Gennaro was very knowledgeable and interesting. In our short time together we had a wonderful introduction to the city of Napoli. Unfortunately, I accidentally booked the tour twice. I was told to let With Locals know but I have not been able to figure out how to communicate this to them. With Locals should make it easier to reach out to them for help. Wonderful Preview to Beautiful Napoli

Die Führung war ein super Start in unseren Neapel Aufenthalt. Danach haben wir die Stadt dann noch weiter erkunden können und durch die Führung ein super Überblick erhalten, Ecken gerade auch im spanischen Viertel gezeigt bekommen, die wir sonst nicht gesehen hätten. Wir haben besonders die Gespräche gefallen über die Geschichte in Neapels und auch die soziologische Betrachtung der derzeitigen Gesellschaft und politischen Verhältnisse. Das war deutlich mehr, als man üblichen Stadtführung erwarten darf.Super Führung!

11 March 2025

What truly made my experience with Gennaro special was the unique combination of his local insights—as someone born and raised in the city—and the global perspective he brings as an expat and someone who's lived abroad. With his excellent English, charming personality, and endless knowledge of local history and stories, Gennaro revealed the city's secrets and led us through a couple of magical hours exploring the streets of the most beautiful city in the world (a title Gennaro insists on!). In addition, he's fun, funny, easygoing, full of engaging stories, and incredibly flexible—both with timing and when plans inevitably change. Highly recommended!Gennaro el Fantástico!

He spent extra time explaining things that were of particular interest to us and it was the perfect way to learn about the history of Naples and the city as it is today. Before we finished he gave us his restaurant tips and advice to navigate our trip. Grazie Gennaro Discover Naples

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely amazing experience with Genaro as our guide in Naples! From the moment we met him, he was friendly, funny, charming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems. He brought the city to life in such an engaging and entertaining way, making every moment memorable. Genaro’s passion for Naples was contagious, and his storytelling made us feel truly connected to the place. He kept us laughing, learning, and thoroughly enjoying ourselves throughout the tour. Without a doubt, our time with him made the entire trip worth it. We can’t recommend Genaro enough — if you’re ever in the area- don’t miss it!!!Genaro - bravissimo

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 didn’t 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

(About local Noemi)

3 November 2023

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 ​​appassionato amico. Speriamo di rivederti.Naples with a Passion!

Don't miss out on Napoli’s post-pandemic 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 ship— pizza neapolitana with pockets of fresh ricotta baked into the crust, calamari fritti from a fishmonger’s 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 Napolí 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 disappoint— the college students and history buffs in our group were very pleased! Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water— depending on your group’s ability, you may cover a lot of territory! Wow! College students and parents pleaser!

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. Raffaele’s 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. I’m 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

What a knowledgeable and passionate guide! The charming and enthusiastic Raffaele added a great deal of value to our walking tour of “monumental” 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
