Naples may be famous for pizza, Vesuvius and its lively streets, but it also has a hidden side shaped by superstition and tradition. On this private tour, you’ll uncover the city’s folklore and the characters that bring Neapolitan culture to life.

Begin in Piazza Bellini, where Greek ruins meet modern Naples. Walk along Via dei Tribunali, hearing tales of rituals and old beliefs, before visiting the Sansevero Chapel, home to Sammartino’s renowned Veiled Christ. Continue to Via San Gregorio Armeno with its artisan nativity workshops, then return to Via dei Tribunali to rub Pulcinella’s nose for luck, admire a Banksy mural and enjoy the street-food scene. Follow Spaccanapoli, pause at Bar Maradona, and reach the Church of Gesù Nuovo with its mysterious façade symbols.

Finish at the Duomo to learn about San Gennaro and his miracles. By the end, you’ll have seen Naples through truly local eyes on a personalised tour.
