food. He introduced us to the history, the people and the cuisine. Hard to pick the best of what we tasted, but all I know is that everything was delicious and we ended the tour with very full stomachs! Thank you Roberto! You were the best guide, or rather as you expressed to us, our new friend!The best way to experience Naples!

Roberto was an absolute PLEASURE! He took extra time to tell us about the history of Napoli as well as interesting and fun “nuggets” of knowledge that enhanced our experience. The food was off the charts amazing, especially the fresh seafood, the Ragu, the buffalo cheese, the fried everything and of course, the Margarita Pizza. A plus plus plus!!! Roberto was amazing, he loves his city and he knows everyone too. Someday he’ll be the Mayor. Thank you, Roberto and God Bless! 🤩Roberto the Mayor of Napoli

Our group loved spending the whole day with Noemi! Right out of the gate, as soon as I made my booking, she was a fabulous communicator. She arranged everything! She hired a FANTASTIC driver, and made sure to accommodate every single whim and wish on our list. We traveled the Amalfi coast, stopping along the way for food and shopping. She made us feel like family, taking care of everyone’s needs and preferences. We had THE MOST AMAZING lunch, right along the side of the road, not a restaurant, simply a shop, she did all of the ordering and we had the best, most authentic meal! We were delighted. And then, we reached Pompeii; this is where Noemi SHINES. She knows everything about Pompeii, not only does she know how to navigate and narrate it perfectly, but she has developed an internal treasure hunt, and little games along the way keeping you fully engaged and in the spirit of exploration. We were a group of adults, but I can imagine this would be fantastic for kids too! Noemi is the whole package! Tell her what you want to see, and she will make it happen! Thank you, Noemi! We had the greatest adventure with you!!Noemi was fantastic

Nino was a fantastic guide and gave a dollop of history and a full serving of food. He took us to several places that we wouldn't have found on our own and, as another reviewer said, took us to a place with the easily best mozzarella we've ever had. We also learned a lot about Neapolitan cuisine. I can't recommend it highly enough; you'll really enjoy your time walking, talking, and eating with Nino as your guide!The best food tour we've ever been on!

Excellent tour! I was a lone traveler so it was just myself and Federica! The tour is the same price if you’re alone or a family but it was well worth it to me. I had limited time to spend in Napoli and wanted to make the most of it. She was very informative regarding the history of the area! You could tailor this tour to what you were interested in knowing and seeing. It was a well spent afternoon and I’m so glad I chose this. We went through local sights, local food market shopping, and neighborhoods I may not have discovered on my own. Being with a local was great! We had an espresso together and I was directed to a great pizza place for dinner. A great way to end my visit to Italy. Thank you!Excellent Tour! Well worth it!

The food tour was great however we had a difficult situation arise. One of the guys in our group was not feeling well and found it difficult to walk. Frederica’s husband was our guide and went above and beyond to accommodate us. We went to a few spots and when it became evident that one gentleman couldn’t handle the whaling he brought all the food tour us so we didn’t miss anything. I can’t thank him enough and would recommend to anyone. Accomodating

This tour was the highlight of our time in Naples. Roberto was warm, kind, and passionate about his hometown. For a few unforgettable hours, he made us feel like locals—sharing the soul of the city through its food and culture. The tastings were fantastic: fresh mozzarella di buffala with ripe tomatoes, rich espresso, classic pizza margherita, and more! Roberto went out of his way to ensure everyone in our group—ranging in age from 8 to 77, including several vegetarians—felt included and well taken care of. If you’re planning a visit to Naples, don’t miss this tour. It’s a beautiful, delicious, and authentic experience. Thank you, Roberto, for an afternoon we’ll never forget!Highlight in Napoli
