Please meet the guide at Piazza Bellini next to the Greek ruins. NOT under the statue. Your guide will be holding a sign written "Street Food Tour". Please note Piazza Bellini is located a few minutes walking distance from "Dante" metro station.
Important notes
Please make sure you arrive at the meeting point at least 10 minutes early. Naples is a very busy city, please, make sure to arrive on time, leave earlier your accommodation or you may lose the tour due traffic jam. The tour will start sharp on time (11am or 6pm according to your choice at the time of booking). We strongly suggest you to not reach the city center by car (if so leave very early). If you are coming from the Amalfi Coast make sure to leave very early (more than 2 hours, there are a lot of traffic jam on the way to Naples). It's NOT possible to join the activity once it has started. This is key to ensuring the quality of your experience.
