Have you ever wished to stop traveling as a tourist and start living as a guest? In Naples, every corner tells a story, every face holds a craft, every workshop is a small universe waiting to be explored.

This is not a tour: it’s an encounter. With the ancient gestures of artisans, with the hoarse voice of the alleyways, with the hands that knead, carve, repair, and weave invisible threads between past and present. There is no fixed route, because the people we meet draw the map. We walk, we listen, we step into the living heart of the city, where time has not surrendered to speed and every object tells the story of its maker.

It’s an informal, adaptable experience, shaped by those who join and by the mood of the Neapolitan sky. We talk about craftsmanship, yes, but also about resilience, identity, and a kind of tourism that doesn’t consume, but nurtures. Sometimes we pause for a coffee, roasted on site in a place that smells of wood and sweet smoke, and from there a conversation starts—or a silence that says everything.

This is not a tour to follow. It’s a time to share. Because Naples is not something you visit—it’s something you walk through, breathe in and let into your soul.

On this tour, we'll discover a hidden side of this city by venturing underground to discover the history of the tunnels that lie below the Spanish quarter.

This is an experience aimed at travelers tired of mass tourism, to those who are not on holiday but on travel, to those who seek authenticity everywhere driven by curiosity towards themselves and the world where to immerse with love and respect.

The area of the Quartieri Spagnoli today remains one of the most authentic in Naples, with its characteristic alleys, street art and the locals, will involve you in a whirlwind of emotions and sensations as only this city can do.


I will have the chance to tell you many stories and show you a side of Naples that you might not expect to find, we will talk about the impact of modern tourism and how it could be redirectioned to sustain local culture that still survives despite everything. it will be like a walk among friends, but please remember that for me this is in fact a job in which I spend a lot of time and energy in all its aspects, from the 'touristic' to the social side.

 We will also get to know the local people, now more and more curious about visitors, observing the particular way of living and listening to some history of the place, between cultural associations and squatted churches, local artisans, tailors and shoemakers who continue to make their jobs in the old way, carrying on centuries of Neapolitan traditions and culture, or simple passers-by with the desire to chat or tell some story.

The Spanish Quarters are rich in life and folklore, they smell of the sea and Vesuvius, and visiting them can be something very distant culturally, but it is also a unique experience for those who want to know one of the most authentic and particular realities of Naples!

"Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are" said Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, French gastronome and politician of the 19th century , and in fact, what better way to get to know the intimacy of a culture than through its food? It is a bit like entering people's houses, peeking into everyday life and exploring the tastes of a culture, which expresses its history, as well as the influences and events that have characterized its experience.

We will go to one of the oldest markets in Naples to explore the local products, with its peculiarities and its strong flavors, often born from the popular needs to feed creatively with few things available. On our trip we will have the opportunity to try local specialities things like mozzarella or provolone del monaco, but also "frittatine di pasta" and other nice ones, before arriving at the typical desserts and the Neapolitan coffee, unique in the world and strictly short and creamy, with its warm and enveloping aromas.

Our will be a journey where step by step we will educate the palate to house increasingly strong and determined flavors, and on this journey it will seem to start from the bottom to reach the top little by little, surely you will not regret it!

Let me know if you have any special food needs and I will think about some alternatives accordingly! 😋
