Diego è stato un ottima guida, molto attento alle descrizioni e allo stesso tempo socievole e colloquiale. È stato interessante e divertente, perlustrale il centro di Bologna seguendo le sue indicazioni. Lo consigliamo è un ottimo accompagnatore :) Diego was an excellent guide, very attentive to his descriptions and at the same time sociable and conversational. It was interesting and fun, exploring the center of Bologna following his directions. We highly recommend him; he's an excellent guide :)

Within 3 hours we got an impressive insight and overview of Napoli. Armando is an excellent guide who managed to share the flavor of Napoli. From historical background, to architecture, food specialties, importance of football, development of the city and the improvement of safety until the special dialect and breathtaking view over the bay of Napoli to the Vesuv. It not a boring lecture but a very lively tour !

Suggested meeting point

Piazza Sant'Antonino | Sorrento, Piazza Sant'Antonino, 9, 80067 Sorrento NA, Italy

Monastero di Santa Maria delle Grazie

A convent garden of stillness, stone, and distant song

Secrets in Sorrento: Gardens, Shrines and Streets You’d Miss

A few turns from the meeting point lies a convent garden most people miss. Its silence holds the scent of drying herbs, old stone, and beeswax. A hymn may drift past, or not. It doesn't matter. This is where you begin to feel how far you've stepped from the crowds.

Vico II San Cesareo – Everyday Rituals

A lived-in alley where time moves more slowly

This alley isn’t famous, but it’s full of life. Shrines in corners, balconies with tomatoes hanging to dry, soft voices in dialect. A lace-maker might wave you in. A crumbling arch may hide a lemon grove. Here, time stretches out.

Largo Parsano Vecchio

A stone bench above the forgotten edge of old Sorrento

Behind a scooter repair shop and school wall is a bench above ancient stone. The Greek-Roman city’s edge lies quietly below, no plaque, no fanfare. Just garden, wall, sea, sky. You may stay a while or just let the view pass through you. The stillness does the rest.

Vicolo della Pietà – The Soundless Street

A shadowed lane where sound softens and scent lingers

They say this street has no echo, and it feels true. Ferns spill from windowsills. Basil brushes your arm. Somewhere, sauce simmers. You might glimpse an old perfumier’s open door, or maybe not.

Optional Close: Hidden Terrace Above Piazza Tasso

A quiet rooftop café known mostly to locals

If time and mood align, your host may lead you through a plain door and up a stair, onto a café terrace above the square that no one below can see. Locals come here to write, think, breathe. There’s no menu sign. Just the quiet of knowing you’ve found something others didn’t.

Your FAQs

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

Dalit was an excellent guide for Copenhagen. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and quite passionate about Copenhagen and showed us a few ‘hidden gems’ away from other tourists. She was always full of interesting facts and fascinating stories which made the city come alive. She let us have a cake tasting when we visited the food market! We extended our tour with her in order to spend more time with her. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip and we would highly recommend her.

Jessica

Nico was terrific. Showed us all the highlights we were interested in. Was very knowledgeable and accommodating of our groups needs. Nico was kind and made the information engaging and fun. Would highly recommend this tour and Nico.

Terri

Jill was a fantastic tour guide! She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk with. We all really enjoyed getting to know her and learning all about Paris from an insider. I highly recommend her!
