I was born and raised in Pompeii, between Naples and Sorrento, with the whole region as my playground. On my scooter I could spend a morning on hidden beaches along the Sorrento and Amalfi Coasts, an afternoon in Naples' museums and streets, and an evening out in the city. Being local isn't just about the famous landmarks. It's about the rhythm of everyday life, the traditions that shape these communities, and the small details that make this corner of Italy special. I've travelled widely, and I speak Italian, English, and Portuguese. For seven years I've worked as a Tour Manager with American and international travel companies, learning what travellers look for in Italy, and the unspoken needs different cultures bring. History is everywhere here, and you don't need a local to admire it. What a local truly offers is access to experiences you'd never find in a guidebook. Everyone knows Pompeii, Positano, and pizza, and rightly so. But the real magic lies beyond the postcards. I love showing travellers the hidden side of Southern Italy: family-run wine bars in Naples' backstreets, secret viewpoints, authentic trattorias where locals gather, quiet beaches only insiders can find, and traditions passed down for generations.
Their expertise · Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, with friends, or simply looking for a more immersive experience, I love helping people who are eager to embrace a destination through its people, flavours, and atmosphere. If you're open-minded, adventurous, and excited to discover places that most visitors overlook, we'll get along perfectly. My specialties include: • Neapolitan lifestyle and local culture • Food, wine, and authentic culinary experiences • Naples nightlife and social scene • Hidden gems along the Amalfi and Sorrento Coasts • Art, history, and cultural experiences • Off-the-beaten-path itineraries • Solo travelers and couples seeking authentic connections • Customized experiences built around your interests I truly believe that the perfect trip exists. It's the right balance between breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable meals, ancient traditions, spontaneous discoveries, and sunset aperitivos overlooking the sea. My goal is simple: to help you experience Southern Italy not as a tourist, but as someone who truly belongs here—even if only for a few unforgettable days. Together, we'll create an itinerary that reflects your personality, pace, and travel style.

Through personalised advice, recommendations, and local insights, I help you design an itinerary that truly reflects the city’s identity and your own travel style. Whether you’re looking for must-see highlights or hidden corners, I provide guidance on what to visit, how to visit it, and when, so you can make the most of your time in Palermo. My background allows me to offer a deeper reading of the city, not only pointing you towards places, but helping you understand their meaning, their context, and how they connect within Palermo’s unique urban and cultural fabric. From historic streets to vibrant markets, from street art to everyday life, I’ll guide you in building a coherent and enriching experience, even before you arrive. I also focus on helping you create memorable moments through your own journey: recommending local food experiences, authentic spots, and alternative routes that go beyond the standard paths. My goal is simple: to help you feel connected to Palermo, not just as a visitor, but as someone who truly understands and experiences the city.
