Simona, la nostra guida, con la sua competenza e grandissima simpatia ci ha regalato un paio d'ore che consigliamo assolutamente a tutti!!!

uno dei tour più belli a cui abbiamo mai partecipato la guida Rossella (spero di ricordare bene il nome) è entusiasta e trasmette tutto il cuore di Napoli preparatissima, abbiamo scoperto tante cose interessanti che andavano ben oltre ai soliti cenni storici due ore volate in un attimo SUPER SUPER SUOER CONSIGLIATO

Questo sito ci è stato consigliato da un amico che frequenta spesso Napoli per motivi familiari. Abbiamo fatto il tour di Spaccanapoli e poi il giro al rione Sanità a tema Totó. Ci sono piaciuto molto, le guide sono preparate e illustrano storia e curiosità in modo da far comprendere a chi non è del posto fatti ed abitudini locali. Molto consigliato. Ripeteremo sicuramente con i tour che non abbiamo fatto questa volta.

Il tour per il centro di Napoli passando per le vie dello street food è stato interessantissimo e bellissimo. Simona, del gruppo Insolitaguida è stata impeccabile e con la sua vera napoletanità ci ha fatto gustare la vera Napoli. Io e la mia compagnia di 20 coscritti siamo rimasti pienamente soddisfatti. Consigliatissimo il tour con lei.

Abbiamo visitato Napoli per il ponte dell’immacolata prenotando la visita guidata qualche settimana prima . La nostra guida, Vanessa è stata veramente super!! Precisa, preparata, simpatica e gentile. È stato utile per apprezzare ancora di più le bellezze di questa città straordinaria .

Insieme a 5 amiche abbiamo trascorso una bellissima giornata con Simona (guida molto preparata, simpatica, empatica, partenopea doc), che, partendo dal Duomo per continuare tra chiese, vie storiche di Napoli, visita importante come il Cristo Velato, pizza e quartieri spagnoli, ci ha accompagnato arricchendo la visita con aneddoti, oltre a nozioni storiche, con una piacevolissima cadenza napoletana!!! È la terza volta che opto per Insolita guida e devo dire che si riconferma sempre un’ottima scelta.Alla prossima!
