100% Private day trip by car - Only your group and Rita
Capture beautiful landscapes that will leave you breathless
What you can expect
This is a unique private day trip by car, discovering two of the most charming medieval villages of the Campania region: Montesarchio and Sant'Agate de' Goti!
We will reach both villages running along the mountains and hills of the beautiful Caudina Valley landscape.
Our first stop will be Montesarchio, a village on Mount Taburno slope. We will discover this gem together, its history, culture, and folklore. We'll visit the old part of the village, almost at the top of the mount, where some people still live. Once we reach the top, we'll find a tower that used once to be a prison and nowadays offers one of the most beautiful views of the Caudina Valley!
After visiting this beautiful village we will head to a typical agriturismo for lunch. Here we will try local specialties like various type of meat, mushrooms, cheese, and local wine!
With our belly full we will head over to Sant'Agata de' Goti, on the opposite side of Mount Taburno. The old part of the city, founded during the Roman era, is located on a tuff cliff that can be reached from a bridge connecting the two sides, divided by the Isclero river. Sant'Agata is a maze of alleys and old fashioned houses, strolling in the city is like going back in time. Here, looks like time never passed as even the locals are used to a more simple life. Very special to the city is the Cathedral which was founded in 970, and we won't miss it!
These little villages in the inner part of Campania are just waiting to be discovered! Jump with me in an adventure discovering these two little but precious gems Campania has to offer!

Itinerary
This is what our experience could look like, but it’s not set in stone! Once you book, you can chat directly with your host to make small tweaks to suit your preferences.
START
We will meet in Piazza Garibaldi Central Station! Hop on my car and be ready to start your voyage into a fairytale...
Hop & Go
By car we will leave Naples' hustle behind, and head towards Campania's rural areas. On the way I will share with you more about life in my region and city, our culture and folklore.
Castled away
Let's discover the beautiful village of Montesarchio: its alleys and tiny squares, the water fountains and the cobblestones. The view on top of the hill will leave you speechless!
Lunch time
Let's stop for lunch in a typical family-run agriturismo nested in the heart of a Mediterranean valley. We will rest and fill our bellies with tasty and locally-produced delicacies. It will have the taste of tradition and nonna's love.
Like two peas in a pod
It's time to head to the second of the villages you will visit with me on this trip. Naples' countryside will surprise you one more time: Sant'Agata de' Goti offers wonderful views & unique peoples. Stroll back in time and get carried away by the magic of this real hidden gem!
END
I grant you will want to stay there forever, but it is time to head back to Naples. We will say goodbye in Piazza Garibaldi Central Station.

We did two outings with Rita while in Naples and they were both terrific. She is organized, has tons of information and has the best English of any guide we encountered in Italy. She is also an excellent driver.Young and Fun

We had a wonderful and relaxing day with Rita, seeing the medieval villages of Montesarchio and Sant'Agate dei Goti. It was great to get out of the city and see the countryside and villages that we certainly wouldn't have found on our own. She took us to a wonderful lunch overlooking the Taburno mountain in between the stops, making for a nice, relaxing pace. Rita has excellent English and is a wealth of knowledge on local history as well as places to visit, eat, and drink, giving us some good suggestions for our evening back in Naples. It was also a great experience to get to know a bit about Rita and her family. We felt like we were spending the day with a local friend. Thank you, Rita! A relaxing day with a local friend

Rita is a lovely guide however due to her last minute addition of her friend she lost her focus on us as a tour guide. Our mistake to agree to the addition. The cities were beautiful but the church was closed and therefore could not get in. Most of the town was closed for the afternoon so shopping was out too. I had to probe with questions to get information about sites along the way and the historical significance of the places we were shown. I think this would have been different if her friend was not with us. Disappointed

We had an interesting and enjoyable day with Rita who is a careful and skilled driver. She was very well informed about thee two very old villages and explained everything in very clear English. Rita is very vivacious and funny and it was also great to have the chance to ask about Italian politics and culture.A great day in the hills outside Napoli

We are so glad we booked this tour. It was nice to be on a private tour after two group tours in the same week. It was also great to be in villages in the mountain and nature as opposed to the beautiful coastal towns we also visited.
Rita was very attentive and kind enough to ensure that I had a gluten free lunch that also met our particular needs. Rita is knowledgeable, flexible in respect of any requests, smart, funny, friendly and is good at her job.
This tour is worth the money!
A fantastic day spent!

I had a great time with Rita outside neapels. She is a smart and interesting person and we had great conversations during our trip.
There was enough time for me to take my photos and enjoy the beauty of the villages. At the end we even had a small break for coffee and cake. Thanks very much for the great day Rita!Medieval Villages Day Trip

My husband and I spent a wonderful day with Rita visiting two small, quiet villages in the hills around Naples. Quite a change from the busy, noisy atmosphere of Naples. Rita is a good driver and has a comfortable car. She picked us up and returned us to our apartment which made everything so easy. We had coffee in the town square, a lovely lunch in a shady garden and a cool drink on a nice balcony overlooking a green valley.
Rita is a lively, charming person and made our tour fun. If you are looking for something different outside of Naples we highly recommend this tour with Rita.Exploring the countryside with Rita

We are so happy to have booked the Medieval Villages Day Trip with Rita! She provided an amazing opportunity for us to see a part of Italy we would not have been able to experience on our own. She picked us up at the port in a comfortable vehicle, and whisked us away for a day of adventure. We loved exploring the two villages with her - one with a medieval castle and museum, and the other with a really interesting church - and neither with even a hint of other tourists nearby! Both villages were like visiting a storybook and being inside your very own fairy tale - with beautiful scenes around each corner and gorgeous views of the Campagna region. The lunch stop was phenomenal as well - perhaps one of the best meals we experienced during our two weeks in Italy. She was such a great conversationalist and guide - it felt like we met up with an old friend for a day of exploring. We absolutely recommend this experience to other travelers who want to see something different and get beyond all the typical tourist sites. Gratzie mille, Rita!!Medieval Villages Tour with Rita

Mit Rita unternahm ich während meines einwöchigen Neapel-Aufenthalts zwei Toren: "Die echte Neapel-Tour: Straßenkunst, Kultur & Legenden" (2,5h) und "Charmante private Tagestour zu mittelalterlichen Dörfern" (7h). Zwei sehr lohnenswerte, anregende und zugleich entspannte Touren, aus denen ich wunderbare Eindrücke von der Stadt Neapel und dem Landesinneren Kampaniens mitnehmen konnte. Rita ist eine kompetente, kluge, verläßliche und einfach liebenswerte Begleitung. Grazie, Rita!Zwei wunderbare Touren, die mir in guter Erinnerung bleiben werden

Thanks to Rita, we immediately approached the spirit, culture and history of the city. In a simple, understandable but at the same time very human way, she conveyed to us her love for Naples. She answered all our questions, tried and managed to convey her enthusiasm to us. We highly recommend her.A wonderful introduction to

Rita was amazing from the start. We were running a few minutes behind as we were coming in to Naples just prior to our tour. As soon as we met with her, she was super friendly and nice, gave us a lot of historical info and took us to get excellent food. She even made recommendations for other places to eat during the rest of our time in Naples and all were excellent. I would repeat this tour again and again on future trips to Naples. We love you Rita. Great Tour, Rita is 10/10

We had a great family tour with Rita . It was great for all our family including our 2 boys aged 6 and 10, and learned about Naples, with lots of chat thrown in with an enjoyable tour . We ate and saw lots of things around Naples we wouldn't have known about without having Rita . Sweet familiy tour Naples

We booked a private culinary tour, Our guide Rita was very friendly and competent. But unfortunately the tour was not worth the money. We paid for two persons 150 EUR. The tour was announced to last 2 hours, but in fact it was 1.5 hrs. We tasted espresso, one small portion of candele alle genovese together, taralli and spritz for each of us. Two streetfood pizza and one bites of desserts baba for each of us. The price-value rating is very low.Culinary Food Tour through Naples

Wir trafen Rita am Dante Platz, von wo aus wir einen kulinarischen Rundgang durch die Altstadt antraten, mit vier kulinarischen Stopps, an denen wir mit kleinen neapolitanische Snacks und Getränken bewirtet wurden. Mit netten Gesprächen lernten wir die aktuelle Stadt Situation ganz nebenbei kennen.

Rita was super knowledgable about Naples, showing us all the hidden spots to grab a bite and even bars to visit later in the evening. She taught us lots of history in an engaging way through folk tales and stories. Overall we had a great time hanging out with her for the evening. It was a highlight of our trip and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Naples :)Great experience

We have taken a tour with With Locals before so I knew this would be perfect introduction to Naples.
And it was just that.
Rita was such a wonderful person and guide. Her knowledge and passion for all things Neopolitan was palpable- we even had a long discussion about Saint Maradona !
I can’t fault anything about the time we spent with Rita. We learned so much about areas that I have been to before but not not properly seen, if that makes sense. We tasted some great food and tried things we may not have tried had we not been introduced to them by Rita.
On our next visit to Naples I will be looking up other tours that Rita leads. Thank you so much.The perfect start to our trip

As we were a blank canvas talking about the history and culture of Napoli, Rita took us on a trip explaining the history of this lasagna city and showing us some fine places in the city mirroring the culture of young and old. You're not in a history lessons but on a date with a Napolitana who breaths Napoli. A little walk through Napoli

Our food tour with Rita was amazing. She was so friendly and engaging it was such a joy to spend the time with her. We tasted so many traditional foods from a variety of local shops, got history and information about the city along the way. Not only was the food tour fantastic, she also had so much other information to offer us being first time Naples visitors. She aptly named herself the Google of Naples! We would 100% recommend, and the next time we come back to Naples we're excited to book another tour with her.Wonderful experience, wonderful person!

We loved our food tour with Rita! Between stops for espresso, street food and pastries, Rita introduced us to monuments, shops and neighborhoods of Naples. Rita did a great job of relating the history and culture of Naples to the delicious treats we ate. A great introduction to Naples or just a way to get to know it better with a local.

Rita was an excellent host, and so knowledgeable that she was easily able to tailor the tour to accommodate our dog.
We saw exactly what we’d hoped for, the key sights of Napoli as well as some of the lessor known spots. She also capably answered all our questions, and was even happy to share some thoughts on where to visit as we travel further south in Italy.
Very highly recommended, and would happily use again as her knowledge is vast and could easily fill another 3 hours for us. Outstanding tour of Napoli

Rita was a prime example why this app works. She showed us around Naples explained history and customs. Which made us interested in Naples even more and regret the limited days.
She went beyond and helped us plan the other days as well to what was worth visiting in Naples.
10/10 will recommend Rita to all my friends going to Naples. Amazing Naples experience

Rita was totally brilliant. As well as being utterly adorable, she was so knowledgeable and passionate about her city. As well as the fascinating history and architecture of the incredible city of Napoli, she gave us ideas of how to spend the rest of our trip (we went to Sorrento). She also told us about some of the local food and while she was surprised at the area we were staying, we managed to find a local restaurant near our hotel that served the delicious genovese she had described 😊
Cannot recommend highly enough and a private tour, while a little more expensive, is definitely the way to go.Absolute best way to Naples.

More about me
Born and raised in Naples, I've always been in love with the city and its folklore. Especially, I love how inclusive the city is with everyone which led me to grow interest in talking to people from different parts of the world and studying foreign cultures and languages.
I'm always looking for new people to meet, learning from them and give something back from my culture and my city.
I also profoundly love Art and History, which is something I can experience in every alley, corner or in everything I eat everyday. That's what I hope to give to other people, to discover something new in every step, in every bite, sound or food's scent.
