This was an excellent tour - I recommend that you schedule as early in your Napoli stay as possible. The guide is knowledgeable and the accompanying musician and local folklorist made the walk all the more special. This was a highlight of my Napoli stay.

What an amazing tour! A great insight into the folklore and superstitions of Napoli! Answered all my questions and I was even gifted a lottery ticket and a lucky red horn (a symbol of luck in Napoli!) The tour was in English but I really enjoyed the music and singing provided which was all in Italian. Thank you so much for a great tour, it was like walking through Napoli with knowledgable friends!
