About this experience
Naples is rich in heritage and culinary culture – and this tour combines both to give you a real taste of the city. You'll dip in and out of old town eateries, bakeries and markets, sampling Neapolitan delights both edible and aesthetic. Lorenzo, one of our expert guides, says, ‘Locals love Pignasecca market, and it'll definitely whet your appetite. Vendors sell the freshest ingredients – you'll see everything from live shellfish to delicate stonefruit. It's no coincidence that Neapolitan cooking is so simple and delicious – we have the best ingredients.'
