About this tour
This session is a coffee and pastry morning through central Naples, starting at a historic café on Piazza Trieste e Trento and moving to a pasticceria and a doughnut counter. You see the two versions of sfogliatella side by side, a baba soaking in rum, and the graffa doughnut sold at a nearby stand. The route covers three counters rather than a full walking tour.
The call opens with a sound check, then the guide moves counter to counter explaining each pastry and how the city drinks its coffee, with time for questions throughout. A short list of where to find each item is sent afterwards.
This suits early risers planning a Naples trip, or anyone who simply likes talking about pastry.
Included

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 7 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Naples before heading out.
-
Gran Caffè, Piazza Trieste e Trento 21 min
At the marble counter of this historic café, the guide explains how Neapolitans order and drink their espresso standing up, usually in under a minute.
-
A pasticceria counter 21 min
Side by side on the counter, the camera shows sfogliatella riccia next to its softer cousin frolla, and a baba left to soak in rum before serving.
-
A graffa doughnut counter 21 min
At a stand near the market, the guide points out graffe, the Neapolitan potato doughnut, and explains why it is usually a morning rather than an afternoon treat.

Your questions 14 min
Time to ask anything about Naples: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 6 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Spaghetti alle vongole and Chiaia, worth a slower look.
