Must see in Napoles

The tour with Francesco was definitely one of the best guided tours we ever had. And we already had a lot. It is because he managed it to tell us not only about historical facts and was knowledgeable, he was able to give us an imagination about the way people think and life in Napoles. For example the painting of Maradona is definitely not about football at all. To understand what is really behind you should join the tour. So, if you're interested in the way of life in Napoles and you really want to understand why people act and life like they do, we highly recommend this tour.

great tour of the Spanish Quarter

I recommend this great tour of the Spanish Quarter. If I would have walked through this area on my own I would just see old buildings and crowded streets. We were given lots of history,the good, bad and ugly. Francesco gladly invited all questions. He made sure to point out lots of details and took pride in his city and delivered tour with a passion for everything it stood for. What a treat to be able to have authentic lunch with locals. I have been to Naples before and this was an intimate way to see more of how people actually live. Meeting place was short easy walk from cruise port and tour was easy total distance. The streets were authentic and I would not recommend to anyone with mobility issues, but recommend to people who can get around easy enough. Thank you for sharing your city and passion. Wonderful lunch offered with lots of smiles.

The BEST!

This tour really made our day in Neapoli. The guide is very friendly and enthusiastic and the stories about the spanish quarter are immersive and interesting every step of the way! The highligh was drinking coffee with the local family (and singing with them!) and getting blessed by a nun on a miracle chair (indeed) :) LOVED IT!

What a warm and authentic tour!

We had a wonderful time and dived into the Neapolitan world for three hours. Our guide Francesco made it an authentic experience and it was a joy listening to all the stories and historical background - with its ups and downs. Francesco created a warm and funny atmosphere, and he took time to give personal advice beyond the tour. We'd definitely join again! ????❤️
