Ciao! My name is Giada, which means a little green precious stone (Jade). As my name suggests I am a tiny, smiling and very talkative person, and a professional licensed tourist guide of the Campania Region. I was born and still live in Salerno, a charming medieval town on the seaside, outside the beaten path, where the first western school of medicine was born. I haven't been always interested in what I am doing, because my first passion was the theatre. I studied classical dance and violin for a long time. Those are anyway different forms of arts and so at the moment I finished high school I decided to improve my knowledge about history of art. I studied 3 years at the University of Salerno, and then other 2 years at the University of Rome, to be an art historian. The decision to be a guide arrived later, when I was in the capital and was doing tours for a particular exhibition the University organised. I enjoyed so much that period, and I loved the job that tourists really appreciated, giving great feedback. I decided to study English to do the exam for the licence and here I am! Today it's not about what I do anymore, but what I am. . . a guide. I worked also as a trip leader, for a 17days tour of the South of Italy, so I know what taking care of tourists means, and as an event organizer for temporary exhibitions. Thanks to these job experiences I could improve my skills and I am now very organized and detail-oriented. What I will offer you is an experience, I hope you can share and remember. Tours of history, art, monuments, and landscapes of Salerno, or Amalfi, the main maritime republic, a lovely beautiful village on the famous coast, or a jump into the ancient Greek, and roman, history and culture you can live again visiting the archaeological site of Poseidonia/Paestum. It is also a time we will spend together, walking and talking with a deep insight into the real life of my hometown, and not only, giving you a taste of all the aspects, including local food, accompanied with my passion, enthusiasm, and personality. If this is what you are looking for, come to Campania Region and contact me. I am more than happy and willing to customize any tours. Licensed tourist guide of Campania Region since 2014. Master degree in History of arts at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". Bachelor's degree in Cultural Heritage at the University of Salerno. Master in Event Organisation. I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Pompei tour

79 A. D. the huge and famous eruption of Mount Vesuvius destroyed and buried the roman colony of Pompeii. It, basically, affected a vast aerea, but Pompeii is the most interesting archaeological site where you can still breath the real life of the Romans. We will walk through the original ancient street and get inside private and public buildings, such as houses, the roman forum, the amphitheater, the thermal bath. I will explain to you their life, how advanced they were solving problems and being very organized. We will also admire amazing paintings and mosaics still intact. It will be one of most beautiful experience of your trip, because Pompeii is unique but also because I will do my best for you, avoiding crowds, sharing my knowledge with passion and smiles. What are you waiting for?

Giada was the best. We strongly recommend her tour. Her knowledge and expertise was astounding. Pompeii is much larger than we had envisioned. Giada was able to navigate the area with ease .

Giada was an excellent guide for our small group of 4. She really knew the backstories and archeology of Oplontis and Pompeii. Very fascinating. There was a little snag caused by the railroad going on strike just when we finished the Oplontis tour, but we fortunately found a nice gentlemen who drove us to Pompeii. Giada knew of the issue and we were lucky to see her again once we got to Pompeii. She was waiting for us. We couldn't get her texts because we were not connected to Wi-Fi. We would highly recommend her for anyone wishing to learn more about these fascinating archeological sites. (Note that we tried to do this review a few weeks ago but the website didn't seem to be working correctly).

This was one of the best tours I've ever experienced. Our guide Giada was extremely knowledgeable and experienced with Pompei and MTV. We were a group of 4, which was a perfect number, as Pompei is a heavily toured location. Most of the other groups we saw were massive, while ours was more intimate and gave each of us more time to ask questions. There were no questions Giada couldn't answer. She was so patient with us, full of energy and very fun to be around. This is a must do while in Naples!!

Your Pompei tour itinerary

Pompeii is huge that means we will see the most iconic places. The Amphitheater, the Forum, thermal bath but also streets, shops and decorated roman houses, with mosaics, paintings and sculptures. Parte of the experience is the visit to one of the places where the plaster casts of the victims of the eruption are preserved. According to the situation of each single day, in case of crowds, I will decide which houses in particular we will visit. The tour can be customized 100%: if you need extra hours of guided tour or a private driver and a van (for a different price)
