Perfect pace, fun, informative and friendly. we have been to Sorrento 3 times before but decided to have a tour just to see what we had been missing - it turns out quite a lot - but Alessandra gave us the most intersting tour, taking particular note of our request not to go to far or too fast - and it was just right. We found Alessandra to be a truly warm and lovely person and showed us all that we had been missing, introduced us to new places and things to do. - Many thanks Alessandra.Perfect Tour

My wife and I came to Napoli for the first time and Gennaro treated us to a lovely experience. I found Gennaro on with locals and he was highly reviewed. He is very knowledgeable and was very helpful to planning our vacation. We met up for a mixed food and city discovery tour with Gennaro. He took us both by foot and in vehicle to see some of the most amazing sites. He took us down some paths less traveled, some incredible scenic views, and through the hustle bustle must see areas of Napoli. The multiple food stops along the way really was some incredible delicacies of sweet savory and of course, fried. After eating the multigenerational real deal Neapolitan pizza, I don’t think I can ever have pizza anywhere else again. Book with Gennaro and you’ll have a wonderful experience seeing the best that Naples has to offer.
Genaro was always available for contact for our additional needs both in Naples and Capri. My wife and I will treasure our time spent in Italy thanks to our new friend Gennaro. See the real Napoli with Gennaro!

It’s very difficult to put into words our tour with Gennaro, as I was quite moved by the end of it. Gennaro highlighted the complexities of this incredible city as he guided us around. He sees the city from the eyes of a local, but also from the eyes of an outsider, thanks to time he also spends away from Naples. He explained Naples’ history, how it developed, and how it works today. We walked the main streets, wandered the Spanish Quarter and also took the Funicular to see a truly amazing view of sprawling Naples. We learnt about the light and shade of the city, cultural elements, superstition, religion, food, music, tourism and education. Gennaro is so passionate about Naples and we were incredibly grateful for the time we spent with him (we also did a pizza making class and food tour with Gennaro - all incredible). I would highly recommend this to anyone!Incredible and Unforgettable Tour

We had a great experience on the 10 Tastings of Napoli tour with Gennaro! He was a gracious and enthusiastic host, truly passionate about his hometown and excited to share it with our family. Gennaro was patient, kind, and had a great sense of humor, which made the tour both fun and engaging-especially in the heat with a 14yr old boy!!
There is a lot of delicious food. Each stop offered a unique taste of Naples, and Gennaro added rich stories and context that made everything even more enjoyable.
We walked away with full stomachs and a deeper appreciation for the culture and cuisine of Naples. Highly recommend this tour—and especially Gennaro!Perfect way to explore Napoli!

Thank you again for that wonderful afternoon in Napoli, Gennaro!
We were first timers to Naples and had only a short stay of two days. After our tour with Gennaro we had a much deeper insight insight in this lively city, packed with 2500 years of history. He really loves his home town and showed us around as welcome guests.
There were many highlights in the tour like watching the pizza maker and having the same pizza minutes after that in perfect style.
Gennaro is very knowledgeable in history and food and all you need to know about Naples. We couldn’t think about a better guide for this place!Wonderful stroll through Naples

If you’re visiting Naples and want to experience the heart and soul of the city, look no further than Gennaro. From the moment we met him, his passion for his city and his country was infectious. He wasn’t just a tour guide—he quickly became a part of our journey, and by the end, a forever friend.
Gennaro curated a perfect blend of delicious local food and rich historical insight. Every stop on our food tour introduced us to the best flavors Naples has to offer, and every landmark came alive with the stories he shared. His deep knowledge, warm personality, and genuine care made each moment meaningful.
We always felt welcomed, safe, and truly seen—not just as tourists, but as guests in his beloved city. Our memories of Naples are now filled with laughter, connection, and flavors we’ll never forget.
We can’t wait to return—and when we do, we know exactly who we’ll be calling. Grazie mille, Gennaro!An Unforgettable Experience with Gennaro

Gennaro led our food tour with such passion, charisma, and heart—it truly elevated our Naples experience. Without him, we would’ve been lost in the chaos, missing out on the city’s best-kept culinary secrets. From the creamiest buffalo mozzarella to the perfect Neapolitan pizza (a true cherry on top), every bite was unforgettable. And the meloncello? A taste I’ll be writing home about for years!
Gennaro’s warmth and multilingual charm made everyone feel included—especially our older companion, who was thrilled to converse in her native language. This wasn't just a tour; it felt like exploring Naples with an old friend. Grazie mille, Gennaro—you turned our trip into something truly magical! Naples tour made unforgettable!

Gennaro is one of the best tour guides I've ever had. He is passionate, friendly, kind, entertaining and knowledgeable. We ended our tour with Gennaro with full bellies and even fuller hearts for our appreciation for our time with him getting to know Naples from a local's perspective. We were a group of 5 people - ages ranging from 7 to 74 and Gennaro managed to accommodate and please us all. This is a no brainer - book any tour with Gennaro, and it will be money well spent. Exploring Naples with Gennaro is a must!

An incredibly fun and fascinating morning spent with Gennaro. He thoughtfully rang me in London a couple of days before to sound out what we wanted to get from the tour, so by the time we met on Saturday morning I felt we were already friends! We learned so much about the city, and of course the food stops were exemplary. Would love to do it all over again next weekend!THE best introduction to Napoli

We had a group of eight of us on our historical walking tour and pizza-making class with Gennaro. I can't express how incredible our experience was! In all, we spent four hours with Gennaro, first with a walking tour of the Old Town, where we learned about the millenia of history that make Naples what it is today. We had two kids in our group, ages 10 and 12, and Gennaro did an exceptional job of making sure they followed everything and were involved in every detail (like when we went into a special shop that makes very unique Neapolitan nativities out of cork) and had all their questions answered. We learned about the historical gates of the city and went to the old fish and food market street. It seemed like everywhere we went, everyone knew Gennaro! He was kind, fun, and took every details into consideration and control, which was great in a city as busy and sometimes overwhelming as Naples! There are so many words that I can use to describe how amazing the pizza-making class was at Gennaro's apartment, but here are just a few: delicious, special, memorable, fun. I would take that class again! We all learned so much and enjoyed every moment of it. In all, I can't recommend Gennaro highly enough. Your group will enjoy your time with him! And we thank Gennaro for helping us with details that made our day in Naples even easier, such as helping to manage our luggage storage and transport. I give this tour a score of 100%!Unforgettable, delicious, amazing!

We are history enthusiasts that were keen to have a more detailed tour of Naples & its founding origins.
For this reason we sort out a guide that had an in-depth knowledge of Naples history and not the basic history.
Gennaro was charming, relaxed and comprehensive with our tour, accommodating my wife’s inability to walk long distances ( with frequent breaks at cafes.)
Gennaro covered not just the written history but frequent anecdotes about historical figures and their influence in the city’s formation.
Gennaro is an entertaining conversationalist. Well worth the time & very reasonable tour price.
Highly recommended.Magnificent Gennaro

What a fantastic tour. Gennaro is warm, genuine, knowledgeable, funny and engaging. He loves sharing his hometown of Napoli, not as a tour, but rather an experience. I felt like walking through a new town with a dear friend, whom we knew only for a few hours. The 3-hour tour flew by as we sampled some of Napoli’s famous foods… mozzarella, cuoppo, taralli, pasta, sfogliatelle, limoncello, espresso and, of course, pizza. Tge food on its own was spectacular, but Gennaro made this a truly special experience. One I will remember for and Cheri’s for the rest of my life. Thank you Gennaro. I hope our paths will cross again someday!Gennaro is #1!

Good communication with Gennaro who offered to take us from our hotel in Pompeii to Ravello. A good organiser and we did all we wanted without stress. We had coffee in a cafe near a car park in Positano and walked around without too many steps involved! He found a great restaurant by the sea in Amalfi and dropped us off, right by it. A good, safe driver, fun to be with and we enjoyed his company. He managed to find olive oil for me to taste & buy and on a photo stop, we experienced an engagement! A great day.

We were in the Naples region for a few days and discovered Gennaro through Viator and a YouTube video and we instantly knew we had to book one of his experiences.
We chose his pizza class after a friend of ours took his amazing food tour two weeks earlier. Just like she told us, Gennaro went above and beyond. He’s not just a guide — he’s a storyteller, a chef, and a true ambassador of Naples. He made us feel completely welcome, especially taking great care of my friend who has a knee injury.
Before the pizza-making, he guided us through a local market where we tasted street food, learned about traditional ingredients, and soaked in the energy of everyday Neapolitan life.
Then came the hands-on part: kneading dough, learning real techniques, and baking in the oven.
By the end, we weren’t just eating pizza — we were part of Gennaro’s Naples. Just like so many other people have said in their glowing reviews — now we totally get it!
Everything was perfect: warm, delicious, and made with heart.
If you’re visiting Naples, Capri, or the Amalfi Coast — in short, if you’re in “Gennaro’s region” — don’t miss the chance to book one of his unforgettable experiences.
We’ll never forget it.
Thank you, Gennaro!

If you're heading to Napoli and looking for an unforgettable food experience, stop scrolling and book a class with Gennaro right now! I had the absolute pleasure of spending a few hours with him in what turned out to be the highlight of my entire trip to Italy.
Gennaro is a passionate storyteller, a true local, and someone who genuinely loves sharing the soul of his city. This wasn't just a pizza class – it was a deep dive into Neapolitan culture, history, and, of course, incredible food. All in all, the pizza class was the perfect mix of learning and laughter — super informative and tons of fun!
We started with a walk through a local market, where Gennaro pointed out his favorite ingredients and shared stories about Naples' food traditions. Then we moved to his kitchen space, where we learned how to make real Neapolitan pizza from scratch – dough, sauce, the perfect stretch, cooking, everything!
But the best part? Sitting down at a big table, like part of his family, and enjoying our creations alongside some amazing local wine! Gennaro made sure we tasted things I would never have discovered on my own. I left full, happy, and already dreaming of coming back.
This isn’t just a food experience, it’s your chance to meet Gennaro, the heart and soul of Neapolitan hospitality. If you have even few hours in Napoli, look for him!!!
Thank you, Gennaro – I’ll be back, and I’m bringing friends!True taste of Napoli more than Pizza Class

If you're coming to Sorrento and would like a special food tour, I encourage to consider Giovanni at WithLocals.com. His laid back style fits perfect with the chill vibe of the coast. As a native son of the city, his knowledge of all things Sorrento is vast.
Giovanni exposed us to much more than Sorrento’s food, he explained its history, took us to see a fourth-generation wood artisan, gave us tips about tours and showed us sights that are not usually seen when people visit the area. If this is your first trip to the city it is a great way to get acclimated and get the most out of your visit.
The Food: I am a bit obsessed about Italian cuisine, and the tour exposed me to more things that I did not know. At our second stop we went to Caseficio Aprede Francesco. We sampled meats and cheeses from the region. I discovered that I love Salame Napoletano. It’s a pork sausage with a slightly smoky flavor, but with an underlying sweetness. We had that with two cheeses, a Provolone del Monaco and a Foridilatte. The latter is similar to a mozzarella cheese but comes exclusively from whole cow’s milk. Caseficio produces it in-house daily. The Provolone is produced locally and has also has a savory, buttery texture that pairs great with the salame. If you have tasted provolone from other areas, you will really like this version. Topping off this stop was a wonderful biscuit known as Tarallo. They are seasoned with lard, brandy, aniseed and other flavorings and then shaped into a circle. They are dry, but oh so savory and are great with wine. So perfect!
Our next stop was a family-owned restaurant featuring gnocchi. Coincidentally, it is called Gnocchi, osteria di famiglia. We tasted the pride of Sorrento the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. They first sautéed their gnocchi in tomato sauce, Parmesan, and fresh basil, before baking it in the oven more Parmesan and mozzarella which forms a crispy crust. Yes, there was more wine.
We had three other stops: one to try a pasty called Baba, which was a rum-soaked cake shaped like a cork. I am not a sweet person, but my wife loved it and she is a pastry aficionado. Another was at a coffee shop called Gentile Café. Their Neapolitan espresso coffee was really strong with a deep, dark roast. They served their coffee with this Lemon Cake with sweet lemon drizzle that was light despite a copious amount of sugar. Again, my wife approved wholeheartedly.
I will finish this review properly, at the Limoncello shop. This liquor is ubiquitous in the region and in downtown Sorrento it is everywhere. We sampled five different kinds of Limoncello, and ate Limoncello cookies, candies, and other products. I think I got drunk in four minutes (not really).
We went over our tour time by over 30 minutes, yes Giovanni checked with us if that was ok. We were having fun listening to his families stories and experiences in his hometown. He still spends the tourist season in Sorrento and then goes back to Naples where his family lives now. He started his own tour company there, so apparently we need to go eat pizza for a day with him. Oh no, what will we do?!? Sign up for his tours – you will be really happy to meet someone with a passion for the tastes of southern Italy along Amalfi Coast and beyond.Exceptional Sorrento Food Tour

We loved our time with Gennaro - he is such a warm person with a huge amount of knowledge of not only food in Naples but also its history and culture. We had our 9 year old son on the tour and Gennaro kept him completely engaged (which is a hard thing to do), without ever talking down to him. The food was great and portions were so generous that we couldn’t eat for the rest of the day. We would highly recommend Gennaro’s tours to others. One of our favourite days in Italy

Where to start? I don’t think our words can do Gennaro the justice he deserves. So rather than write a review, we’re writing a thank you to the best tour guide we’ve ever experienced!!!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for an unforgettable experience in Naples. As visitors from Canada, we couldn’t have imagined a warmer welcome or a more passionate guide. Your love for this city shone through in every story you shared, every hidden gem you revealed, and every slice of incredible pizza you led us to. You didn’t just show us the sights — you gave us a true connection to Naples, its soul, and its people.
We’ll carry those memories (and flavours!) with us always. We feel so lucky to have had you as our guide.
Grazie mille, truly and we really hope our paths cross again.

Gennaro is a wealth of area knowledge and my husband and I learned so much from him. He showed us so many hidden gems and is a great driver to boot. Lunch was seaside with a wonderful view. It was one of our favorite meals we had in Naples. I wish we had more time in Naples to spend more touring hours with Gennaro. Until we meet again! Ciao Ciao Gennaro! Thank you. Wonderful tour with Gennaro!
