About this tour
Walk through Naples' monumental core with a guide who knows the city's pulse, stopping at markets and neighbourhood food stalls where locals shop daily. Over four hours, you'll navigate baroque churches, Renaissance palaces and millennia-old streets while tasting proper Neapolitan food—pizza, fried fish, tripe, pastries—not as a tourist spectacle but as an observer of how the city actually eats. This is archaeology and appetite in the same breath.

What to expect
You'll move through central Naples on foot, pausing frequently at working markets and family-run food stops. Your guide will point out architectural landmarks and explain the neighbourhoods' layered history, but the real focus is stopping to eat—properly, not rushed. Expect narrow streets, crowded stalls during market hours, and the sensory overload of a living market in full swing. Food tastings are built into the walk; you're not grabbing bites on the move but standing among locals, understanding what they eat daily and why it matters.
Good to know
Groups over 10 receive headsets. Bring comfortable walking shoes and cash for market snacks. Food allergies need flagging beforehand. Prams work fine on main streets but side alleys can be tight. Public transport runs nearby if you need a break.
