Elena Ferrante’s four novels of the series “My Brilliant Friend” has become an international literary phenomenon.
For passionate Ferrante readers we do make tours through Naples by following Lila’s and Elena’s traces.
We will take you first to the difficult working class suburbia where the girls grew up.
Then you will be walking through the other neighborhoods that they meet and know by going to school, by working in a library and in the shoe shop, along their walks with friends. Such meetings show them how different the reality can be from the one they knew since their childhood, and how deep social differences can be and divide people from each other.
While telling about Lila’s and Elena’s stories, your guide will show you several corners of Naples out of the beaten path: for this reason this tour is ideal to discover such a controversial city, that is never foreseen or expected but always surprising in its good and bad aspects.

Our guide , Calo, met us at our hotel with a driver and comfortable transport. All good so far.
Calo then said we were on the 3 hour My Brilliant Friend tour, it was sold as a 6 hour tour. This was hastily solved but from the start it was evident that Calo had limited knowledge about Elena Ferrante and the series of novels. We did start the tour at the housing project/scheme driving hastily past the tunnel but limited information was given and certainly nothing that we didn't already know from reading the novels and watching the TV series. Our disinterested guide then continued the tour asking us where we we would like to go, quite difficult having never been in Naples before
Yes the tour lasted 6 hours but no it wasn't an informative guided Elena Ferrante Tour. I would not recommend this tour to Ferrante fans.

This was such a fun tour! We visited many places that were featured in the book and the TV series. Our tour guide, Guilia, was an expert on the book and had actually watched the filming of many of the scenes for the TV series. She also took us on a day-long tour of the city of Naples and not only brought the book to life but also the city of Naples. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Guilia!
