Wandeltocht in Pizzo Calabro, juweel van de Tyrreense Zee

As the only participant, I received what could be called a "private tour" from Giuseppe: The history of the city of Pizzo, along with its historical and architectural backgrounds and connections, were explained competently and understandably. Thanks to Giuseppe's friendly guidance, the special atmosphere of this beautiful place was clearly felt after a short walk through the old town.

You will be lucky to have Giuseppe as your guide in Pizzo. He is from the area (although has traveled all over the world). As a result, he knows not only about the history and the sights in the town but also the rhythm of life there and in Calabria. You come away from the tour feeling as if, for a short time, you've gotten to know Pizzo at many different levels. It was a very memorable day.

Charming and knowledgeable guide!!! A great experience.

Pizzo is not just a stop, it is an experience to live, and this tour manages to tell it in the most authentic way possible. Between alleys full of history, breathtaking views and tales that intertwine myth and reality, every moment is designed to make you feel part of the place, not just a visitor. The organization is impeccable, the pace is engaging and never heavy, and above all you can feel the true passion of the driver. It is not the classic “postcard” tour: it is a journey into the soul of Pizzo, made of details, curiosities and glimpses that you would hardly discover on your own. Perfect both for those visiting Calabria for the first time, and for those who think they already know it. If you want to take home more than just a photo, this is the tour.

Giuseppe is a highly knowledge guide and so was able to give us a fascinating tour through the beautiful historic center of Pizzo. I recommend it to anyone who loves exploring!

Our guide, Giuseppe was a local who clearly loved his hometown. He shared stories about the town’s past, from the ancient Aragonese Castle where Napoleon’s brother-in-law, Joachim Murat, was executed, to the quiet fishing traditions still alive today. The tour wasn’t rushed. We wandered through cobbled alleyways, took in sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and stopped at tucked-away piazzas that felt like movie sets. There was plenty of time for photos and questions. We visited the Piazza della Repubblica, where locals gather day and night. It’s a lively square surrounded by cafes and gelaterias, blending history with everyday life. The only thing I want to comment on is that he didn’t wait for us despite us being on time but got a hold of him and he came back for us.

Giuseppe was personable and on time. His English skills were excellent. He showed show us a part of Pizzo we likely would not have found on our own. He was knowledgable; sharing with us a little bit of Pizzo’s history and plans for its future. He answered our many questions quite happily. And he pointed us to the best Tarfuto in town and to not miss the Church Piedigrotta which were great recommendations.

Giuseppe was already available for us in advance, which was good for us as we had a few time changes. On site he took the time and showed us the city and explained everything with a pleasant calm and serenity.

If you’re visiting Calabria, don’t miss a tour of Pizzo Calabro with Giuseppe Scuticchio! He’s a local who knows the town inside and out – from its fascinating history to hidden corners, scenic viewpoints, and the best photo spots. His passion for his hometown is contagious, and he made the experience come alive in such a special way. I did the tour with my two teenage daughters, and we all absolutely loved it. It was fun, informative, and full of personal touches that made it truly memorable. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip – a perfect mix of culture, beauty, and connection. Highly recommended!
