Experience Naples like a local — with me as your guide! Join a relaxed 3-day weekend adventure (Sept 19–21) through the vibrant soul of Naples, just in time for the Festival of San Gennaro, the city’s most heartfelt and colorful celebration. Together, we’ll dive into the historic center’s winding alleys 🏙️, uncover hidden gems along artisan-filled streets 🎭, wander through lively markets 🥭🍅, and soak in the views along the seaside promenade. And of course — you’ll get to taste Naples’ unforgettable street food 🍕🍦 while hearing real stories that only a local can share 📖. Authentic, immersive, and budget-friendly — this is Naples at its best. You’ll walk, eat, laugh, and live the city like a true Neapolitan — with time to explore, relax, and take part in unique local traditions. 🩸 What’s San Gennaro?

On this weekend, locals gather in the Cathedral for the “miracle” of the liquefaction of his blood — a centuries-old ritual full of emotion, folklore, and faith. The city comes alive with music, street food, and celebrations. It’s a truly one-of-a-kind moment to witness Naples in its most authentic spirit.
