Our guide, Alessandra, was spectacular. With an enviable dialectic and a lot of irony he entertained us for more than two hours in the historic center of Naples giving us so much interesting and uncommon information. Very good indeed!
Grazie mille per questa bellissima recensione e per le tue parole. Alla prossima!
Beautiful experience, led by Alessandra who immersed us in the history and present of this fascinating city, which cannot fail to leave you in the ❤️...thanks Alessandra and w Napoli
Ciao! Grazie tante per questa bella recensione. Ci piacere sapere che Alessandra sia riuscita a trasmetterti tutto il suo amore per Napoli. Ti aspettiamo in futuro per nuovi tour!
I’m Neapolitan, but I must admit that I didn’t know so many details of the city that I often took for granted. I recommend everyone to live the experience of a guided tour of this level because you will not regret it. Super professional guide!!!
I had always dreamed of seeing Naples, I had very high expectations and I must admit that I was not disappointed. Seeing the city accompanied by the guide was an incredible experience, every corner of the city seemed to tell us about its history. I highly recommend booking this tour, because it was absolutely worth it.
Beautiful tour, accompanied by a super knowledgeable guide who told us a lot of anecdotes about the city! We visited all the main attractions in the centre and it was magical ☺️☺️ highly recommended!
BEST TOUR EVER! Raffaele is so much fun and so knowledgeable about everything! I will definitely be doing another tour with him! He also made my children fall in love with Naples! 😍.... Highly recommended!
Raffaele led us through four ancient spiced wine recipes derived from archaeology and his own research. We all spiced our wines at home with ingredients he’d suggested in advance. I learned a lot about the history of wine, Rome and chemistry. Great fun for a virtual experience!
This was a fantastic way to experience Naples during the Pandemic. Raffaelle went through the history of blending spices and wine from Grecian and Roman times through the Renaissance, as we followed his instructions and blended two whites and two reds. They were unexpectedly delicious! We felt transported to another continent, another time.
In 2019 when we were still able to travel internationally, I had the wonderful experience to take the historic tour with Raffaele Romero with my traveling companions. It was a wonderful tour with all the mysteries and history from ancient to modern times. Longing to travel again but unable due to Covid, I discovered that Raffaele was also providing current tours during the "lock down." What a pleasure to revisit sites I had seen on the live tour and to relive the magic and mystery of Naples. Highly recommend the virtual tour and, of course, when we can safely travel again, the live tour.
The best choice for a first visit to Naples. Alessandra was an exceptional guide, she told a lot of anecdotes and historical facts that helped to understand
Grazie mille !
