Experience the best of
Sorrento with Withlocals

"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. "

"We had the most incredible experience with Paolo during our traditional Neapolitan dinner! From start to finish, he was attentive and knowledgeable. Paolo guided us through local stores to select fresh ingredients, making sure we had input on what we wanted to include. His explanations of each ingredient and the dish we made were thorough, and his passion for Neapolitan cuisine really shone through. The dinner itself was outstanding, both in taste and in how comfortable and welcoming the whole experience felt. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more authentic Italian evening. Highly recommended!"

"How do I start to describe the joy of spending time with Paolo and his friends? This was the most beautifully Neapolitan experience - warm, chaotic, deeply authentic, absolutely delicious. From the moment we (a couple with 8-year-old twins) met Paolo, he was sharing his passion for and his knowledge of his home city. We started by visiting a market to buy ingredients for the meal we decided on together, then headed over to an apartment in the historic centre where Paolo and Anna Maria demonstrated dishes including a cooked antipasti and a gorgeous seafood pasta dish. We discussed food, drank wine (only the grown ups!), chatted, listened to music, ate until we were ready to burst and left happy, with a heart full of memories, a list of recommendations and friends for life. Thank you, Paolo, you are amazing."

"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."

"It was so amazing meeting Paolo. From first sight it feels like we are spending time with a good friend. He asked for what we like to eat and what we can expect from the experience. And it was totally different from what we expected, but way better than we could imagine. It was like visiting a friend, have a good chat and amazing food. Highly recommended!"

"Paolo is an absolute Napoli original and knows much more about the city and it‘s people and culture than just about the local food. We took us to the market and showed us where he buys locally which was very nice. Than we cooked at an apartment and shared food and wine with his local friends which again was super nice. All in all a very nice experience and many things learned! Mille Grazie Paolo! "

"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 had an amazing time with Paolo. We went through the markets to collect the ingredients for our meal, and all the vendors who knew Paolo were extra nice which made it an even better experience. Paolo is certainly very popular in his home town. The cooking class was really fun and all his friends were very warm and hospitable. I could talk about all sorts of life things with them as it was such a comfortable environment. Paolo is an amazing chef and host with deep knowledge of the city. It’s always fantastic to have a local guide with you, but Paolo is certainly one to ensure your experience is enjoyable in every aspect. Highly recommend! "

"Paolo, Ana Maria, and Alessia were super kind and fun! We made delicious yet simple dishes that were interactive and easy to bring back home. Paolo also reached out to us early to get a sense of things we liked to eat or wanted to learn more about and worked those into our experience. Throughout the class and dinner, they taught us about why Napoli eats certain foods and why certain dishes are important. Overall, it was such a fun and authentic experience that we will remember forever! Thank you so much, Paolo! "

"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!"
