Overview

The ways of taste more than a simple tour, it is a real journey to discover the knowledge and flavors of this magnificent land that is Cilento. I designed and realized this tour to share with you the excellences of this territory, between history, culture and gastronomy. I have selected the best companies of wines, extra virgin olive oil, buffalo mozzarella and Cilento white fig and you will discover the history of each one, you will visit the working environments, but above all you will delight your palate with products with unique flavors. I will also tell you a story from 2500 years ago, thanks to a guided tour of the archaeological site of the ancient Greek-Roman city of Paestum and the treasures preserved in the National Museum. Only at the end of this tour, away from stress, and enjoying the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet, can you say that you have really known and discovered a rich and pristine land, a true human destination: the Cilento!

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Paestum Ancient city of Campania situated near the Tyrrhenian coast, south of Salerno: it was one of the main centers of Magna Graecia. The oldest traces of human settlement on the site date back to the Paleolithic; more consistent are the testimonies relating to the Bronze Age (see culture of Gaudo). Around 600 BCE, Greek colonists from Sibari founded a city, which they named Posidonia, and built the great sanctuary of Hera just north, near the mouth of the Sele river. At the end of the 5th century BC Paestum was conquered by the Lucanians, under whom it lived a period of prosperity and reached its maximum territorial expansion; in 273 BC the Romans established their own colony, changing the name of the city to the current one

A rich tour of our Italian roots

Our "roots" tour with Nikola to explore my husband's ancestral homeland was so amazing. He provided the background of the Cilento region while driving us up into the mountains and into the small, old village of Sassano. Then, over the course of the full day we explored the streets, walking where my husband's great grandparents would have walked, spending time where they would have worshipped, and touching the very doors they might have walked through before emigrating to the US. We spoke with locals, found very distantly connected relatives and enjoyed a lovely locally sourced lunch. And to top off this whole wonderful experience we had dinner with his family the next day. Such a rich, delightful experience. Thank you Nikola!!

The warmest, accommodating personal, fun and knowledgeable experience!

Nicola and the team made every moment of our tour special. He thought of everything! Even had a wheel chair because he knew I had a knee issue and wanted to be sure I didn’t get tired or sore. He was passionate about the area and we could feel the joy! Plus he surprised us with an anniversary gift to remember the day !

An Unforgettable, Personalized Journey Through Cilento

Our experience with Nikola was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, his attention to detail was on another level—every element of the day felt thoughtfully curated and tailored specifically to us. What truly set this apart was how intimate and immersive the experience felt. Nikola guided us through the beautiful Cilento region, creating a journey full of surprises and unforgettable moments. Highlights included exploring ancient ruins in Paestum, an incredible visit to a local buffalo mozzarella farm, and a private wine tasting that was both educational and indulgent. But beyond the destinations themselves, it was Nikola’s genuine commitment to our experience that stood out most. He constantly checked in, asked for feedback, and adjusted along the way to make sure everything exceeded expectations. It never felt like a “tour”—it felt like a thoughtfully crafted experience built entirely around us. If you’re traveling to the Cilento region and want something truly special, this is it. Highly recommend without hesitation.

The most amazing trip of our holiday.

With my wife and friends, I went on holiday to Napoli and Paestom. We visited Vesuvio, Pompei, Capri and the Amalfi Coast. We enjoyed many trips around the region. The most amazing trip we experienced was the one with Masaniello Tourist -TOUR LE VIE DEL GUSTO....! Nicola was just brilliant with his program and his personality. The day was full of new experiences and surprises. He fulfilled all our wishes and expectations. Thanks, my dear. John, Lydia, Alois and Beni

An absolutely fantastic experience with Masaniello Tours!

An absolutely fantastic experience with Nicola of Masaniello Tours. The day included visits to a buffalo mozzarella farm, a family owned winery, as well as a white fig producer- each one was a real gem. It was clear that Nicola has forged strong relationships in the area which gave us access to the very best artisans. He took great care to ensure the tour met and exceeded our expectations. We have travelled extensively and would not hesitate to recommend Nicola and Masaniello tours to everyone! Thank you for an absolutely wonderful experience!
