You'll navigate the ancient Roman thoroughfares (decumani) and narrow side streets whilst learning how the city's distinctive culture took shape. The walk includes tastings of two Neapolitan staples: sfogliatella pastry and pizza a portafoglio, the folded street version eaten on the move.

What to expect
Expect a steady pace through compact streets where you'll stop frequently to absorb stories about Naples' layered past. Your guide will point out architectural details and explain how Greek, Roman, and medieval influences shaped the city. You'll pause at a sfogliatella spot for the crispy, ricotta-filled pastry, then grab folded pizza from a counter—both eaten as you walk. The tour stays in the pedestrianised centre, so you won't need to cross busy roads. Allow for short pauses to photograph and catch your breath.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes; these streets have uneven cobbles. Bring water—drinks aren't included. Inform your guide of dietary needs at booking. The route covers roughly 3–4 km at an easy-to-moderate pace. The area is well-served by public transport if you need to get there or leave early.
