the volcano Vesuvius

Today we will visit one of the most incredible places in Italy and Europe: the volcano Vesuvius. It is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, due to its explosive nature and the amount of people who live around it.

    10 out of 10! Gaetano was the most amazing guide — our tour of Southern Italy was absolutely perfect from start to finish! If you’re looking for an authentic Italian experience filled with delicious food, welcoming locals, and unforgettable off-the-beaten-path adventures, Gaetano is the guide for you. We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to plan our next Italian journey… I think a Puglia food & wine tour might have to be next! Grazie mille, Gaetano — sei il migliore! 🥰🇮🇹🙏✨

    I highly recommend Gaetano Barone and GOINITALY Tours! This is the second tour I have taken with Gaetano. The first one was a small group 9 day pre organized tour in Puglia and this recent tour was a 9 day 3 person curated tour just for myself and two friends in the Compania region and Cilento area! We agreed on 2 home bases, one in Cava de Tirreni, a hillside town, just 35-45 mins from Naples and another at a GORGEOUS and RELAXING Agriturismo Farm-house Corte di Plano in Santa Barbara di Ceraso! All the food was delicious and accommodations were lovely and quite comfortable!! Gaetano is easy to travel with, knowledgeable, fun, friendly and considerate! A Great mix of beautiful gardens, art, nature, hiking, incredible history, less touristy local sights, lovely generous people and fabulous food!! Grazie Mille Gaetano for another FABULOUS TRIP!

    Gaetano put together the most amazing 10 day package for us. He drove us everywhere and made sure our accommodations and food were perfect. He took us places we wouldn’t have even thought about that were off the beaten path. We didn’t have to do anything but enjoy ourselves! We had a great time, shared lots of laughs and created wonderful memories. Definitely recommend!

    My son and I hiked The Path of the Gods last year, and it was an amazing experience. We had Gaetano to accompany us, and it was well worthy. Gaetano is very friendly; he knows extremely well the history of the area and he is very much engaged with the local communities. Apart from the breath-taking view around every bend, the highlight of the hike was a visit to an old shepherd’s hut. The local sheep man was very kind to offer us some goat cheese, salami, and homemade bread. As you can see my son was very pleased. I highly recommend Gaetano if you want to visit this part of Italy.

    Gaetano is an extraordinary guide and took us on the Path of the Gods hike in October. He’s friendly, knowledgeable & was attentive to our safety. The views are spectacular, especially when you reach the point for a full panoramic view of the Amalfi coast. Gaetano had many interesting facts he shared about the history of this region and we had a delicious lunch at the Shepard’s home just off the path. This was quite an experience filled with musical instruments for all to join in, lunch from their garden and great homemade wine. Gaetano is well-connected and experienced…and fun!! We had a wonderful time! Lisa & Gary G.

    My positive experience with GoInItaly started well before we arrived in the Amalfi coast. I was wary initially because I knew nothing about this tour company. I corresponded with Gaetano via email multiple times firming up the details of our private Path of the Gods hike. He was patient and thorough when answering my many questions. The more we communicated, the more confident I became that I was making the right choice. It turned out that he was an incredible find! Gaetano was extremely personable and knowledgeable. He turned our hike, our experience at the Shepard’s Hut and transport to/from our lodging into a highlight and extremely memorable part of our trip. Later in our stay, on a questionable weather day, Gaetano picked up 6 of us and turned this gray day into a fun filled adventure. Not only did he take us to view some requested tourist spots, like the Fiordo di Furore and Grotta dello Smeraldo, but when the weather did not cooperate and the crowds were too large in Amalfi, he saved the day by rerouting us to explore some smaller towns like Maiori where we enjoyed lunch and the gorgeous ocean views. I would recommend that you utilize Gaetano’s services for any of the activities outlined on the GoInItaly webpage or for any customized touring adventures that you might dream up on your own.

    Gaetano guided us from Sorrento to Positano to Almalfi, where we hiked to the Mills Valley. The hike was beautiful and included historic sites. He arranged for us to have lunch on a farm — such a nice change from crowded restaurants and so delicious! Gaetano is both knowledgeable and easy to be with. We thoroughly enjoyed his company. Our day with him was one of our favorite experiences during our two week vacation in Italy. Highly recommend!
