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.

I booked Giuseppe for a Spanish tour for my parents and grandmother and am absolutely delighted I did. He was an amazing guide, friendly and informative. My family thoroughly enjoyed their private tour and learned so much. If you are thinking about booking him, do it!

We hired Mr. Giuseppe for our Vatican tour and enjoyed our time during our visit. Mr. Giuseppe was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional that provided fundamental information to us what we were going to see especially in Sistine Chapel. He laid out our plan on how we spend our time in each section of the museum. He pointed and explained the importance figure or item we saw. The tour was highly educational to us. We enjoyed tremendously our tour. Thank you for the great tour.

Giuseppe is amazing! We spent the day with him in Rome using public transport to get around. He is incredibly knowledgeable and flexible. Will absolutely connect with him again when we are in Rome!

Guiseppe was an excellent tour guide. He took the extra time before we went into the Sistine Chapel to explain what we were about to see and this made our few minutes there very worthwhile. He did an outstanding job of describing many of the statues and artifacts in the Vatican museum and then took us to the Catacombs which were very unique and solemn. An excellent day and we would recommend him to anyone wishing to see highlights of Rome!

Your Rome tour itinerary

The tour starts with the private visit to the Vatican Museums. The visit is at your own pace and I will design the itinerary according to your requests and walking ability. We will cross, comment, and admire: The extraordinary collections of Roman Antiquities and colossal marble statues collected by the Popes. The Gallery of the Tapestries The Gallery of the Maps The Raphael's Rooms The Sistine Chapel from which we have direct access to Saint Peter's Basilica. Pictures in Saint Peter's Square. Lunchtime: "Pizza and Mortazza" at the counter of a Forno? or Pasta alla Carbonara in a no touristy restaurant? This is the enigma, but I will help you to solve it! After this, we will proceed by public transport towards St. Callixtus, or St. Sebastian, or Priscilla Catacombs. We will spend apx 45mins underground! You will learn about the history of the Catacombs and early Christian worship. In certain circumstances, the tour could be run on reverse. Catacombs in the morning and Vatican Museums in the afternoon.
