Had such a good time with Antonio! We did one in Florence as well and I love the authenticity of the cuisine and the history accompanied with the meal. So awesome!
Historical History of Naples with the food. The best were the rice balls and pasta with mussels. Also the store with the cheese and salami was a good choice. A start time of 4PM for the evening tour would be better so as not to arrive at the pastry shop at closing. A stop at a good Naples pizzeria for a slice would be a good addition. Our tour guide was very good . Was not impressed with the fried pasta.
This is definitely a must do in Naples. Our guide, Domenico, was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the Historic District. The wine, street food, restaurant, and sidewalk dining was great and gave us a good overview of the historic district. I loved the grilled octopus and I would not have tried that on my own. Domenico was attentive to our group and noticed towards the end of the tour that we needed a taxi for the grandmoms. He called us a taxi and helped me give our address to the taxi driver. Thanks Domenico for a great food tour and for taking care of us!
Before taking this tour, I thought Naples was only known for its pizza. This tour opened my eyes with the variety of Neapolitan cuisine! Our food ambassador/guide, Nicola, was a local of Naples and was very knowledgeable about his hometown. Our group had many different dietary restrictions (myself included) and he was extremely patient and accommodating to each and everyone! I felt taken care of and really enjoyed this tour. It was more than JUST a food tour- it was also a walk through Naples' historical center which was super neat! I wouldn't have been able to find my way through those streets on my own. We went to at least 6 different stops with food and wine selections at each place. Some street food and some restaurants, it was a well-rounded tour with delicious food. We kept thinking we were at the last spot (from the amount of food!) but we kept learning we had stops after! You definitely get what you pay for. If you're a foodie or just want a nice walking tour around Naples- stopping in local spots that you may not be able to find on your own, I highly recommend Walking Palates! I'd love to take their other tours that they offer throughout Italy!
Antoinella was awesome! She is a native of Napoli and was knowledgeable and passionate about her home city! Her food choices were great and you won't go home hungry!
