Get a three-hour crash course in Naples, from navigating the old streets to learning the distinct character of each district (and squeezing in some sightseeing along the way!). Stroll under the arch of Alba Gate towards the old city of Naples, where you’ll see one of the city’s most famous Neapolitan pizzerias, Sorbillo, and stately buildings belonging to the 800-year-old University of Naples Federico II, one of the oldest in the world. Get a perfect snapshot of Neapolitan life on Via Toledo, a hive of Italian boutiques and popular street food, and enter Toledo Metro, one of Europe’s most famous (and beautiful) metro stations. Not feeling like an honorary local yet? After a photo opportunity with the backdrop of Mount Vesuvius and the island of Capri, you certainly will!

You’ll get to grips with the historic city of Naples in a few of its bustling central districts: Santa Lucia on the Bay of Naples and the outskirts of the picturesque Quartieri Spagnoli (Spanish Quarter) less than a mile north. In Santa Lucia, you’ll get sweeping views of the beautiful Gulf of Naples and the historically significant Mount Vesuvius, while the bustling Spanish Quarter, where the Neapolitan language is stronger than anywhere else in the city, is the perfect place to get a true taste of Naples. Between these districts, your host will teach you to navigate the narrow streets, untangle the transport system, and share a couple of stellar street food and restaurant recommendations over a Neapolitan espresso or creamy gelato at your host’s favorite gelateria.
