Born and bred in Bari (capital of the Puglia region in Italy’s heel), Giovanni Guadalupi graduated with a Degree in Foreign Languages and Literature (English) at the University of Bari. He later specialized in Tourism, Sport and Leisure Sociology, then traveled to Cambridge University where he earned the Certificate of Proficiency in English (in which he is fluent). Giovanni spent a period of time in Rome, working in women’s fashion and as an interpreter and translator for a comics publishing house. Eventually he followed his heart, moved back to Bari and became a qualified tour guide in Puglia and a skilled tour manager across Europe.
Giovanni has over 20 years’ experience in the travel industry and still works with the same passion and enthusiasm with which he began. He thrives on introducing guests to the incredible wealth of art, history and culture that Puglia has to offer.
