Hello! I am Emanuele and I was born and live in Naples, I am deeply in love with the whole gulf of which I consider myself a child, I love to get in touch with the contrasting and fragmented realities that characterize the Neapolitan area and in particular my beloved city, just as I love very much travel and discover cultures and customs different from mine. I have been working in tourism and public relations for 10 years, and I have always felt the need to deviate from the way of doing mass tourism, preferring a vision more oriented towards "travelers" rather than "tourists", putting in contact the people with the different colors of local realities and listen to the thousand voices and the thousand stories they tell. I am not a formal guide but rather I consider myself a cultural mediator between the traveler and the world I know, in order to help him feel part of the reality that surrounds him so that he can touch it with his hand, and experience it, rather than looking at it from the outside as in a shop window. I also believe that this is the best way to make everyone's experience more informal, spontaneous and genuine. So what are you waiting for? Are you coming for a friendly walk with me?

Tour description

Have you ever wished to stop traveling as a tourist and start living as a guest? In Naples, every corner tells a story, every face holds a craft, every workshop is a small universe waiting to be explored.

This is not a tour: it’s an encounter. With the ancient gestures of artisans, with the hoarse voice of the alleyways, with the hands that knead, carve, repair, and weave invisible threads between past and present. There is no fixed route, because the people we meet draw the map. We walk, we listen, we step into the living heart of the city, where time has not surrendered to speed and every object tells the story of its maker.

It’s an informal, adaptable experience, shaped by those who join and by the mood of the Neapolitan sky. We talk about craftsmanship, yes, but also about resilience, identity, and a kind of tourism that doesn’t consume, but nurtures. Sometimes we pause for a coffee, roasted on site in a place that smells of wood and sweet smoke, and from there a conversation starts—or a silence that says everything.

This is not a tour to follow. It’s a time to share. Because Naples is not something you visit—it’s something you walk through, breathe in and let into your soul.
