Hello everyone! I am Valeria, Neapolitan, born and raised in the Spanish neighborhood and founder of Around with A Local. In love with Naples and a passionate student of its history, I love sharing who I am and what I know with travelers from all over the world. Graduated from the Oriental of Naples in Languages and Cultures, then I moved to Turin to specialize with a master's degree in International Communication for Tourism. A tireless traveler, I have dedicated my educational career to language learning and tourism. I love visiting places far from my native culture: That's why with Around with a Local we try to create a true cultural and human exchange between travelers. Our goal is to shift attention from classic mass tourism to a more intimate and conscious tourism, aimed at creating an exchange between knowledge and a deep understanding of the places visited. The dialogues between traveler and guide are the key to an experience that looks at the entire territory. The Around with a Local team is two friends, me and Joanita, both born and raised in those neighborhoods that we want to show you!

Tour description

Hello! We at Around With A Local will accompany you to discover Rione Sanità, one of the most fascinating and authentic neighborhoods in the city.

A place that holds centuries of history, art, contrasts, and above all, rebirth.

This tour goes beyond classic mass tourism: it is a journey between the sacred and the profane, noble palaces and popular alleys, urban art and ancient traditions, but above all between urban regeneration projects and social redemption that have changed the face of the neighborhood thanks to the commitment of the community and the youth.

You will visit:

Porta San Gennaro
Palazzo dello Spagnuolo, Palazzo San Felice
The murals of Totò, Troisi, and De Filippo
Piazza Sanità
Commemorative statue of Genny Ceserano
Basilica of Santa Maria della Sanità (subject to availability)
Catacombs of San Gaudioso (visit not included in the tour price)
Blue Church of the Cristallini (subject to availability)

It is not just a tour about the history of Naples, but rather about the urban and cultural regeneration of a neighborhood, where art, sustainable tourism, and social initiatives have transformed fragility into opportunities. A neighborhood often told only through stereotypes that has become a model of redemption, creativity, and participation.

Only for those seeking a non-conventional, authentic, and immersive experience, suitable for both adults and children, for those who love to know places through the stories of the people who inhabit them. Not suitable for those seeking confirmation of stereotypical anecdotes about Naples and Neapolitans.

The tour is activated upon reaching 6 participants.
