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.
Ready for the adventure? Let's embark on this unforgettable experience together!
