Uncover the best of San Gennaro the local Way

"My friend and I had the pleasure of taking the Essential Naples: Discover the Soul of the Old Town tour with Raffaele, and it was one of the highlights of our visit to Napoli. Having briefly visited Naples more than 15 years ago, I wanted a deeper understanding of the city’s history, culture, traditions, and people. Raffaele delivered exactly that. His passion for Napoli was evident in every story, historical detail, and hidden gem he shared along the way. What impressed me most was his ability to bring the city to life. We learned about the Neapolitan language, the rich religious traditions surrounding San Gennaro, local customs, street food, literature, and the many layers of history that make Naples such a fascinating place. Raffaele was knowledgeable, engaging, and patient, creating an experience that felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a proud local friend. By the end of the tour, I didn’t just feel like I had seen Napoli—I felt like I had begun to understand its soul. If you’re visiting Naples and want more than just the typical tourist experience, I highly recommend taking a tour with Raffaele. You’ll leave with a greater appreciation for this remarkable city and the stories that have shaped it over centuries. Thank you, Raffaele, for helping me experience Napoli differently this time around."

"We had so much fun learning about the history of Napoli with Noemi! She is an incredible resource, and extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and art of the region. Above all, she’s was engaging and kind - we left her tour feeling like we made a real friend in Napoli. Grazie mille per la tua gentilessa, Noemi!"

"I recommend Noemi, she was professional and very friendly. She knows everything about the city and as a local she was very engaged to explain the story of Napoli. Brava Noemi!"

"Fantastic guide for the history and culture of Naples. From a many generation local family, loves the history of everything from architecture to food. Charming, very good English. "

"Yana was a delight. Even though I have traveled and toured some Naples sites in the past she pointed out places I’d never seen before. Yana even went out of her way to help me buy an emergency item along our way. She is very personable, professional, articulate and a gracious host. Thanks Yana for a great tour. "

"We booked a private tour with Raffaele based on his profile, and it exceeded every expectation. A true Neapolitan, he brings deep knowledge of the city, shaped by his experience working alongside the archaeologists who uncovered the Roman world beneath Naples’ bustling streets. His tour struck a perfect balance between rich history and engaging storytelling. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide."

"We enjoyed the tour of Naples with Raffaele. He was very knowledgeable and had great stories. We highly recommend Raffaele!"

"2,5 часа с Яной в Неаполе пролетели незаметно, прощаться не хотелось. Прекрасный гид и очень приятный в общении человек. 10 из 10 👍"

"I chose Manuela as our Naples guide because of her knowledge of art, architecture, and archaeology. We chose extremely well: Manuela’s expertise shined as we followed her past or inside ancient, medieval, and Renaissance landmarks—from the remnants of the ancient Greek walls of Neapolis, to underground old Roman street-level ruins, to medieval and Renaissance churches, some still bearing signs of WWII damage. But she also cared for us like family, catering to our personal health issues, for example, with compassion and empathy, and making our 3-hour walking tour (on Christmas Eve, no less, the only day our itinerary permitted us to meet with her) a resounding and unforgettable success. Thank you, Manuela!"

"Roberto took us around on a very rainy day and helped us make the most of our first day in Naples despite the weather. We had a great overview of the city while snacking on delicious local food."
