Highlights
Naples may be famous for pizza, Vesuvius and its lively streets, but it also has a hidden side shaped by superstition and tradition. On this private tour, you’ll uncover the city’s folklore and the characters that bring Neapolitan culture to life. Begin in Piazza Bellini, where Greek ruins meet modern Naples. Walk along Via dei Tribunali, hearing tales of rituals and old beliefs, before visiting the Sansevero Chapel, home to Sammartino’s renowned Veiled Christ. Continue to Via San Gregorio Armeno with its artisan nativity workshops, then return to Via dei Tribunali to rub Pulcinella’s nose for luck, admire a Banksy mural and enjoy the street-food scene. Follow Spaccanapoli, pause at Bar Maradona, and reach the Church of Gesù Nuovo with its mysterious façade symbols. Finish at the Duomo to learn about San Gennaro and his miracles. By the end, you’ll have seen Naples through truly local eyes on a personalised tour.

About Naples
Passionate and chaotic beneath Vesuvius, Naples is the birthplace of pizza and the gateway to Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
The historic centre, a dense grid of streets laid out by the ancient Greeks, is a world of churches, street shrines and laundry strung between balconies. Spaccanapoli cuts straight through it, Via San Gregorio Armeno is lined with nativity-scene workshops, and the Sansevero Chapel holds the astonishing Veiled Christ. Underground, tunnels and cisterns reveal the Greek and Roman city below.
Top-ranked sights in Naples: Mt. Vesuvius (Monte Vesuvio), Via dei Tribunali, Naples Historic Center (Napoli Centro Storico).
