We had the most wonderful time in Napoli with Rita. From the time we booked, she contacted us and customized the tour for us and learned more about our family's needs. We have two young daughters and Rita anticipated their needs and made them feel very special. She even adapted on the go when the girls felt tired and allowed us to stop and look at things they were interested in. She showed us the most delicious gelato, spaghetti, puzza and café. We were so pleased with the quality of her tour and she was so friendly and knowledgeable. Awesome visit to Napoli

We really enjoyed our sweet treats tour with Rita. As well as enjoying the pastries, chocolate and gelato, Rita shared lots of information about her city. We talked in particular about the street art, which she knows a lot about. She answered our questions and kept our 7 year old engaged, providing suitable treats for him to enjoy while we had the alcoholic versions 😀

Rita is a lovely young lady- passionate about her hometown of Napoli; she is well versed and speaks excellent English. We enjoyed the little treats along the way- 4 pastries, chocolate and ending off with the best gelato ever. Enthusiastic about local history and discovering a couple of hidden gems along the way. Kids and adults will love this walking your 😁Rita personlises this tour- for families

The tour with Rita is just simply amazing. She is absolutely great guide, with great people skills, and she knows the city really Well. Even without the great pastries she showed us, it would still be Worth every single cent spent on the tour.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our sweet treats tour with Rita. Walking around Naples with two jet-lagged young children was no easy feat, but Rita kept them engaged and won over the day with her easy going personality and local knowledge of the best pastries and gelato in her city. My wife and I really appreciated the historical culinary knowledge Rita shared with us throughout the tour. Rita is a gem! A+Delicious Adventure

My family and I had the pleasure of doing 2 tours with Rita. We were able to learn a lot about the history, customs, foods, superstitions as well as legends of Napoli. The dessert tour is a must for anyone who is interested in trying the flavors of Napoli. We requested she add a short hike up the hill to get a view of Vesuvius and Rita gladly accommodated us. Our 2 kids (ages 5 and 8) had an absolutely amazing time and enjoyed trying the treats along the way. The charming medieval villages tour is for those who want to explore a completely new side of this region. We visited two little towns and were not disappointed. We fell in love with everything Rita showed us and our 2 kids absolutely adored her! She explained things to them at a level that was easy to understand and fun to listen to. She was kind and patient. We learned so much from a local about this area which made it unique and cool! We highly recommend Rita and her tours. Magically fun for the whole family

Rita was wonderful. We are traveling with a 10-year old. Rita was particularly attentive to our child’s needs, making sure there were small breaks, not boring her with too much history, and most importantly- finding great gelato!Rita e la piu buona!!

Thank you Rita for showing us around your city! Rita was knowledgeable about her city and incredibly patient with our family. She had a story for each stop and even offered us a few seasonal choices. Highly recommend for families looking for an overview of the city and a few sweet bites from those tempting pastry cases. Wonderful morning of pastries!

Yes we got 4 sweet pastries
And that was it.
We were moved from one bakery to the other. No explanations were made. When I asked questions I got very short answers. We learned nothing of Naples. Rita could not really give any account re the history of the pastries. We did not go to any playground. We did not do the play. Rita did not try to communicate with the kids. She even smoked near us as this was the right thing to do. After one hour and a half, she said that the tour was finished, just like that - although it is declared on the app that the tour takes 2 hours.
If you dont want to spend good money for nothing, I do not recommend this tour in Naples at all
Really really bad experience. No value to money

This was our first withlocals tour and it was fantastic. We chose a pizza and pastry kids tour with Rita. Our kids are 10,8,4, and 4, so pleasing everyone can be a challenge, but Rita was up for it! She made us feel at home in a rather busy city and took us off the beaten track to all the best pastry shops in the city. Her knowledge of history, architecture, language, and culture is extensive. We did not ask her a question that she didn’t know the answer to. The kids fell in love with Rita as she was able to be attentive and engage all ages, and still keep the tour on track. She went at our pace and was very patient and fun. We learned about so many Naples traditions and what it is like to be a local. Based on this experience we would recommend Naples and Rita to everyone! She truly has a God given gift of hospitality. She walked us back to our cruise ship and upon parting, it was like we were leaving an old friend who we wished was going to join us on all of our travels. Thank you.A wonderful time with kids in Naples

Thanks to Rita, we immediately approached the spirit, culture and history of the city. In a simple, understandable but at the same time very human way, she conveyed to us her love for Naples. She answered all our questions, tried and managed to convey her enthusiasm to us. We highly recommend her.A wonderful introduction to

Rita was amazing from the start. We were running a few minutes behind as we were coming in to Naples just prior to our tour. As soon as we met with her, she was super friendly and nice, gave us a lot of historical info and took us to get excellent food. She even made recommendations for other places to eat during the rest of our time in Naples and all were excellent. I would repeat this tour again and again on future trips to Naples. We love you Rita. Great Tour, Rita is 10/10

We booked a private culinary tour, Our guide Rita was very friendly and competent. But unfortunately the tour was not worth the money. We paid for two persons 150 EUR. The tour was announced to last 2 hours, but in fact it was 1.5 hrs. We tasted espresso, one small portion of candele alle genovese together, taralli and spritz for each of us. Two streetfood pizza and one bites of desserts baba for each of us. The price-value rating is very low.Culinary Food Tour through Naples

Wir trafen Rita am Dante Platz, von wo aus wir einen kulinarischen Rundgang durch die Altstadt antraten, mit vier kulinarischen Stopps, an denen wir mit kleinen neapolitanische Snacks und Getränken bewirtet wurden. Mit netten Gesprächen lernten wir die aktuelle Stadt Situation ganz nebenbei kennen.

Rita was super knowledgable about Naples, showing us all the hidden spots to grab a bite and even bars to visit later in the evening. She taught us lots of history in an engaging way through folk tales and stories. Overall we had a great time hanging out with her for the evening. It was a highlight of our trip and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Naples :)Great experience

We have taken a tour with With Locals before so I knew this would be perfect introduction to Naples.
And it was just that.
Rita was such a wonderful person and guide. Her knowledge and passion for all things Neopolitan was palpable- we even had a long discussion about Saint Maradona !
I can’t fault anything about the time we spent with Rita. We learned so much about areas that I have been to before but not not properly seen, if that makes sense. We tasted some great food and tried things we may not have tried had we not been introduced to them by Rita.
On our next visit to Naples I will be looking up other tours that Rita leads. Thank you so much.The perfect start to our trip

As we were a blank canvas talking about the history and culture of Napoli, Rita took us on a trip explaining the history of this lasagna city and showing us some fine places in the city mirroring the culture of young and old. You're not in a history lessons but on a date with a Napolitana who breaths Napoli. A little walk through Napoli

Our food tour with Rita was amazing. She was so friendly and engaging it was such a joy to spend the time with her. We tasted so many traditional foods from a variety of local shops, got history and information about the city along the way. Not only was the food tour fantastic, she also had so much other information to offer us being first time Naples visitors. She aptly named herself the Google of Naples! We would 100% recommend, and the next time we come back to Naples we're excited to book another tour with her.Wonderful experience, wonderful person!

We loved our food tour with Rita! Between stops for espresso, street food and pastries, Rita introduced us to monuments, shops and neighborhoods of Naples. Rita did a great job of relating the history and culture of Naples to the delicious treats we ate. A great introduction to Naples or just a way to get to know it better with a local.

We had an awesome time with Rita. She's the local guide who can really give you interesting and entertaining insights about Napoli, touching both history, culture and local anecdotes. The tour was well planned and the 3 hours went by really smoothly.
Her English is super polished and we enjoyed a lovely chat.
We totally recommended Rita and investing in a local guide to truly get to know the place.Excellent choice

Rita was an excellent host, and so knowledgeable that she was easily able to tailor the tour to accommodate our dog.
We saw exactly what we’d hoped for, the key sights of Napoli as well as some of the lessor known spots. She also capably answered all our questions, and was even happy to share some thoughts on where to visit as we travel further south in Italy.
Very highly recommended, and would happily use again as her knowledge is vast and could easily fill another 3 hours for us. Outstanding tour of Napoli

Rita was a prime example why this app works. She showed us around Naples explained history and customs. Which made us interested in Naples even more and regret the limited days.
She went beyond and helped us plan the other days as well to what was worth visiting in Naples.
10/10 will recommend Rita to all my friends going to Naples. Amazing Naples experience

Rita was totally brilliant. As well as being utterly adorable, she was so knowledgeable and passionate about her city. As well as the fascinating history and architecture of the incredible city of Napoli, she gave us ideas of how to spend the rest of our trip (we went to Sorrento). She also told us about some of the local food and while she was surprised at the area we were staying, we managed to find a local restaurant near our hotel that served the delicious genovese she had described 😊
Cannot recommend highly enough and a private tour, while a little more expensive, is definitely the way to go.Absolute best way to Naples.

More about me
Born and raised in Naples, I've always been in love with the city and its folklore. Especially, I love how inclusive the city is with everyone which led me to grow interest in talking to people from different parts of the world and studying foreign cultures and languages.
I'm always looking for new people to meet, learning from them and give something back from my culture and my city.
I also profoundly love Art and History, which is something I can experience in every alley, corner or in everything I eat everyday. That's what I hope to give to other people, to discover something new in every step, in every bite, sound or food's scent.
