“All activities with Valeria are awesome! I started my day with her street art & history/local culture tour of the Quartieri Spagnoli, and when she told our group about this new evening boat and walk tour, I was very interested. At the last minute, she contacted her skipper and made it happen. It started with a cruise around the castle with a glass of Prosecco and other treats, then we walked up an unusual path as she told us stories about Naples and the neighborhoods we walked through. There was a beautiful view of the bay! But what really makes tours with Valeria so special though is her knowledge (as a local who has studied the history deeply) and her skill of storytelling. Her connections in the neighborhood also allowed us to see many cool spots and chat with other locals (an old gentleman who makes neon signs, a painter, and others). It is a unique glimpse into parts of Naples you could never see on your own!”

“We were curious about the famous gestures Italian are known for, so we jonined Valeria's class. It took place in a local traditional Cafe and was fun and extremely friendly. Later on when unintentionally I blocked a narrow sidewalk I comprehended the stranger reaction to this and it all made sense.... Thank you again for such a unique, theatratical experience”

“Valeria is the best guide that you can ever find. She is accommodative, considerate, patient and knowledgable. I booked my tour with her at the last minute. She was very empathetic towards my request and accepted it. Due to rains, the other tourists requested her to reschedule and she gladly did. This speaks how kind and amazing she is. On the tour, she gave us the best tour that I could have only imagined. She narrated all stories, folklores, customs and history about the amazing Spanish quarter. She was so knowledgable that whatever questions we asked, she always had an answer to it. She treated us with coffee, pastry and a little giveaway present. For me, if ever there was an award for “Napoli’s best tour guide”..it should be given to only Valeria. I highly recommend her tour, to every tourist who visits Naples. She will definitely make the trip worthwhile.”
