Licensed Tour Guide
About me
I am Angelo Petillo, a licensed tour guide, and for years I have been guiding visitors to discover the main archaeological sites of Campania.
My work stems from a deep passion for history and the region I live in. For me, sharing places like Paestum, Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Velia means opening up an extraordinary heritage, making it accessible, engaging, and fascinating for everyone.
Over time, I have gained extensive experience with groups, families, and individual visitors, tailoring every tour to the needs of those before me, with a clear, direct, and never tedious approach. Each site is an integral part of a broader territory that I love to weave into my storytelling.
My international perspective is rooted in my childhood: I grew up bilingual in Germany, a background that allowed me to develop an open mind toward different cultures from an early age. Following my German studies in Tourism Economics, I built a solid career in the sector, working for many years in dynamic and highly multicultural environments. Collaborating with hotels and event agencies, I held roles of responsibility, refining my organizational skills and commitment to guest care.
For over twenty years, I have chosen to put all this experience at the service of my true calling, working as a certified tour guide with unchanged passion. In recent years, in particular, I have decided to focus my activity on Cilento, my homeland: a region rich in nuances, traditions, and authentic beauty that I love to help those who trust in me discover and experience to the fullest.
More than just a tour
My phylosophy
Every guided tour is designed to be an authentic experience. It is not just about giving explanations, but about helping you truly understand each place through stories, fascinating trivia, and connections that bring everything to life.
I deeply believe in the power of human connection: listening, adapting, and creating a genuine dialogue with those who join me is what makes every single tour unique.
Alongside the archaeological itineraries, I also offer experiences tied to the region, such as meeting local producers, tastings, and moments dedicated to discovering time-honored traditions. A complete, 360-degree journey to truly experience these places.
