Plunge into the UNESCO-listed historic centre of Naples for a private tasting odyssey — wood-fired pizza at its birthplace, fried street food in the Quartieri Spagnoli, and then descend into the ancient Greco-Roman tunnels hidden beneath the city.
What to expect
Your guide meets you at the port and leads you through the ancient decumani into the pulsating Quartieri Spagnoli. You'll eat margherita pizza from a centuries-old wood-fired oven, taste cuoppo (fried mixed seafood in a paper cone), and sample sfogliatelle straight from the pastry counter. Then descend beneath the streets into a labyrinth of Greek-era aqueducts and WWII air-raid shelters, torchlit and eerily atmospheric. The contrast of flavour and history is uniquely Neapolitan.
Good to know
Naples historic centre is walkable from the cruise terminal (15–20 min on foot or 5 min by taxi). The underground tour involves narrow passages and some low ceilings — not suitable for severe claustrophobia. Book the Napoli Sotterranea guided slot in advance; pair with a private food guide arranged separately through a licensed Naples guide association.
