Great driver, made our last day in Italy wonderful
Gaetano was an excellent driver, who arrived early to get us from the Napoli train station and drove us to Pompeii where we had a private guide, to an excellent lunch, and then to Positano, and to Sorrento where we were spending the night. He was friendly, informative (he did tell us some things we knew already but we were on our last day of the trip, so other guides had told us some things) and he didn't hesitate to help my mother with her suitcase or take our picture. He had water for us, and the van was very nice, clean, and air conditioned. We needed a ride to the airport the next morning and he quoted us a price slightly cheaper than the hotel said a taxi would be, and was nice enough to put our rented wifi in the mail for us. He also brought us directly to the location where we needed to check in at the airport which was so helpful. His English is great and I would not hesitate to book him again!
Hands down – the best experience travelling through Italy I got in Napoli and on Amalfi Coast with one and only Gaetano! He was recommended to me by a local guide, whom I’ve used whilst in Rome – Mathilda (another gem of a guides). Gaetano isn’t just your usual Guide, he’s also your privet driver – of a Mercedes Van or Vespa scooter – pick your favourite, or actually, live a little and trust this stranger when she tells you – you need both!!! For completely different experiences! And oh boy experience it was! The beast and most important thing about Gaetano is that he is NOT Italian BUT born and bread Neapolitan, with knowledge of the whole of Campanile Region, Amalfi Coast, Ischia, Capri and of course the whole of Naples city. He’s your man for when you feel like doing unique, off the beaten path vine testing, standing at the feet of the Mighty Vesuvius!
When olive oil or limoncello testing tickles your fancy – Gaetano knows it ALL!
The not so fancy in decor but with mouth weathering dishes local restaurants – he knows those too! He knows where they are, he knows families that owe them and so dinners there turn into one big food celebration! So if you can treat yourself to a bit of a luxury ask Gaetano to plan your visit!!!
You’ll leave with the best pictures, memories, new friends and mozzarella from the Napoli airport – that he’d tell you to buy – DO IT!
After a 3 week stay in Campania, I returned to Poland happy, full of great memories, and rich in vast knowledge about the history, culture and life in this region – all thanks to Gaetano @yourdriverinitaly. He was who was my guide, driver, advisor and expert in the Neapolitan culture and traditions.
He picked me up from the airport and already the way to the hotel was full of great stories about Naples, it’s history, people and everyday customs. Gaetano knew endless amount of anecdotes regarding old days – which would be very difficult to find in the official guides.
It was thanks to Gaetano that I was able to fulfill my sightseeing plan in 100%, without his help it would be impossible.
We visited the whole of Naples and its most beautiful places but also areas that are less available and known by tourists. Thanks to his advice and suggestions, I discovered wonderful, non-touristic restaurants and cafes. Because of his help and commitment, I was able to see many places away from Naples – I looked into the crater of Vesuvius, visited Pompeii, followed the footsteps of the main character of Elena Ferrante’s novel, tasted wine on the foot of the volcano.
Gaetano knew where they serve the best coffee, where it is worth popping in for a delicious Margherita pizza. Since I was traveling alone this time, he always wrote to me and checked if I was okay which made me I feel safe and assured that I could count on his help in any situation.
Punctual, responsible, always smiling and kind. A sensational driver. He always remembered to book admission tickets, helpful in planning the route and purchasing tickets.
I wholeheartedly recommend @yourdriverinitaly. Your trip will gain in quality and safety, you will discover thousands of places, you will get acquainted with history, geography, learn about the habits of Neapolitans, you will eat delicious food and drink wine straight from the vineyards under Vesuvius
I cannot recommend Gaetano enough! Traveling as a single female on my first trip overseas, Gaetano was truly a lifesaver. He picked me up right outside my gate at the airport with a sign with my name. On our way to Sorrento, Gaetano was kind enough to give me a heads up that one area I booked an AirBnb in for the end of my trip was maybe not the best choice. I’m so happy I took his advice! I ended up spending that time in Napoli which was some of the greatest time during my trip. After dropping me off at my hotel in Sorrento for the first 5 days of my trip, Gaetano picked me up at the Napoli central train station at the end of the week. This is a busy station, but Gaetano was right there when I got outside. Next, Gaetano took me on a trip around the less traveled parts of Napoli while also showing me the lay of the land in the busy area near my hotel. This was truly an amazing experience! Gaetano took me to a locals spot for one of the best lunches of my life and was wonderful company! I felt completely safe and at ease – this is priceless in a foreign country. After a few days in Napoli, Gaetano picked me up at 3:45 a.m to take me back to the airport. Most drivers that I contacted for quotes simply would not pick me up that early.
In addition to Gaetano’s world class service, he is simply a genuinely nice human being. He checked in on my via WhatsApp for the duration of my trip to make sure I was ok and ready to provide any recommendations I needed. In sum, Gaetano made my trip and if you are considering who to call for your trip to the Napoli area, look no further!
An absolute gem!! My mom and I booked our tour online and had a blast with Gaetano – he had the best recommendations. Our trip to Amalfi coast was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Italy.
What a great day and a great guide. GAETANO was the best! Took us down the Almalfi coast and stopped at a lemon cello factory along the way and then to a family owned restaurant in Pasitano where the amazing view continued. GAETANO is very knowledgeable about the area and the love for his hometown of Napoli was obvious❤️ Next time in Napoli, GAETANO is our guide
Hats off to the best driver in Napoli- Sir Gaetano Sollazzo!
He was on time to pick me and my wife up, he was thoughtful to bring us for breakfast before the magical tour began and he was not only knowledgeable in his work but also, he knows how to entertain us with his wicked good sense of humour!!
He is the the people’s person and he even planned a route for us to tour the beautiful city of Naples the next day!!
How awesome! He went an extra mile just for a stranger like us! That speaks volume about his character and sincerity. Thank you for having and making us such a VIP and we look forward to c him again in future!
Reliable, professional & honest driver/tour guide!
Gaetano was very professional, honest and reliable. He is a very safe driver and cared for the well-being of everyone in the van, especially our young daughter. He is a family man with children of his own, so he truly understood what travelling with children and family meant. Fully safety first. The sites he brought us to were breathtaking and the ease at which he drove us there was comforting. He was able to deliver what the tour promised and more. We had him on two different site seeing tour days, the Amalfi Coast and Pompei. Lovely! He was also very punctual, arriving even before the agreed-upon time. He made my family’s experience a wonderfully memorable one! We will definitely be using his services again in the future! Grazie mille Gaetano!
LWe used this service during our stay in Naples in Italy . Gaetano turned out to be a very honest, reliable and professional driver. He really cares about his customers making the whole experience unique and very safe. He gives 110% and he’s very social and punctual. We had the chance to use his services twice ,once for a full day along the spectacular Amalfi coast and another time to visit the breathtaking archeological site of Pompei. We were a group of 5 people including one child under the age of ten. Gaetano was accommodating and he always went the extra mile to ensure every stop was comfortable and that we had enough time to visit Individual places with ease. We had a great time and we made a good friend! We’ll definitely be using his services again next time we visit. Grazie Gaetano, ci vediamo la prossima volta!
Me and my family were at Amalfi and Paestum on 8/14/2018 and it was the best day ever. Our driver Gaetano is very much recommended. The restaurant with a nice view which he helped book was great. The Italian music in the van made it memorable.
The driver gaetano.was very helpful and the trip was very impressive. The driver was smiling and helpful. He gave us all the information about the Amalfi coast and spoke English in a wonderful way .
Gaetano was very informative and had wonderfully helpful recommendations on where to eat, shop and visit. The visit to Pompeii and the Bosco De Medici winery was great and well organised. Highly recommend!
Thanks Marco!!! ♥️☀️
Had a great day at Napoli (Symphony of the Seas; June 2018) thanks to driver Marco who took us to Ravello, Amalfi, Positano, and Pompeii.
Ravello was a pretty little town but not necessarily a must-see. Amalfi and Positano were much nicer and we stayed for over an hour each. Pompeii was exhausting but the amphitheater photos were worth it. (The burnt bodies were interesting to look at too…)
Service of Marco was great. My mom travels in a wheelchair and Marco was always concerned and very caring…he tries to drop us at the nearest drop off/pickup point possible. He also helped my brother carry it in and out of the vehicle.
Around 10 minutes before meeting time he would call us to remind us to be back so that we would have time for all the sights and wouldn’t miss the cruise ship.
I don’t normally write reviews…but this was just too convenient and flawless–I’m happy I didn’t book a shore excursion through the $hip.
Would totally recommend and I would get their services again when I come back.
Enjoy your vacation!
We went on Amalfi Coast day trip on 27/03/2018. Our Guide was Gaetano who was very friendly, professional and very Informative. He explained the history of South Italy and all places where we were going to visit. He show up at train station in Naples on time and drive us to our first destination Sorento and gave us free time to explore the city. Then from Sorento we drive to Positano and had our lunch and did shopping. One thing which we did not expect was, He took us to Olive oil factory which was very good experience. And then we went to Pompeii and returned back to Naples to catch the train. I would highly recommend him if you are planning trip to Amalfi Coast.
Tha KS Gaetano for your wonderful services.
We took services of Gaetano (yourdriverinitaly.com) during our trip to Amalfi coast in October 2015. It was a wonderful experience for us. He was extremely professional and efficient and we had a wonderful time. He tried to give the best services and best advice on using our time during that trip, even sacrificing his business interests. One thing I admired was that he never asked for any advance and trusted us for showing up on the day of the trip at Naples. I would highly recommend his services if you are planning a trip to Amalfi coast or the vicinity.
We had a day trip from Napoli to Amalfi Coast 31/5/17, our driver Marco was very informative, friendly but professional. The day started with Pompai then onto Sorento, Positano where Marco had booked a seat at an Italian restaurant for lunch with panoramic views, this was very special & unexpected. If there was any questions to be answered Marco knew the answer, thank you Marco for making our dream to go to the Amalfi Coast a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend you to any of our friends travelling to Italy.
