Gennaro was fabulous. We have a 7 and 11 year old. It was a super hot day with young children yet he managed to keep my wife and I interested as well as the kids. He also provided guidance outside of the tour for some excellent restaurants and sights to see. So glad we started our trip to Naples with a Tour with Gennaro. Great experience for the whole family

We had a great tour with lots of information given on the history of the place and where we should visit. She gave us recommendations for eating and the fish restaurant down by the Marina was fantastic. We also tried many of the Napoli snacks and gelato so it was a fun tour of only 1.5 hours.
It might have been slightly helpful if Connie had stopped to tell all the group of the site she was describing but she had a lot to show us in the time and so she didnβt have much time to wait until the group where all together!
Charming tour guide, very enthusiastic would be very happy to book with her again.Great tour of Spanish Quarter of Naples

I had a long flight connection in Napoli, so decided to use time efficiently and book a guide in order to see more things and to dive into a history of Napoli, the city of contrasts. Gennaro was amazing guide, who is doing his job from all his heart and you can feel it ))) I booked a standard tour, but Gennaro change it a little bit (after discussing with me of course) to make my experience in Napoli more full and unforgettable. We had great time, we talked about history on Naples, about life in Naples and had conversation jut about life, as it is. So if you want a guide and just a person who can keep you a great company - I highly recommend to choose Gennaro as your guide in Naples.Amazing 6 hours in Napoli!

We wanted to experience a food tour of Naples and didn't have much time but Gennaro made it happen! He walked us around to a few places .. gave us some history with food tastings along way. We have kids (9, 12, 14) and we all enjoyed it! Food amazing! Our short time was the perfect amount of food plus history plus seeing that area of the city. Highly highly recommend!!! Thank you Gennaro for making it work given our small window - was perfect!Perfect For Our Family Of 5

Noemi was like a whirlwind when we met up. She was very friendly and her English was very good.
The Ice Breaker was getting me to traverse the Piazza del Plebiscito Blindfolded, as prisoners were reputed to have attempted in order to gain their freedom. (I nearly made it).
Noemi was so passionate about her city, and described how it came to be as it is now, from the earliest formative volcanos, to the socio political struggles through the ages. She really brought the place to life. The "Shrine" to Maradona was a surprise, as was the varied graffiti art around the Spanish Quarter. We loved the 'Nini, Toto, Peppi" Story. Hilarious!! The Naples equivalent to "Morecambe and Wise" we think.
She rounded off the tour at the most amazing Pizza restaurant "Vincenzo Capuano", where you were given golden Scissors to cut into your Pizza.
We have come away with a desire to return and explore more of Noemi's city.
Grazie mille, mio ββappassionato amico. Speriamo di rivederti.Naples with a Passion!

renaissance as locals and foreigners rediscover this this vibrant historic city. We booked the Kickstart introduction to Naples tour, and had a wonderful 2 hours full of local culture, history, architecture, and of course, food. Gennaro gave us delicious and inexpensive recommendations for a memorable lunch in the local market before we boarded the cruise shipβ pizza neapolitana with pockets of fresh ricotta baked into the crust, calamari fritti from a fishmongerβs stand, pastry and espresso. Whether you have many weeks or just one half day in Napoli, book the short Kickstart tour or the Highlights tour with Gennaro to understand and experience NapolΓ past and present and get all the fabulous local food recommendations your stomach can handle.Napi

Dario was incredibly knowledgeable regarding the history of Naples and explained everything really well. We only had 1 1/2 hour tour in the morning but then he gave us really good suggestions how to see the important parts of the city for the rest of the day so that we could make the most of our short stay in Naples. On top of that he helped us out with our visit to Pompeii and onward travel to Sorrento. Would highly recommend.Excellent tour

Our family of four adults had a great experience with Raffaele on the Naples Kick Off tour. Raffaele took us by several attractions (Galleria Principi, Royal Palace, Castel Nuovo, Spanish Quarter, Gesu Nuovo, etc) while delivering history, architectural, and visitor information in an easygoing and interactive style. I picked Raffaele as our guide based on his history background and he did not disappointβ the college students and history buffs in our group were very pleased!

Raffaele was absolutely wonderful. A gentleman, who knew the history of this great city. We had no idea that out tour would be so interesting and fun when our cruise ship changed course and ditched amalfi to dock in Naples. The withlocals site was fabulous since it gave the bios of the tour guides and offered PayPal. Raffaeleβs bio was as impressive as he was. We learned and saw so many interesting sites in Naples that we are
now talking about having him help us with a five day vacation there! We highly recommend him. He lead the way but also stopped for us to enjoy pastries too and then went out of his way to make sure we got back to our ship. Iβm looking forward to using the with locals site again! The perfect fit!

I visited Napoli with my mother, aunt and grandmother. Since it was our first time in Napoli, we opted for the "City Kickstart Tour" with Raffaele. We loved our time walking through the city streets listening to Raffaele's explanations. He's extremely prepared and you can feel the love he has for his City. He took the time to show us some hidden treasures and to adapt the tour to our needs. On top of historical facts, we got to know local anecdotes and pills of folklore. 100% recommended!Lovely Afternoon in Naples

We easily flowed into and out of some of the most enigmatic historical sites of Naples around Piazza Plebiscito, gaining insight about the rulers and conflicts that yielded them. Raffaele is perfectly professional yet warm and personable. I have no hesitation recommending his tour, especially as an overview to start your stay in Naples. book a tour with Raffaele!

Rita was phenomenal. This is an energetic tour guide who knows her history, facts, and will tailor the tour to your desires. She asked what interested us, and really built the tour around this. For example, that last 30 minutes I asked where 30 something year olds like to grab a drink in the evenings. She helped us find our FAVOURITE area to hang out most evenings. Also great recommendations on food, and helped us arrange a few recommendations. Her one dinner recommendation always had a line out the door, and she let us know before that we should arrive an hour early, put in our names, and plan to walk around.
If you can book a tour with Rita - do it! She is phenomenal.Amazing, personalized tour

WIthin hours of landing in Naples for the first time, we met up with Roberto, who led us on the most wonderful walking tour of the city center. It was the perfect kick-off to a beautiful trip. Roberto was wonderful: knowledgeable, friendly and likable, English-speaking, a great story-teller covering architecture, history, culture, culinary traditions. He finished by mapping a bunch of additional recommended sights for us. We highly recommend Roberto - Bravissimo!Perfect intro to Napoli!

Raffaele is a storyteller like no other, who unfolded the history of the city of Naples before our eyes, as we walked and talked at a leisurely pace past all of the marvels and highlights. The tour by Raffaele allowed us to experience Naples in so many more layers of understanding, really reaching to the depth and width of its impressive culture, people and past. He effortlessly described historic links between Naples and the Netherlands (where we are from), and made references to popular songs, music and other contemporary cultural expressions (that also our 12-year old daughter could easily relate to). While it seems quite a steep investment to make at first, the tour is really worth every penny of it. You will know and feel where you've actually been.

Raffaele is an erudite historian and energetic guide and raconteur. The narrative part of his tour was both substantive and enjoyable. He kindly answered our questions and even made adjustments along the way to adjust to our interests. It was definitely time well spent!Great tour with Raffaele
Mit Serena haben wir in den anderthalb Stunden die Altstadt durchlaufen. Dabei gab sie uns viele Hinweise, um sich zurechtzufinden. Die Altstadt ist eng und sehr voll. Dieser Einstieg war daher wichtig fΓΌr die eigenen Orientierung, als wir dann allein unterwegs waren. Sehr viele Tipps gabs zum typischen Essen und den Lokalen. Wir waren auch im spanischen Viertel und wurden immer wieder mit dem Kult um Diego Maradona konfrontiert, fΓΌr mich zu prominent bei der FΓΌhrung. Einige historische PlΓ€tze haben wir auf dem Weg mit berΓΌhrt, so den Palazzo Reale, zu dem wir spΓ€ter im Rahmen einer abendlichen Γffnung zurΓΌckgekehrt sind. Serena gab uns gute Hinweise, wie wir auf den Vomero gelangen, um Neapel von oben zu sehen. Mit ihr hatten wir eine sehr sympatische, aufgeschlossene FΓΌhrerin, lustig und zu jeder Frage auskunftsbereit. Es war eine vΓΆllig richtige Entscheidung, unseren Aufenthalt in Neapel mit dieser indivduellen FΓΌhrung zu beginnen.Gelungener Einstieg in den Takt von Neapel
