A privately guided food tour of the Naples historic center.
Our passeggiata in Naples introduces food lovers to the fascinating historic center, tasting typical artisan specialties.
The Naples’ centro storico reflects the great eras of the city’s emblematic past, from its 5th century BC Greco-Roman founding, to its importance as an 18th century kingdom and up to its modern incarnation.
The city’s intriguing past comes to light in a juxtaposition of history, art, magnificent architecture, modern design and delicious food.
Naples is provocative, teeming with life and authentic. Although some travelers are intimidated by the apparent grittiness, these should instead consider the city’s hospitality, history, charm, food, coffee, art, theatre, music. The list goes on.
The urban sprawl of Naples can feel tattered, anarchic and forsaken. But it’s enough to look beyond the patina of time and graffiti to see a city of breathtaking beauty, chock with dramatic skies, panoramas and art. At that point travelers will discover its elegance, engage in spontaneous conversations with locals and be surprised at the city’s profound humanity.
Churches, cloisters, narrow cobbled alleys, underground ruins, an open air market bustling with activity and an artist’s atelier are all on the itinerary.
