| was born in Naples, Italy, back in 1962 on the most famous day of the year in my country, the 15th of August, "Ferragosto" as people here call it. My surname, Esposito, is very common in my city, a surname traditionally emblematic. Whenever you will meet an Esposito, you can be certain you will be dealing with someone of Neapolitan lineage. My first name is Giovanni, an old fashioned name, very popular for my generation, but | was nicknamed Gianni by family and friends. | always loved music, played guitar, actually. . . strummedì, | must confess and I have always been fascinated by blues, country, rock and pop, American or English, but also Italian "cantautori" music. | was just over my teens when, together with a dear friend of mine Salvatore, decided to venture on work experience abroad. In those days, the early eighties, it was London the place to be. Cool and cosmopolitan, London was a melting pot where everything was happening in music, art, culture and fashion, a magnet for youngsters from all over Europe and the whole world. So my friend and Il got on a train, and after having crossed half of Europe, reached London where we spent, unfortunately, only a few months, a lot less then we had hoped. It was an intense and exciting time cut short by a sudden illness that struck my friend, forcing him and me, | couldn't see him go on his own, to return back home. Sadly he then found out he had a rare disease. Those few months | spent in England boost my English and the atmosphere | had savored there cast a spell on me. Once back in Naples | did several jobs. I even worked for a while as a bartender in a popular bar on the city's promenade meeting and enjoying the contact with all kinds of people, tourists and not. Sometime later my dad started having some health problems and I had to replace him on his taxi. The contact with people, especially those from foreign countries, became something | really enjoyed. Different culture and lifestyles intrigued me and stimulated my mind. In 1989 | moved to England, married an English girl and had a child. The birth of my son, Josh brought the sunshine in my life and many years of happiness. Before | actually came back to Italy, after a sad divorce, |took a long trip to China where I stayed for a month. Visiting the Far East had also been one of my dreams since my childhood. Wonderful experience the orient, Magnificent and unforgettable. Travelling has also been a passion of my life and in all those years | spent in England | took trips to visit many countries like France, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Turkey, the Czech Republic and many former Yugoslavian states. Once back in my home town at the grand age of45, | had to start my life from scratch and having been away for so long | felt a foreigner in my own country. Nevertheless | exploited my decent English and found a job as a professional escort driver for tourists. Today | love my job that gives me the opportunity to show and tell the marvels of my homeland, of which | am proud and meet many people of all kind from all over the world. | studied in Italy and eventually got a college degree in Electronic technology. While | lived in England instead | wanted to improve my English and enrolled at the University of Cambridge achieving an ESOL Skills for life unit certificate level 2, in English for speakers of other languages. | also enrolled at the English Speaking Board achieving yet another Certificate in Esol Skills for life at level two. I also got several other educational certificates like Security in Italy and National Vocational Qualifications by City and Guilds of London Institute in retailing. - professional escort driver - University of Cambridge achieving an ESOL Skills for life unit certificate level 2 - Security in Italy and National Vocational Qualifications by City and Guilds of London Institute in retailing I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the archeological sight.

Gianni was amazing to work with! Great communication and he really made our day one of the best! Doing a Viking cruise, this was the only tour we did without Viking. He was very responsive about our concern to get back to the shop on time. We could not imagine things going any better!! Our private Pompeiian guide he set up was awesome. A third generation pompei guide. His excitement and enthusiasm as well as knowledge for Pompeii, made it quite an experience for us. Going in the afternoon after the big groups had laughed, made it feel like we had the place almost to ourselves. The way we traveled starting in Positano first then going to Sorrento then going to Pompeii and back to the ship is how I would’ve done it! Starting at the farthest spot and working your way back makes sense, but that’s not how the big groups do it. This day was really one of our favorites and our whole cruise. It was well worth it and I couldn’t recommend it more! Being a private tour, it was nice that we were able to stop and experience some views that you would never be able to do in a large group bus tour. Plus getting down in Positano and experiencing the town was unreal! That’s one place I definitely like to go to again and spend more time.

From start to finish Gianni was the best! Prior to the tour he was very responsive any time I had a question. He was there early waiting for us outside the cruise terminal and whisked us away on a wonderful tour of the beautiful Amalfi Coast and Pompeii. Gianni is an excellent driver and we were very comfortable in his clean Mercedes van that had great A/C, an absolute must for the time of year we visited (late July). He suggested we start with the Amalfi Coast and to start as early as possible to beat the crowds, and boy was he right! Thanks to him, we were a step ahead of the crowds at every turn. For instance, we arrived to a nearly empty Positano but there were crushing crowds that were coming in just as we were leaving (pro tip: do NOT miss the lemon sorbetto there!). In Pompeii, Gianni arranged for us to have Ciro, a 4th generation Pompeii tour guide and he was absolutely fantastic. He guided us around Pompeii with such passion and really made the city come alive with his stories. He was so great with the kids and also took some fantastic and memorable photos of our group. All in all it was a wonderful day, one that we will never forget. Grazie mille, Gianni and Ciro!!!

Gianni was a wonderful guide for our tour of Positano, Sorrento, and then to Pompeii. He picked us up at the port exactly on time. Gianni was warm, friendly, and easy to talk to as we asked many questions during our tour. Gianni arranged our trip in such a way so that we would miss the large crowds and traffic that was coming from all the cruise ships that day. He took us to see all the picturesque sites along the way giving us time to walk around, grab coffee, lunch, and see all the beauty of the coast. He then took us to Pompeii and handed us over to Paulo who was an expert tour guide of Pompeii. It was a wonderful tour, and Gianni took care of every detail along the way to make it memorable. I highly recommend anyone traveling to Naples to use Gianni as your guide. You will not be disappointed.

Your Naples tour itinerary

This itinerary is one of the ways we can do this tour. - I would suggest going to Positano first because will be less busy early in the morning. - Visited Positano, we will drive to Sorrento before reaching Pompeii in the afternoon, after lunch. - Pompeii will be much quieter in the afternoon compared to the morning. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you may need further information as well as for any change to the itinerary or any special request.
