Lunch, snacks and coffee are all in the price. 4.87 from 225 reviews for 5h. In our comparison: #4 of 9 in Food & Street Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Naples is a city with an unmistakable pulse, where centuries of history, everyday street life and one of Italy’s richest culinary traditions all collide. We’ll begin in the historic center with Neapolitan coffee, sfogliatella and babà before diving into traditional food shops for limoncello, seasonal street food and, naturally, pizza in more than one form. From there, we’ll move beyond the old city walls into lively market neighborhoods rarely explored by visitors. Along the way, we’ll stop at a baccaleria devoted to salt cod, taste mineral-rich water from Vesuvius and visit a family-run bakery to prepare Neapolitan caponata with freselle, mozzarella and piennolo tomatoes. Throughout the day, we’ll meet the bakers, vendors, shopkeepers and artisans who keep Naples’ food traditions alive. ## Before you book - Meeting point: FOR MONDAY MORNING & ALL AFTERNOON… - Starts 09:30, 15:00: 2 departures a day - Food included: Lunch, Snacks - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €23: ages 0 to 6 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €136 per person - Duration: 5h - Rating: 4.87/5 from 225 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Culinary Backstreets Walks - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 09:30, 15:00 - Booking: Confirmation within 48 hours, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-03 ## Reviews 4.87 from 225 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 97% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 218 of 225. - 5 stars: 210 (93%) - 4 stars: 8 (4%) - 3 stars: 1 (0%) - 2 stars: 5 (2%) - 1 star: 1 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the guides' local knowledge and visits to family businesses, though some find individual tastings disappointing. **Praised:** - Warm guides who connect local dishes with Naples' history and culture - Visits to family businesses and opportunities to meet food makers and artisans - Food shops and neighbourhoods beyond the usual tourist routes - A wide selection of local foods, with many travellers leaving full - Small groups that allow questions and personal conversation **Complaints:** - Some enjoy every tasting while others find individual dishes bland or disappointing Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2024-10-06 to 2026-09-30); last checked 2026-10-04. ## What's included - Lunch - Snacks - Coffee and/or Tea ## Itinerary 1. **Naples** (5h) - We will wander the city's historic backstreets and sample some of the best things Naples has to offer, from traditional pastries to the finest pizza in the world! ## Schedule - Runs: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat - Departures: 09:30, 15:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-03 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point FOR MONDAY MORNING & ALL AFTERNOON TOURS: Monday & Afternoons.
