The streets themselves are part of the charm— lively, sometimes chaotic, but always authentic. The tour may take you through areas that are popular with locals and visitors alike, giving you a taste of Naples’ bustling street life. The walk is moderate in length and pace, suitable for most travelers, but those with mobility concerns should check with the provider for specifics.

The Highlight: Neapolitan Pizza

After your walk, you’ll head to a hand-picked, historic pizzeria for your pizza dinner. This is where the experience really shines—Naples is the birthplace of pizza, and the place you’ll visit is known for serving authentic Neapolitan pizza. Think thin, soft crust, fresh toppings, and a cozy atmosphere that’s been welcoming diners for years.

The reviews rave about the quality of the pizza, with many mentioning it as a highlight of their trip. One reviewer said, “The pizza we had across from the water was very good,” and others appreciated the authentic taste and historic ambiance. The restaurant’s location and history add to the experience, making it more than just a meal but a cultural moment.

The tour is priced at $50.99 per person, which balances the cost of both the guided walk and dinner. Considering the personal service, local insights, and quality meal, it offers good value. Plus, booking about 40 days in advance helps secure your spot, especially during peak travel season.
