Naples: 2-Hour Walking Tour with Food Tasting Experience

Start your experience in the iconic Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, right on the edge of Naples’ historic center. Here, your private guide will introduce you from the outside to the square’s two main landmarks: the Church of Gesù Nuovo and the Church of Santa Chiara, sharing stories and curiosities about their history and architecture.

From there, follow your guide into the narrow streets of the old town as you make your way to the bustling Pignasecca market. Surrounded by colors, smells and voices, you will see how locals do their daily shopping and how both residents and visitors enjoy one of the most famous street food traditions in the world. Taste typical Neapolitan specialties such as “pizza a portafoglio” (folded pizza), fried pizza, “frittatina di pasta”, “crocchè” (potato croquettes) and the classic “cuoppo” filled with fried fish or small mozzarella bites, depending on the day and availability.

Continue along the famous Via Toledo, one of Naples’ main shopping streets, where local restaurants, cafés and the lively Spanish Quarters above create a unique atmosphere. Here you will enjoy a sweet stop with a traditional dessert such as “babà” or “sfogliatella”, and perhaps a good espresso or a refreshing local lemon drink (with a fascinated surprise!).

Throughout the tour, your guide will not only provide historical and cultural information, but will also entertain you with fun anecdotes about the origins, preparation and preservation of Naples’ street food culture. In just two hours, you will get a real taste of the city’s soul – through its flavors, its people and its streets.
