Danni was such a good host and guide, she knew so much about the city of Naples, why they were using frying method instead of ovens and the history, as well as taking us to some of the most amazing food stops, she had such great confidence and rapport with the local shops and taught us a lot. A great experience with a great host! As a Brit I always feel awkward and she made everything feel calm and relaxing and I was very full of food!
We went to the lunchtime version for a couple.of hours. It was informative and fun; our guide Sara was both enthusiastic and engaging!
Carmen was fantastic and the group was great. We tried 5 or 6 different foods and walked through old town and Carmen gave info on the food we tried and a bit of Naples history
Fun tour with our guide Mario - he was very welcoming and accommodating to different dietary preferences. Great way to explore spacanapolli
This was a really nice experience. Our guide, Tatia, was upbeat and in tune with the group. She shared many good notes on history, architecture, culture and, of course, food! This is a great choice for solo travelers to get out for some company and genuine laughs.
Great tour of food and the city. Mario was very informative and funny! Lots of different foods tried and some down time to relax and enjoy the food at each stop.
Mario - our guide gave a fun guide of Napoli and the food and drink stops were great and have been worth going back too.
Lots of pizza prepared in different ways that were delish. Tossed some interesting city history in to make an enjoyable afternoon. Be prepared for lots of humanity, smoking and a tapestry of colors and smells.
It’s a lot of food but so worth it. The tour takes you through a very touristy neighborhood with lots of shops.
A variety of wonderful Napoletano food and produce and walking through the busy streets of Naples. Our guide Claudia was very lovely and knowledgeable.
