We met up near our Airbnb in Chiaia and had a great few hours with Nino. Understanding all the layers of this chaotic city makes the beauty really shine through. He also gave many pointers to places to eat and visit on our own. 10/10!Great introduction ti Naples

This tour is by far the best way to see the Amalfi Coast in a day. We were extremely lucky to have Davide as our guide. 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

Nino was a fantastic guide and gave a dollop of history and a full serving of food. He took us to several places that we wouldn't have found on our own and, as another reviewer said, took us to a place with the easily best mozzarella we've ever had. We also learned a lot about Neapolitan cuisine. I can't recommend it highly enough; you'll really enjoy your time walking, talking, and eating with Nino as your guide!The best food tour we've ever been on!

We had the pleasure of experiencing a 10 tasting tour with Nino in Naples. It was full in terms of history and food and stories with many stops. Savory and sweet and robust - the experience and the food and conversation! I will let you be surprised with the various locales, yet I can tell you that i enjoyed them all. Importantly, he was an excellent at guiding directions as well as sequencing of the food tour. Would highly recommend ... Nino $ Naples - great combo for food tour

Where do I start? Nino was an amazing tour guide. We picked him because in his bio he said he was a foodie and boy did he deliver. Naples was a busy city with tons of places to eat. Nino took us to all the small places we would have never stopped in. We ate the best “Real” Italian mozzarella of our lives. Not sure I will ever see mozzarella the same again after eating such an amazing cheese. There is so much more I could say but this review would be pages long. We’ve been to a lot of food tours over several different countries. Naples had the best food we’ve ever had hands down. Book Nino you will not be disappointed. The best food tour we’ve had

Mariagrazia was a perfect guide for the day. She met us at our hotel in Naples and worked with us on the agenda for the day. We did not have any "must do" for the day but were able to describe our idea of a "good day" and she did the rest. The whole day was amazing. Mariagrazia was full of information about the region. She navigated the roads, stops, and restaurant for us. I really only have glowing things to say about the experience. She was also very gracious with our two young daughters that wanted some beach time and to do some singing in the car. I would book another tour with Mariagrazia without hesitation.Fantastic Day on Amalfi Coast

We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to the Amalfi coast with Davide! He was an excellent tour guide and shared his wealth of information. The small group of 8 worked well and we got to spend a bit more time in both Amalfi and Positano. The Amalfi coast is spectacular and this tour is worth the money. Davide recommended a great bistro. He also entertained us with his stories about the best lemons in Amalfi. Excellent Service

From the beginning of planning Davide was attentive and responded quickly. He put together everything we wanted and checked in to make sure all was ok. Our driver, Antonio, was outstanding. He made modifications as needed on the fly to make everything in his control as perfect as possible. They both wanted us to have the best experience possible. We loved all of our stops including Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius and wonderful wine tasting on one day. Another day was Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi. Antonio suggested a Grotto stop and we ate so glad we did it. They were prompt, courteous, caring and personal. We highly recommend them.Great day trips from Naples

We had the pleasure of spending three hours with Nino recently exploring Naples on foot - technically on a food tour but in reality a delightful combination food and history tour! The food choices he made were exceptional and all were from little out of the way places we couldn’t have known about. Such a lovely experience on many different levels. We had the added bonus of being the only people on that particular tour. Thank you Nino for a wonderful time! A genuine Neopolitan experience

Words are not enough to describe our experience with Nino. He is a great personality with deep knowledge and love on his field and this love is channeled to his audience. He gave us a day to remember and we are grateful for that. Perfectionist to the core a real gentleman who we now consider a friend!! The route he planned, the information he provided on every aspect were beyond far beyond any expectation. Withlocals is lucky to have him in its crew. Nino you are the best. Thank you!With THE BEST!!!

Mariagrazia was very nice, but she was more a driver than a tour guide. This is what the itinerary said what was in store for us: Check out from viewpoints, nature, and cultural gems such as Villa Oplonti, Positano and Amalfi plus other stops your local host has prepared for you along the way. Unfortunately, the description did not match the actual tour. We had three stops and got back to Naples 45 minutes before the tour was to end. Stop 1 was to try fresh mozzarella and cheese. Loved this! Our next stop was Positano but it seemed like she really didn't want to be go there and she stayed in the car for the hour that we explored the seaside town. Then it was off to Amalfi where we ate lunch at her cousin's restaurant that has an incredible water view. It also was the most expensive restaurant we ate at during our entire trip. After our lunch we were told we could explore the town for an hour. Our tour guide stayed behind in the restaurant and we went out again on our own without a guide. Since we had paid for a tour guide, we did not research what to do in the towns because that is what a tour guide is for, right? We never visited Villa oplonti and the description of the tour states that tickets for Villa Oplontis are included. Just OK

We had a great introduction to Naples with Nino. His approach was to educate us of why Naples is what it is today through its historical foundations. It was a very interesting technique which most could easily understand. As a foodie he moved seamlessly into giving an understanding of the development of the Napoleon food and wine culture. A thoroughly enjoyable 3 hours. A definite yes to using Nino. A great guide for discovering Naples!

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

She showed us Her Amalfi coast. Every where we went we got special treatment because we were with Mariagrazia. From flexible restaurant reservations to preferred water taxi’s. I highly recommend.

We booked a 10 Tastings of Naples street food tour with Nino for the day we arrived in Naples. Our family of four - two parents and two young adults - thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our walking and eating tour with him! The food we tasted was amazing and he gave us lots of background on the origins of the various things we tasted, the history of the region and so much more. The buffala mozarella, the pizza, the pasta with ragu...my mouth is watering remembering all the delectable foods we tasted! He also gave us a fantastic restaurant recommendation that turned out to be the best meal of our whole trip to Italy! Nino was delightful, informative and also gave us some great advice beforehand on procuring Napoli tickets. We would book with him again and recommend his street food tour to anyone looking for a nice overview in Naples. Worked out perfectly to do it our first day since we knew what we liked and could go back for more!Fantastic street food tour!

We had a great time with Mariagrazia. Her communication was great prior to our day with her. She was also able to adjust the pickup spot to make it easier for us. While on our trip, she was awesome at pointing out history and local points of interest. She took us to a cheese factory and we were able to see mozzarella being made and we even were able to try the cheese right from the production line. You can’t get any fresher than that! She also took us to try some local sweets that were amazing. I could go on and on as we experienced much more than what I have noted, however, I wanted to at least call the places that we would have never experienced if we were a part of a big tour group. It was fun because she engaged all of us and had some fun conversations with our kids and our youngest about video games. This was our third time using With Locals and it did not disappoint. It is so much better as Mariagrazia didn’t take the “normal” tourist route which would have added a lot of driving time and less time experiencing the local culture. We cannot recommend her enough as we had a great day with her! Fun experience seeing the Amalfi coast

This is the only tour of many with With Locals that was a disappointment. It was difficult to hear Nino and he seemed that he would much rather be elsewhere. While we agreed to skip one course, we only had six tastings. We ended an hour early. I have never before not tipped a guide but I felt that we way overpaid for what we received. Very disappointed

We had a wonderful and relaxing day with Mariagrazia as she drove us to see the towns along the Amalfi Coast. We met up with her at the Central Naples train station and then headed to Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi where we wandered a bit I. Town and enjoyed a delicious seaside lunch and Ravello, where we toured the Villa Rufala which to me was the most beautiful location. She gave us lots of information along the way about the culture, the history, the sea and land, the food, seems like everyone knew her everywhere we stopped as well, which was fun. Heading back we stopped in the side of the road for the best lemon ice I’ve ever had. And she helped my husband find the sunglasses he was hoping to buy while in Italy nearby, too. Thank you Mariagrazia for sharing your coast with us for a day!Fabulous day trip to Amalfi Coast

Mariagrazia was absolutely amazing. My husband and I had about Amalfi but Mariagrazia showed us Amalfi Coast. She was so knowledgeable about the area. We let her guide us and what time it was. We tasted fresh mozzarella and ricotta cheese😻 Fresh figs. Toured a beautiful grotto. Had the most delicious lemon slush. Lunch was FANTASTIC!!! We let her choose and it was the best meal!! We also learned a lot of Italian. Mariagrazia is the best you could ask for in a tour guide. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Best day ever!!
