Ciao! My name is Rosa, I’m a professional walking and hiking guide across the Amalfi Coast and the Cilento National Park. I’ve been exploring these paths since I was 12 years old, and that childhood passion has become my life’s work and what I love to share with my guests today.  I believe the best way to discover my region is on foot—it’s the most relaxing and truthful way to connect with the land. I think my tours are specials because I prefer the authentic places, where you can experience the real life. I prefer to think people coming here as travelers, not only tourists so I plan my tours by asking myself: "What would I want to experience if I were visiting this place for the first time?"  Together, we’ll escape the crowded places to find "secret" spots reachable only by ancient trails. Along the way, it’s common to meet local farmers with their donkeys or working in the fields. They are as curious about you as you are about them, often stopping for a friendly chat that makes you feel truly welcome.  To travel is also to taste! I'm a foodie and I love to share my favorite local spots—from family-run organic farms to home restaurants tucked away in vineyards. We can have a mozzarella-making class, a Limoncello or Wine tasting or plan a pasta workshop. People are very proud of their places, generous in sharing their knowledge and they will make you feel part of the family! I specialize in small, intimate groups (typically 4-7 people) to ensure a high-quality, personal connection. However, I can host up to 12 guests and I am happy to customize every detail based on your pace and preferences.  Join me for an experience that will leave you with lifelong memories. I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun—I can’t wait to meet you! * Licenced official guide of Vesuvius National Park from 2008 * part of AIGAE (Italian Association of Excursions Guides)from 2012 to 2021 * part of LAGAP (Italian Association of Professional Guides for Excursions) from 2022 * IELTS Certification in English Language - level C1 Advanced (UK in 2011) I cannot guide inside archeological sites, museums and churches. I can do city trekking tours or walking, hiking and trekking tours along paved path or mountain walks

Overview of your Salerno tour

Salerno is my hometown, a nice and small town located at the side of the Amalfi Coast. It's pretty enjoyable with its nice "lungomare", a long walk along the sea, with its tiny alleys and the calm atmosphere. We start our walk from the very new PIAZZA delle LIBERTA' through its historical center. Along the way we discover the different layers of history, still visible in the architecture: the ancient ROMAN FORUM and the medieval part with its ARECHI CASTLE as well as monasteries and convents belonging to different religious orders and beautiful palaces dating back to the 15°-16° century. As the story of Salerno is strongly related to the first school of medicine, along the way we can admire beautiful medical gardens settled in terraces overlooking the bay. Optional visit to the MINERVA GARDEN (6€ pp -tkt) Finally reaching the highest spot we have an astonishing view of all Salerno bay up to the Amalfi Coast. This walk gives you an overview on the town of Salerno but it's also a off the beaten path tour.
