Ciao! My name is Gaetano , and I'm your Professional tour leader & hiking guide in the breathtaking regions of Southern Italy: the Amalfi Coast, and the Cilento area. Growing up in the small town of Cava de' Tirreni, surrounded by mountains and a few minutes away from the Amalfi Coast, nature became an integral part of my life from an early age. My passion for the outdoors, coupled with a deep love for my homeland's culture and history, led me to pursue a career in Tourism. After completing my education in Political Sciences, I traveled extensively throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, as well as Central and South America. After seven years leading overland tours on the five Continents, winning a Silver Award at the 2011 Wanderlust World Guide Awards, and three years guiding in Europe, I decided to move back home and guide tourists in Southern Italy. My mission is to create authentic, meaningful connections between my guests and the natural wonders of Southern Italy. In fact, I can create tailor-made itineraries, with local experiences, according to your needs. Safety is always a top priority, and I ensure that every excursion is tailored to the group's abilities and interests, making it an enjoyable experience for all. Being a tour leader and hiking guide in Southern Italy, allows me to share the wonders of these enchanting regions with fellow adventurers, and nature enthusiasts. Witnessing the awe and joy on my guests' faces as they explore the hidden gems of our land, fills me with immense satisfaction. Whether you're a seasoned hiker, a nature lover eager to explore, or you just looking for a relaxed itinerary to discover hidden places, I'm excited to guide you on an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking landscapes and cultural treasures of Southern Italy.

Gaetano is amazing! My clients had the best time with him. Before the hike, he was in touch to re-confirm services. Throughout the hike he accommodated their dietary needs. Clients had a service animal with them and we are certain Gaetano has a new furry friend! The shepherd's hut was a real treat and the food/views were incredible. Can't say enough how wonderful he...

Thank you very much, Jennifer and Dominic, it was really an amazing day, especially for what we did because of the road closure. Grazie mille
We had an amazing time with Gaetano during the Path of the Gods tour. He was very friendly, knowledgeable of the trail and of the plants of the region, made us feel welcome and had a good sense of humour. The path of the Gods is a beautiful trail with amazing views. We would highly recommend this tour.
