Description
You will take a trip back in time to when Kings and Queens dined on the delicacies locals still love today. Hear the legends and lore of the Spanish Quarter and other iconic neighborhoods as you eat your way through history.

Itinerary
Explore the city's most impressive architectural wonders and delve into their fascinating history!
Start the tour at a bar that stands as a historic landmark of Neapolitan hospitality beneath the grand iron-and-glass dome of Galleria Umberto I. Enjoy the classic Neapolitan coffee and a freshly made sfogliatella, crafted in the family’s own lab with crisp pastry and citrus-scented ricotta, an authentic flavor of Naples’ golden age.
Stop at a five-generation Neapolitan friggitoria and true guardian of the city’s street-food tradition. Taste the legendary frittatina di pasta, a Bourbon-era creation born from the art of making do: to transform leftover pasta into something magnificent, with a crispy outside and irresistibly creamy inside.
See Teatro San Carlo, Europe’s oldest active opera house, and the majestic Royal Palace, whose statues trace the city’s royal history from ancient Greece to Italian unification.
The name of this family-run spot celebrates the joy of scooping up every last drop of sauce with bread; a true sign of a great meal! Taste a street-food version of the classic Neapolitan Sunday lunch: pasta made with organic, locally sourced ingredients, served with bread to “fare la scarpetta.” Here, everyone eats like family.
Welcome to the Spanish Quarters, where the polished map fades and real Naples takes over. Wander a centuries-old maze of narrow streets alive with laundry overhead, street vendors, and nonnas in their bassi. Just steps from royal palaces, this is the city’s raw, warm, unapologetic heart.
See the magnificent Church of San Ferdinando, often called the 'Artists' Church'. Step inside and prepare to be transported to the height of Neapolitan Baroque grandeur.
Just steps from the world’s oldest opera house, stop at a beloved family-run spot once favored by Teatro San Carlo performers. Enjoy a fresh Caprese salad, followed by an authentic Pizza Margherita with local wine. Finish with a glass of homemade limoncello for a true taste of Naples.
Visit a legendary family-run gelateria founded in 1969. Known for its “farm-to-cone” philosophy, Mennella uses fresh milk, local fruit, and 100% natural ingredients, with flavors inspired by the seasons, and you'll get to try one!

Fantastic tour with so much food-took us to places we wouldn’t have found on our own. Our knowledgeable tour guide, Amantha, was excellent! I would highly recommended this tour.
Thank you! We loved showing you some places you wouldn't have found on your own.
What an extraordinary tour this has been. We were gifted an brilliant guide Aldo who is so knowledgeable, personable, funny and even provided some of his homegrown chilli, which was incredible. If you get a chance to do this tour it is absolutely worth it, but a good tip is not to eat before hand!
