Raw, electric, unforgettable—the birthplace of pizza and the soul of southern Italy.
Your on-the-ground insiders. The ones who know the enduring favourites, the quiet corners and what’s worth your time.
Salerno, Naples +1
Ciao! I’m Alessia, and I’m basically your personal compass for the heart of Italy! Consider me your human GPS, but with much better taste in pizza! I graduated in Oriental Languages in Naples and I'm currently working on my Master’s in Planning and Managemnt of Tourism Systems—which is a fancy way of saying that planning perfect trips is my obsession. I’m fluent in English and Korean, and after surviving nearly a year living in the organized chaos of Seoul, I’ve developed a natural knack for logistics. I’m a local from Agropoli, just 10 minutes away from the breathtaking Greek temples of Paestum. Think of it as the 'Secret VIP Entrance' to the Cilento Coast—perfectly positioned to explore the authentic South, while still being within easy reach of Salerno and Naples. We are just south of Salerno and the famous Amalfi Coast, but with way more authentic vibes (and much better prices!)

Rome, Naples
My name is Francesca, and I’m an Art Historian and photographer based in Rome, specializing in Roman archaeology, as well as Renaissance and Baroque art. With Rome as my home and main source of inspiration, I design experiences that reveal the country through its art, history, culture, and everyday life, shaping each itinerary around my clients’ interests, pace, and travel style. My approach is rooted in thoughtful exploration: I craft journeys that immerse travelers in local traditions and hidden places, connecting them with experiences shaped by the people who live there. As a passionate lover of nature-focused travel, I also curate recommendations for natural parks, secluded beaches, and immersive hiking trails, offering a deeper connection to Italy’s landscapes beyond its cities. Italy offers an extraordinary cultural and culinary heritage, and stepping off the beaten path opens the door to rare and meaningful encounters—moments untouched by mass tourism and rich in character. I’m here to help you experience Italy in a more genuine, memorable, and personal way.
Naples, Amalfi
5.0(3)Hi everyone! I'm Renato, but you can call me Reni. I was born and raised between the charming city of Naples and the fabulous Amalfi Coast. I work as an import/export professional, and in my spare time, I love exploring new places, reading, running, and surfing. I have lived in Australia, Brazil, and China for a long time - aka, I know what it feels like to be a foreigner :) I speak six languages (Italian, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Chinese) and I love to interact with people from different cultural and social backgrounds. As a spontaneous, curious and open-minded individual, I would like you to experience the places I love at their best, and make the most out of your trip. In short, I will do whatever I can to make your trip unforgettable.
Bologna, Naples +2
Hi, I’m Elisabeth. I live in Italy and I’ve always been deeply connected to the rhythms of everyday life here—slow walks through historic streets, good food shared without rush, and small details that most travellers might miss. I love exploring places both like a local and like a curious outsider: from hidden cafés and traditional bakeries to quiet corners where you can really feel the atmosphere of a city. I’ve spent a lot of time discovering how to enjoy Italian life in a balanced, authentic way—whether that means finding the right spot for a relaxed meal, a scenic walk, or simply a peaceful moment away from the crowds. I’m especially drawn to culture, storytelling, and traditions, particularly from southern Italy, so I naturally bring a more emotional and immersive perspective to travel. If you’re looking to experience a place beyond the typical tourist path, I’ll help you see it with different eyes.
Naples is not for the faint-hearted. It's loud, chaotic, crumbling, and absolutely magnificent. This is the city that invented pizza, where Caravaggio fled and painted some of his greatest works, where underground Greek and Roman cities lie beneath your feet, and where Vesuvius provides a constant reminder that life is short. The centro storico—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—is one of the largest in Europe, a grid of narrow streets (decumani) lined with baroque churches, skull-filled catacombs, and the world's best street food. Beyond the grit, Naples has extraordinary museums, a glamorous waterfront, and a food culture so fierce it borders on religious.
April to June or September to October. Summer is scorching. Spring is perfect for combining city sightseeing with Vesuvius hikes. December brings spectacular Christmas nativity scenes (presepi) throughout the city.
Beneath Naples lies an entire Greek-Roman city of tunnels, cisterns, and theatres. A local knows the best underground tours—from Napoli Sotterranea to the Bourbon Tunnel—and the hidden entrances most tourists miss.
Skip the famous spots with two-hour queues. A local will take you to the neighbourhood pizzeria their family has gone to for decades—where the pizza is just as extraordinary and the experience is entirely Neapolitan.
The Fontanelle Cemetery is a vast ossuary in a cave where Neapolitans once 'adopted' skulls and prayed to them. A local can explain this unique folk tradition and combine it with a walk through the atmospheric Sanità quarter.
