I'm Luisa, a local licensed tour guide. I work in Pompeii, one of the most famous archeological sites in the world. I love traveling and discovering new destinations but most importantly, I love sharing all my knowledge concerning where I live with anyone who is interested in exploring the area like a local!
Naples, Sorrento
My name is Loris, born and raised in Naples. I studied hospitality and built my career in tourism and food, gaining international experience in renowned Italian restaurants in Paris. Back in Italy, I worked in hotels, pizzerias, bars, and restaurants, always with tourists. I also led walking food tours in Sorrento and along the Amalfi Coast, deepening my knowledge of local products and traditions. I offer authentic, personalized experiences in Naples and beyond.

Sorrento perches on dramatic cliffs above the Bay of Naples, with Vesuvius smoking across the water and Capri floating on the horizon. This elegant resort town has been drawing visitors since the Grand Tour era with its intoxicating combination of sea views, lemon groves, and a lively centro storico of boutiques, restaurants, and artisan workshops. Sorrento is famous for its limoncello—made from the enormous sfusato lemons that thrive on the terraced hillsides—and for inlaid wood marquetry, a craft tradition dating to the 14th century. Strategically positioned between Naples, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast, it's one of the best bases for exploring the entire Campania coast.
May to June or September to October. Summer is hot and crowded but vibrant. Spring brings lemon blossoms and pleasant temperatures. Many hotels close from November to March.
The Sentiero degli Dei trail starts just above Positano with jaw-dropping coastal views. A local will arrange the bus to the trailhead and a ferry back from Positano—the perfect car-free Amalfi Coast day.
Sorrento's terraced lemon groves produce the giant sfusato lemons used in limoncello. A local can arrange a visit where you walk among the trees, learn the cultivation secrets, and taste everything from lemon cake to lemon salad.
Day-trippers crowd Capri from 10am. A local will put you on the first ferry at 7:30, so you can explore the quiet island, hike to Villa Jovis, and be back in Sorrento for an evening passeggiata.
