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.

Overview of your Naples tour

Follow me to experience two incredible adventures like being in a movie: The last hours of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius climbing. It was 10am on October 24th, 79AD when Mount Vesuvius started to rumble. In Pompeii, there was a lack of water since days and that morning there weren't birds flying around. At 1. 00pm the Volcano exploded with the power of 50 thousand times Hiroshima. Yes! you got it: 50 thousand times Hiroshima!! Pompeii was literally swallowed by the pyroclastic flow and ashes while the citizens who did not abandon the town died suffocated or completely disintegrated. This tour is engaging for the entire family and particularly stimulating for your kids. They will be enchanted by my stories about Pompeii and afterward, they could work off all their energy and vitality climbing the still active volcano Vesuvius to reach the edge of the crater and to walk it along. In between get the chance to enjoy a very genuine lunch in a local family farm on a terrace dominating the entire Bay of Naples.

Giuseppe met us promptly at our ship. He asked us exactly what we wanted to do, describing alternatives if we wanted. He took us early to Pompeii and he had the tickets to go right in. Giuseppe gave us a wonderful, educational, and interesting tour of Pompeii. He knew where to go to be away from the people that were starting to accumulate as it got later. We loved it there. He then took us to a wonderful restaurant to eat (prices were varied so all could afford). After being at Pompeii for 3 hours in the heat the air conditioning was wonderful, as was the meal. We chose to have Giuseppe drive up as far as we could and then we hiked the last 1000 feet (all up hill!!!!). Giuseppe waited for us, giving us a meeting time. I was contacted regularly by Giuseppe via the app. He always answered my questions and gave suggestions before we left the USA. I would absolutely recommend Giuseppe.

Giuseppe was the best guide! Full of knowledge that he shares and caters to his clients. He was super flexible for any of our needs … including our train being an hour late due to a problem on the railways. His communication is top notch and he’s an absolute delight to work with. We have used MANY personal guides and Giuseppe can’t be beat.

We had two spectacular days with Giuseppe, one in Rome and one in Naples. He was so fantastic to work with and coordinate the two days. He provided plenty of information before the trip about what to expect. Because we had a group of 9 people we needed additional transportation, which he arranged, and these drivers were friendly, great drivers, and very accommodating. Our group consisted of 5 children, ages 8-12, and Giuseppe was very friendly and patient with them, he answered all of their questions, and put up with their shenanigans. All of us learned so much on the two tours and were amazed at what we saw and how informative Giuseppe was. It was also fascinating how he tied the three major sites together that we visited. If you are looking for a tour guide in Rome, Naples, or any of the other locations he works, feel confident that you will have a great experience.

Giuseppe was an outstanding tour guide in Napoli! His deep knowledge and engaging stories brought the ancient city of Pompeii to life, making our visit truly memorable. On the way to Mount Vesuvius, he treated us to a fantastic local restaurant, adding a delicious touch to our day. Giuseppe's passion for Italian history and his ability to connect us with the local culture made our experience exceptional. If you want a guide who combines expertise with a personal touch, Giuseppe is the one!

Giuseppe is an excellent guide. He is very passionate about his job and provided so much information on the sights we visited. This is the first time we have used this service and will be planning on using your services again in the future. I will definitely be referring the tour guy to everyone I know.

If you want the most excellent guide use Guisseppe, This was our last day of 5 with him and didnt disappoint , just like the previous 4 days. Pompeii was truly a walk back in time with him explaining all the details. We did a great wine tour/lunch. Then walked it all off on mount Vesuvius. At the end he not only dropped us off at the train station but walked us in and showed us where to get on etc... Truly first class service!!!!

Your Naples tour itinerary

I will be your private guide in Pompeii and your driver/guide all tour long. I am flexible and ready to customize the tour. -We drive in the shade of Vesuvius and flanking the entire Bay of Naples. -In Pompeii we spend 2,5hrs. We cross the city going from the Marina Gate to the Grand Theater. We explore: The Forum including the Basilica, the Macellum, Apollo Temple, the Granaries, Jupiter Temple. We enter the Bath-House and Private Homes guarding the best frescoes and mosaics; a Pistrinum (bakery); a Thermopolium (snack bar); the Small and Grand Theatre. You see the plaster casts of human bodies. Lunch break could be spent how you desire. I suggest a lovely farm with a spectacular view and excellent food. We make our way to Mount Vesuvius. I softly drive you to the foot of the crater (3000 feet). Finally, you start to climb the cone as far as the edge. It takes 25mins one way. The view goes from Miseno Cape to Sorrento including the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida. A feast for your eye
