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

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.

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.

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!!

We had a great time with Gennaro. He really made us feel like we were part of the city and enjoyed walking around the streets, enjoying the sights, sounds and tastes of local Napoli.
It was very informative and we learned a lot and after the tour we really felt familiar with the place as well as a good feel for where we were.
This was our first day and after the tour we already had a good idea where we wanted to go next and what to do.
Many thanks Gennaro.

Fabiana gave us an excellent food tour in the city of Naples! She was very knowledgeable and related well to our family. The food we tried covered a wide variety from a fish, market and fresh fruit and vegetable market to cheese, two pizza and pasta and more! We explored out of the way places we never would have found on our own. It would have been nice to have perhaps a bit more history behind some of the food, but overall, it was a great experience!Wonderful experience!

My husband and I book a food tour whenever we visit a new city. Our tour in Naples with Frederica, was a small group with just the three of us which was wonderful. Frederica took into consideration that my husband is a vegetarian and provided options for him. We were taken off the beaten path to areas where locals shop and eat. We tasted food that were specific to the area and while walking between food destinations learned some history of Naples.
We spent a fabulous few hours with Frederica and would absolutely recommend this tour.

We are a young couple on our early 30s from Spain. We did two amazing tours with Gennaro, one by walking and one by car, the first at the historical centre of Naples (including the Decumani, Pignasecca market and the Quartieri Spagnoli, plus recommendations for other areas) and the second outside of the city, through the Amalfi coast. It was our first time doing something like this, and Gennaro has exceeded all our expectations. Everything you can read on the reviews is true: he goes above and beyond to give you the best of Naples, whether you’re looking for culture, food, history or entertainment. My recommendation is that you get in touch with him and tell exactly what you’re looking for, and he will provide. The tour at Naples was the best introduction possible to the city in just a few hours, while the Amalfi tour was the most beautiful day-trip that we could have asked for. Everything was 10 out of 10. His knowledge of the region, his recommendations and honesty, his sense of humour, even his driving! Thanks so much for your time and dedication, Gennaro. We really hope to meet you in Naples again!
Si eres español y entiendes más o menos el inglés o el italiano, tengas la edad que tengas, no te vas a arrepentir de hacer cualquier tour con Gennaro, merece la pena cada céntimo y te da una visión de Nápoles que no está ni en las guías, ni en blogs de internet y por supuesto tampoco está en Instagram. Escríbele, le cuentas lo que más te interesa de la ciudad (sabe de comida, sabe de historia…), y él te monta un tour de 10. El mejor!!! The best decision of our trip to Naples!

We visited Napoli for 3 days; we heard so good about Napoli: its history, food and authenticity! We start looking for some tours, was plenty of guides and sites, but finally we found Gennaro and we booked a pizza class with him on this site!
It was one of the most fun, nice, interesting, engaging experience we had in all our trips!!
The pizza class was professional and at same time interesting! We ate the pizza we made and was so tasty and fulfilling! While sharing with us all the secrets for making our ow authentic napoletan pizza, Gennaro was also telling us history of food in Napoli and history of the city!
He his so professional, knowledgeable, fun, and so easy to interact! As time passes we were convinced that all the reviews we red on this site they were not just true but they were excactly describing the personality of Gennaro!
We felt after few minutes that we found a fantastic guide but also a new friend!
Not only: his passion for Napoli made us choosing him as our guide for the rest of our days in Napoli: 3 days and 3 days touring with Gennaro!
He was always on time, always showing all the attention with small deteils, very dedicated to us! The way he showed the city: historical part mixed with the hidden gems he selected for us was one of the highlights of our entire trip to italy!
We already wrote a lot ! We could much more
We just want to thank Gennaro for sharing with us his city! In all meanings and all the aspects
History, hidden gems, beauty, and of course food!
Last thing: The pizza class was an experience we will never forget! Gennaro made the experience for us like a show! You should put it in top 10 things to do in italy!

We had a great time with Armando. He knows a lot about the history of Naples and gave us an extensive insight about how the people live nowadays. We could easily trust ourselves on his guidance, he showed us places and flavours that we would never explore by on our own. We arrived with a baby, Armando was very flexible and could adapt to our daily routine without any problem. We absolutely recommend his guide to anyone who is curious about the authentic Napoli.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Gennaro. He picked us up at our AirBnb, which took the stress out of our morning. He told us all about the history of Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Our drive was relaxing, with beautiful views and commentary. Each stop was planned, so we could enjoy all of the sights, with time for extra exploring if we wanted. The food recommendations were perfect, and we visited the special pastry shop featured on Stanley Tucci’s Searching For Italy. We added an optional Wine and Food Pairing at a winery on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius. It was a special ending of a perfect day. Gennaro was extremely helpful when we had to change our travel plans the following day, due to an unexpected train strike. Truly a 5 star experience!!Perfect day in the Amalfi Coast!

I am writting a review for a Pizza Making Tour I took with my family in Naples. The host was Gennaro I want to say things like this. Gennaro is the perfect host, tour guide, friend and everythign else in the middle. I thought I was signing up for a pizza making class, and althought the pizza we made was phonminal, the tour was so much more than that. The passion that Gennaro deliveres about Naples is asthenic and contegious. He took us places and treated us to "Napoleon" treats that I woudl have other wise walked right past. I have travel the world, may times over. Visited over 60 country, and in all my travles we meet locals, enthroustic locals, locals that become friends. I knew fromt he moment that we met Gennaro, he would become a story for my family to talk about for a very long time.
ChatGPT said:
When I signed up for a pizza-making class in Naples, I thought I was getting a culinary lesson. While the pizza we crafted was absolutely phenomenal, what Gennaro delivered was so much more than a cooking class—it was a masterclass in passion, culture, and the essence of Naples itself.
Gennaro is the perfect host, tour guide, friend, and everything in between. From the moment we met him, it was clear this wasn’t just another activity; this was going to be an experience. His passion for his city is both authentic and contagious. He doesn’t just share Naples with you; he immerses you in it.
He led us through streets I might have otherwise passed by, introducing us to hidden gems, local delights, and unforgettable "Neapolitan" treats that brought the city to life. Every stop, every detail, was infused with Gennaro’s boundless enthusiasm and love for his hometown.
I’ve traveled extensively—over 60 countries and countless adventures—and I’ve met many locals who left lasting impressions. But Gennaro stands apart. From the moment we met, I knew he wouldn’t just be part of this trip but a story my family would cherish and retell for years to come.
If you’re looking for more than just a pizza-making class, if you want an unforgettable journey into the heart and soul of Naples, then Gennaro is your man. This experience is one of the highlights of all my travels, and I cannot recommend it enough.Pizza Making That Transcends Expectations

We were lucky enough to have booked Gennaro for a day long guided tour around Naples! We took the train down from Rome and went to the National Archeological Museum of Naples first thing in the morning. Then Gennaro met us outside the museum and began our day in Naples.
I know Naples has a reputation but the city is changing dramatically and we had one of the best days of our entire trip! Gennaro had his own car so he was able to take us to many places in and around the city...from the Bay of Naples to the heart of the city. We always felt safe walking around with him (Female). Even the hidden spots that were once much more "Sketchy", were a complete delight to stroll through. Gennaro was so knowledgeable about the city overall, the food, the places he took us to and the culture of the city both past and present. He's also just a lot of fun to hang out and spend time with! We laughed a lot :-D
He speaks great English and makes your day/tour so much richer!
Don't hesitate - Book Gennaro and have an amazing time in Napoli!
Tip: Go to Napoli before it really changes and gets super crowded like other areas in Italy. You won't be disappointed. Best Day with Gennaro in Naples!

We have had the best tour around the backstreets and bars and eateries of old town Naples and I can seriously say I could not eat another thing after the tour!
We had so much great food and our guide was fantastic in telling us all the history about Naples and the food and also answering any questions we had.
We are actually staying not far from where we did the tour and we have been back to a number of the places we ‘discovered’ on the tour we enjoyed them so much.Come Hungry!
