7 Naples Market Tours Worth an Early Start

1.Naples Street Food Experience with local guide – Small Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 64 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $38Our pick

Walk through central Naples with a local guide, seeing Castel Nuovo, Teatro San Carlo, Galleria Umberto I, Piazza del Plebiscito, Via Toledo, and Pignasecca Market. You will sample Neapolitan specialties during this roughly two-hour English tour. Confirm the meeting point before you go.

“El tour estuvo bastante bien en general, lo que pasa es que solo íbamos dos personas hispanohablantes y las otras eran italianas, entonces creo que se emocionaban hablando entre ellos y nosotras en ocasiones quedábamos por fuera, la dinámica del tour pues es caminando entre un montón de personas pues también dificultaba escuchar o que se pudiera compartir más. La contextualización básica y general sobre la gastronomía italiana estuvo muy bien al igual que los dos lugares seleccionados para probar.”

“Anna and Giovani our tour guides were very attentive and knowledgeable of the area. Giovani was new to Viator and was as knowledgeable as Anna. we felt so comfortable as if we knew them as friends. They didn't rush through the tour. It seemed like they knew all the venders that we stopped at. it was one of the best tours we been on in our travels and will recommend Viator to everyone and to ask for Anna and Giovani.”

5.City and Street Food Market

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 16 reviews · 2 hours · from $40

In two hours, a local guide such as Lorenzo, Carmela, or Diana leads you from Piazza Municipio past the Maschio Angioino, Galleria Umberto I, Piazza del Plebiscito, and Via Toledo to Pignasecca Market. Along the way, you taste pizza a portafoglio, frittatina, sfogliatella, lemonade, and espresso.

“Il tour è stato bello e la guida molto brava. Il prezzo è un po’ troppo cara per quello che offre, non giustificati dai costi per il cibo consumato, giustificabile in parte per il tour in piccoli gruppi. Unire però persone di lingue diverse nel gruppo non è il massimo, anche se la guida è stata bravissima a destregggiarsi nel spiegare prima in italiano e poi in inglese, ma significa che mentre spiega ai altri, il gruppo della prima lingua deve attendere e viceversa”
