We really enjoyed the food tour. It was a great opportunity to explore Naples and sample the local food and drink and get an insight into the culture. The only disappointment is that the food tour had to be cut short and that we didn't get a chance to sample all 10 of the food and drink. Great food tour of Naples.

We booked Milly to give us a tour of The historic centre of Naples. Instead of the 3 hour tour Milly agreed to extend the tour an extra hour and take us to a local restaurant in the Spanish Quarter. Milly was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We covered a lot of ground and learned a great deal in that time. The cantina we went to for lunch was a quaint family run restaurant with excellent local food. Would definitely recommend Milly to anyone visiting Naples!Excellent Tour of Naples

What an amazing 2 hour family tour we had with Milly, who was warm and super knowledgable! She engaged with our girls ages 9 and 6, telling them and us magical and mythical stories about Naples, so this was not another historical sight seeing tour. The Neapolitan sweet treats she introduced us to were a bonus too! It was a shame our girls were tired as this was the last day of a week long holiday for us, so they could done with a couple more stops, sitting down periodically as Milly shared her stories. All in all, I’d strongly recommend Milly and this tour as a great way to get a flavour of the sights, which you can then return to at your leisure to explore further.Bringing Naples to life!

Nous avons passé une belle matinée à découvrir Naples. Milly connaît bien sa ville et sait transmettre son enthousiasme! C'est la façon idéale de parcourir une ville pour la première fois, on la perçoit autrement, on comprend son histoire tout en parcourant les rues et places de Naples en se laissant conduire et nourrir de l'histoire de cette ville surprenante et contrastée. La visite est aussi ponctuée de découvertes gastronomiques. Milly nous a donné pleins de conseils aussi pour la suite de notre séjour. Une guide top que je vous recommandé!Fantastique !

Only with a true Neapolitan you can understand the complexity of this city and Milly, as perfect Neapolitan, has managed to transmit all the energy of the city. She is very knowledgeable about the history and the monuments of the historic center but at the same time she is very well informed about restaurants, taverns, vines just like a real local can be. Amazing tour with Milly!!

Milly was a volcano of enthusiasm and knowledge. You can see that she is really in love with every aspect of her city and know it into the smallest detail. We really learned about the highlights of the city and enjoyed even more her hidden gems. My favourite stop was definitely the workshop of a local artist. Thanks a lot for a great day !Best of Naples Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems
