Experience the best of
Naples with Withlocals

"We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ylenia during our personalized cooking class in Napoli. From the moment we arrived, she made our group of six feel welcome and comfortable in her home. The class was hands-on, fun, and incredibly authentic. Ylenia patiently guided us through making delicious pizza, calzones, and a fantastic Caprese cake, sharing both cooking techniques and local traditions along the way. One of the highlights was enjoying wild cherries from her garden, which added a special personal touch to the experience. In addition to being an excellent instructor, Ylenia was a wonderful host. She generously shared recommendations and insights about Naples and the surrounding area, helping us discover places and experiences we might otherwise have missed. This was much more than a cooking class—it was a genuine and memorable cultural experience. If you're looking for an authentic, family-friendly activity in Napoli, we highly recommend Ylenia. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy."

"We had a great day with Enzo. He grew up in the area, so he really knows the mountains, and he was a lot of fun and easy to be with. He listened well to the kind of day we wanted to have. You may be able to do the Path of God without a guide, but particularly in November (the low season) it is useful to have someone help you with the logistics of where and how to go. In addition to his wealth of information about the path and the surrounding nature, Enzo took us on the ferry to Amalfi and for a tour of Atrani — all very beautiful. Thank you Enzo for a memorable day. "

"I took my adult children on this hike and it was one of our most memorable and favorite experiences of our entire trip to Italy. Enzo is incredibly knowledgeable about the social, geological, and ecological history of the region, and pointed out various plants and their properties which my children found really interesting. He is also very safety oriented, which makes for an enjoyable trip. The pacing is good, though I wouldn’t recommend any hike in this area for people without proper footwear or with low levels of activity. However, I am not in the best shape of my life, and my daughter is recovering from cancer, and while it was not an easy hike, it was still extremely enjoyable and doable for us. I would highly recommend booking this hike or any of Enzo’s hikes. He has one through the wineries as well."

"Ylenia and her family are AMAZING hosts!!! She was so welcoming and loving to our kids and family and shared so many stories and facts about Naples!! We learned so many things and had the best time creating pizzas together as a family and trying local drinks and then making delicious chocolate calzones! Our kids (age 10 and 8) started off a little tired but Ylenia was so patient and fun and they soon were soaking it all up! They have the most beautiful home and farm and garden and we all loved seeing it all and their beautiful view!! If you are looking for a wonderful taste of Naples authentic pizza with a relaxing family time to connect and enjoy then definitely do this activity and be sure to give Ylenia a hug from us too!! SO FUN & DELICIOUS!"

"I was looking for a cooking class with my kids (3 and 6 years old). Then I have found Ylenia with a little research and it was amazing! She has made us feel like a friend of hers. She was so nice and kind. And the food... All the best ingredients, perfect kitchen and tasty pizzas. I definitely recommend to visit her while you are in Naples. You can always go to a nice restaurant, but making your own is something totally different. Thank you again Ylenia for such a lovely experience!"

"We all had a wonderful time with Ylenia and learnt so much about Italian culture! Our daughters (7 and 5 years old) loved making the pizzas and getting messy. They also loved seeing the chickens and the cat. As well a an insight into local traditions, Ylenia gave us some amazing views of Naples with the stunning backdrop of Vesuvius. Ylenia is very kind and enthusiastic about her country and we would definitely recommend this experience to everyone."

"Ylenia is not only very good shef, she is also tourist guide. So, we enjoyed also from very interesting guide about the history of south Italy. The kids loved cooking the food (that was delicious!). Ylenia communicated directly with the kids and gave us all filling like we are at home."

"Ylenia’s experience was one of the most authentic and enjoyable experiences that we have ever booked! Sharing a love of travel over great food was amazing. Hearing Ylenia’s stories was a true highlight of our trip! We would book this again in a heartbeat!"

"Ylenia was the highlight of our two week vacation in Italy! She was fun, engaging, told us loads about Italian culture, the food, and the pizzas we made were incredibly delicious! She was also so engaging with our 3 year old son, got him to help a lot, and he sure had a lot of fun too! We highly recommend Ylenia’s classes and tour guiding as well. She spoke perfect English with the Italian charm of course!"

"We brought our two boys, ages 8 and 10, and we had a great time with Ylenia. The boys loved making the pizza and calzones and also enjoyed hanging out with her dogs and cat. "
