Who I am
Home » Who I am
My name is Alessandra Di Mauro, and I am a licensed Archaeologist and Tourist Guide for the Region of Puglia and the city of Matera. I chose to become a tour guide to express my deep and authentic connection with this land rich in history and beauty.
Ever since I was a child, I have cultivated a passion for exploring small towns and large Italian cities, thanks to the many trips I undertook with my family.
On school trips, I was always in the front row, fascinated by the stories the guides told in front of palaces, frescoes and paintings, which to my eyes appeared grand and amazing.
This wonder and passion for art and history have accompanied me throughout my life.
In order to deepen these passions of mine, I pursued a degree in Cultural Heritage with a focus on archaeology.
Later, eager to turn this love of culture into a profession, I obtained my license as a tour guide.
Personalized, multi-language, passion-filled guided tours
My guided tours are the result of constant preparation and a continuous desire for improvement.
I create tailor-made itineraries, adapting to the specific needs and requests of visitors.
Thanks to my studies in foreign languages, I can also conduct tours in Puglia and Matera in French, English and Spanish.
Every year, meeting people of different nationalities enriches my work, adding invaluable value to my profession.
The amazement, smiles and interest I see in visitors during my visits are my best reward.
I organize experiences suitable for couples, families, small groups of friends and large groups, always with the same passion and attention to detail.
Why choose my guided tours in Puglia and Matera?
- Passion: I love my work and this shines through in every guided tour I organize.

Why.

Visites guidées Matera et Lecce
Alessandra nous a fait profiter de ses connaissances de Lecce et Matera..Deux bons moments partagés avec un groupe d’amis pour mieux comprendre ces deux lieux exceptionnels avec une guide maitrisant parfaitement le francais.

Grazie Mille!
Je pense qu’on n’aurait pas pu avoir une meilleure guide qu’Alessandra. Pédagogue, passionnante, extrêmement professionnelle, j’ai été impressionnée de son savoir. Nous avions des bébés avec nous qui nous empêchaient de suivre complètement. Elle ne s’est pas montrée perturbée par cela et a continué la visite avec beaucoup de bienveillance. Je la conseille à tout le monde. Au delà de tout, elle parle un français impeccable. Une pépite des pouilles. Grazzie mille Alessandra

Un immense merci
Nous avons réalisé la visite de Lecce et Matera avec Alessandra.
Alessandra a eu à cœur de nous faire découvrir ces 2 villes et nous faire partager sa passion pour la région. Un immense merci à Alessandra pour sa gentillesse, sa disponibilité, ses très bons conseils et la richesse de ses explications tout au long de ces deux visites. Nous avons appris énormément sur l’histoire de ces 2 lieux et de la région des Pouilles en général. Son enthousiasme était communicatif et a rendu chaque visite vivante et captivante. Encore merci pour tout et au plaisir de se recroiser un jour dans cette belle région!
