An amazing lady & a real credit to your company. The value for money on this tour was excellent. The food & the city were amazing. Thank you very much!

Guide Daniella spoke very enthusiastically and with a lot of humor. Learned a lot of things about Neapolitan culture and of course the food. She also gave many tips about places that were fun to visit in Naples. In addition, of course, street food: not the healthiest food, but very tasty and certainly more than enough for dinner. Antipasti, two types of pizza, fried pasta, sfogliatella, baba, limoncello and finally ice cream (or coffee). Recommended!

I did the tour with Sara a week and a half ago and really enjoyed the tour. She frequently made sure everyone was following in the crowded streets of Naples. The food was delicious, as expected. You can't go wrong with Southern Italian cuisine.

Great guide who was so enthusiastic and entertaining she really made the tour for us.

It included everything there was in the description.
