(About local Gennaro )

12 June 2025

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!

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 an amazing food tour in Naples with Ettore! He’s a true Neapolitan and his passion for the city really showed throughout the tour. Not only did he introduce us to delicious local food, but he also shared so much about the history and monuments of Naples. It felt like walking through the city with a friend who knows everything about its culture and traditions. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Naples like a local! Ps: just a recommendation could be to have a rest for 10 minutes or so to eat the pizza portofolio :) Not just a food tour!

The food tour included a great historical and customs tour, and the guide was very knowledgeable of the local area. It was just my friend and I, so a very personalised tour. There was more street food than we expected, but generally delicious. We were glad to have done it the first day we arrived, as the guide had tips for the rest of our stay.street food tour

25 October 2024

We had a fun time exploring Naples with Donatella on the Culinary Kickstart Tour! She introduced us to Neapolitan food: street foods portafoglio and cuoppo; babà a favorite dessert and sfogliatelle a breakfast pastry. Although the tour was to have 6 food stops, after 3 stops we were so full that we spent the rest of the time touring the city center and historic area. She shared with us stories and insights which made our layover between Sorrento and Rome much more interesting and productive. Her warmth and genuine love for Naples made the experience extra special. I highly recommend this tour if you want to eat like a local while seeing the city!Fun Way to See Naples

(About local Federica )

3 October 2024

Our tour was booked in July which was 2 months before our trip. The night before we were to do this tour, I get a text from original tour guide saying he can't make it. He was able to secure another tour guide, but I did not know who it was until the morning of the tour (9/16) as I was traveling to Naples. Nothing like a little stress? Our tour guide we ended up with was fantastic. We purposely booked this tour the first day we were in Naples, so that we could learn something about the city and get a lay of the land. I have learned there is no better way to learn about a culture than by getting to know its food. Our tour took us down narrow streets as we learned the history of Naples and its culinary traditions. We tried cuoppo which my family calls the cone of fried food which was surprisingly yummy. We had the freshest buffalo mozzarella and we went back to the store later to get some more. We were taken into the pizzeria where we could watch where our Neopolitan pizza was made and cooked. It was here that we also were able to eat fried pizza. And one of the most enjoyable stops was when we went to a little shop to try ragu and we got to interact with one of the employees. Our tour guide was generous and if there was anything we wanted to try or have scones of, we could. Our tour guide turned a day that started stressful as to not knowing who our tour guide was going to be to a fun and relaxing afternoon. Eating our way through Naples

We had a truly wonderful tour with Alessandro. He revealed layer after layer of the city to us. It was apparent that he tailored the tour to respond to our interest, showing us the hidden secrets of the architecture and such an interesting insight into the social history of the city. And the food of course was wonderful!!! Alessandro was charming, relaxed and super knowledgeable. Do not miss this. We only wish before we arrived that we had known his Wife ran pizza cooking courses as we would have booked with her instead of elsewhere. Thank you Alessandro, Naples has rather stolen our hearts! Superb insight into a wonderful city.

(About local Paolo)

17 August 2024

We recently had a tour with Paolo, who was very kind and accommodating. We chose the experience with 6 tasting. He informed us that August 15th is a national holiday in Italy, meaning fewer restaurants would be open. Despite this, we couldn’t change our plans and went ahead with the tour. So instead of going in the market area we stayed in the central region of Naples. The tour itself was interesting, but for the price we paid, the food provided was minimal. We were four adults sharing a portion meant for two. First tasting was a small bowl of bocconcini we had to share, then we stopped at a place where the drinks were 1euro while we were waiting for 2 pasta dishes we shared amongst the 4 of us. Wine was also offered at the same store that did the drinks. The wine was quite disappointing, which was surprising for Italy. It felt like the guide’s goal was to spend as little as possible. We then stopped for sweets and had our own pastry which was recommended by Paolo. I was looking at another pastry but it was 2 euros more, Paolo brought this extra pastry to share amongst the 4 of us. We also enjoyed coffee. Although Paolo offered to order more, it felt a bit awkward as we would expect we would not have to ask. On a positive note, Paolo kindly offered to drive my parents back to the hotel, which we appreciated. Overall, while the experience was pleasant, we felt it was overpriced for the culinary experience we received. Knowing what we know now, we wouldn’t have booked it. I have read from other people’s comments they ate too much food and it was not our case.Street food tour

Our tour took us down narrow streets and into stores we wouldn't have even spotted. Our guide knew the streets, restaurants and people so well and made us feel very special. Our group contained a cheese-hater and a pescatarian and adaptations were made without hesitation. We learned about the city's history as well as her culinary traditions. The food was delicious and a great introduction to food in Naples. I was very pleased we booked this for our first day so we can make the most of the great recommendations. Neapolitan food is more than great pizza!

We loved our walking tour with Nino. We enjoyed the combination of history and food! Nino pointed out so many things about Naples that we would have missed on our own. We even strolled by a plaque of a famous Italian who shares my last name and Nino knew all about him! It was very impressive. We loved that Nino knew all about the history the dishes as well as the city. Nino was very gracious with his time and made sure we had fun. I have a new perspective on Naples because of Nino and we hope to return one day to do more! Grazie, Nino!Lovely stroll and eats with wonderful Nino

Alessandro is very passionate about his home town! He showed us so many interesting things that are pretty hidden unless you know where to look. We knew Naples was known for food, but Alex went way beyond a basic food tour and was able to weave culture and history into the tour and keep it interesting. We did tours in Rome, the Vatican, Pompei, and Barcelona, and our 18 year old said this tour was the highlight of our trip. If you travel with a 17-19 year old, you know this is high praise. Lolll. We did a tour today in Barcelona and met some new friends. As soon as they said they were going to Naples, I recommended Alex right away! I’ll continue to recommend him to anyone who’s headed to Naples. Alex…thank you so much for making our day in Naples one that we will never forget. Let us know if you ever move to the states and open up a fried pizza place. We can be business partners.😉 Would give more than 10 if I could!!

Our recent tour with Gennaro was truly exceptional. He is a knowledgeable, attentive to details, and always made sure everyone felt included and informed. What stood out most was his habit of sharing options with us, carefully explaining the pros and cons of each choice so we could make the most of our time and avoiding the heat. As someone who often worries about missing out on important sights or experiences, I felt completely at ease with Gennaro. Thanks to his thoughtful approach and genuine passion for his work. It’s clear that Gennaro loves his job it’s not just a daily routine for him, but something he truly cares about. That made all the difference and turned our tour into an unforgettable experience. Gennaro was also very smart and patient in dealing with our high-maintenance 8-year-old girl. He engaged her with kindness and creativity, making sure she felt included and entertained throughout the tour. His ability to connect with children, especially those with extra needs, was impressive and deeply appreciated by our family.Memorable

Davide tailored the tour perfectly to our interests and gave us excellent information and guidance without being overbearing. We never felt rushed and the combination of guided/personal time was perfect. We had an absolute blast and could not recommend this tour, with Davide, more.Amalfi with Davide

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!
