Hello Everybody, My name is Giuseppe and I am Son of Southern Italy. I am 44, and, since 2004, I have been an authorized professional TOUR GUIDE in NAPLES and ROME Regions. Additionally, I am an N. C. C. licensed DRIVER and I run a Deluxe Mercedes Van with all comforts. I am the only one, on "Toursbylocals. com" to lead Private Tours in Rome and Naples. I combine my knowledge of the sites with expertise and flexibility to make all my tours informative, dynamic and safe. I am an excellent "TOUR CREATOR"! This is the reason why I don't have so many "standardized tours" listed on my page! I believe that every private tour is a "unique piece". It must be shaped on the needs and wishes, expectations and feelings, physical attitudes and time factor of my guests. If you are planning to visit Rome or Naples or if your cruise ship docks in both ports, I can be your personal GUIDE and DRIVER in both areas. You get this way two advantages: one single person to rely on and a way for you to save MONEY. Pompeii, Herculaneum, Naples, the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Sorrento, but also the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, Colosseum and the whole city of Rome have no secrets for me. This is my LAND and I am the face, voice, and body of it! This is what stimulates me to do my job with competence, passion, and sense of responsibility. I love to lead tours for FAMILIES and interact with kids, couples, and small parties of friends traveling together. I love to teach and it comes naturally to me to lead EDUCATIONAL TOURS for students. Moreover, I have a specific talent to lead SHORE EXCURSIONS to make, for all cruisers, the best of their time. So just formulate your request and I will reply to you PROMPTLY. What about my background? I have a Master Degree in Economics with a Specialization in ECONOMIC HISTORY. Since I was at university my true passion for exploring and my great interests in fine arts and archaeology showed up. I spent many years traveling and working as TOUR LEADER all over Europe for important tour operators. This experience gave me the chance to understand people's lifestyles and to improve the foreign languages which I learned attending the British Council Institute for English, the Instituto Cervantes for Spanish and the Cial for Portuguese. When I travel abroad, I don't want to be just a spectator standing by a balcony. I want to interact with the locals. I can't wait to welcome you, to show you my COUNTRY through my eyes and to make you live not a simple tour but an intense journey into the local culture and life. Do not hesitate a minute longer, follow me and have fun! Giuseppe P. S. If you are looking for your ideal place to stay in Naples, I gently inform you that I have a totally New and sunny Apartment in the Center of Naples, ready to welcome you! Qualifying examinations: • Authorized Tour Guide of Campania Region, Regione Campania; • Authorized Tour Guide of Rome and its Province, Provincia di Roma; • Authorized Tour Guide of Bologna; • Authorized National and International Tour Leader; • N.C.C. Licensed Driver; "N.C.C. License" is the specific license authorizing to drive travelers throughout Europe. With this license, travelers are protected by a proper insurance.

Overview of your Naples tour

When the fury of Vesuvius buried Pompeii and Herculaneum during the eruption of 79 AD, the two cities were in full splendor. Pompeii was a chaotic port town with a bustle of people from all over the place; Herculaneum a sumptuous Summer resort. I am not an archaeologist. That's why I won't bore you during our visit. I am a professional tour guide with a devastating passion for Archaeology and History. This is definitely my Tour! Far from the crowds, we will explore Pompeii and Herculaneum walking into the foot-steps of their ancient citizens: an unscrupulous merchant, a lazy patrician, a powerful matron, a slave or an invincible gladiator. You will learn about their everyday life but also political and love intrigues. We'll admire amazing frescoes and mosaics and enter ancient taverns, bath-houses and "stinky" latrines. I will also be your driver. If you wish I could softly take you, during our break, on the slopes of Vesuvius for an incredible culinary experience based on local wine and genuine food.

I cannot recommend Giuseppe enough! His knowledge and passion for the area is incredible. Of all the tour guides we had in Italy, he was by far the best.

Giuseppe’s fluent English, historical knowledge, and energy made this a great way to spend a day enjoying Italy. His private transportation is exceptional and he was able to customize this tour for our travel needs. The archeological sites of Pompeii and the area were arranged to avoid the most crowds while offering an interesting depth of knowledge. His years of experience as a guide made for a smooth and stress free day of touring. We highly recommend Giuseppe for a first class experience.

Giuseppe was great! Very knowledgable and professional. If he suggests lunch, don’t miss it. The view, the food and the wine tasting were spectacular. So much to see and learn, we could do it again.

Giuseppe knows his stuff! This friendly, great, and very informative tour guide showed us Pompeii plus Herculaneum and tailored the tour to our needs and what we wanted to see and was interested in. He was waiting for us at the cruise port, and gave us direct instructions on how to locate him, dressed nicely, very professional and friendly. Tour included all the tickets we needed to see the two ancient cites, and cold water in the Van. My next tour in Rome/Naples area will be with Giuseppe

Giuseppe was an excellent tour guide for our family. He kept all four of our children, ages 10-19, engaged and interested for the entire 8 hours. We learned so much about both sites and found it very valuable to see both places in one long day. Lunch at the winery on Mt. Vesuvius was a lovely break, as was the stop for a much-needed and delicious cappuccino! Grazie mille, Giuseppe!

Absolutely fantastic tour and guide. Customized the tour to our unique request to include a winery tour and luncheon as we own a winery in the USA. Hr kept us entertained throughout a long day with exceptional knowledge and a great positive attitude even when unexpexted traffic due to a movie being filmed kept us out more than an hour later than expected. Fantastic communication made this a great and effortless day.

Your Naples tour itinerary

I will be your private guide and your driver all day long. The tour is flexible and totally customizable. - In Pompeii we spend a minimum of 2. 30hrs. We walk from the ancient City Walls to the spectacular Grand Theatre. We explore the Forum and all the buildings it houses. - We enter a couple of aristocratic private homes and see frescoes and mosaics, a public bath-house, taverns, bakeries and shops. Our highlights include the fascinating Plaster Casts of human bodies. - In Herculaneum the visit is centered on the exploration of majestic Domus, private residences. They guard intact frescoes and the best "glass pasta mosaics". A special focus will be about the differences from Pompeii site: the second floor of buildings and the sewer are samples. Finally, in the shipyards of the ancient beach we see the skeletons of 250 citizens who perished during the eruption. - Lunch break could be spent anywhere you desire. My suggestion is a lovely organic farm house by the foot of Vesuvius with spectacular view.
