About this tour

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at piazza Bellini and walk steadily through narrow alleyways and main squares, pausing every 30–40 minutes at small family-run spots to eat and drink. Each stop reveals a dish or drink tied to Naples' past; the guide contextualises what you're tasting rather than rushing you through. Expect to stand while eating in some places, sit briefly in others. The pace is leisurely but involves real walking—bring comfortable shoes. By the final stop at Gambrinus, you'll have consumed multiple courses, so pacing your portions early helps. The tour finishes around 10 or 11 p.m.
