I am Giovanni Sirabella and I would like to tell you something about myself. I was born in 1960 on Ischia, a lovely small island in the gulf of Naples, less than 20 miles from Capri, our more popular sister. Tourism is of course the main activity of the island and since I was a small boy, I soon felt very comfortable in living with and dealing with people from all over the word, just dreaming to have a lot of fun and very good time on our island. Asa consequence, it came easily and very naturally to me to start to work in the tourism business. With my friend Luciano, I started to lead groups by sea using our small boat, and by land with a very basic van we hired with our first money. Then, looking for new experiences and adventures, I had the luck to work as a purser on wonderful cruise ships like the Achille Lauro and Italia Prima, sailing all over the word, leading groups on shore excursions to the most wonderful sites of the planet. In 1990, I was a little tired of that and I moved onto dry land again. My dream was to move to Tuscany, the most wonderful countryside in the world. I first worked for EF educational tours from Boston, then for Overseas Adventure Travel, then I finally founded my small company, Sunflower Tours, organising private tours and shore excursions for groups of 2-7 people. And I am still doing this, with the same enthusiasm as when I was a small boy. I love what I am doing and I cannot have a better job. Come to see me and let’s have a good time!” Giovanni is an English-speaking driver-guide who leads tours by minibus and car all over Tuscany, including wine tours and specialising in shore excursions from the cruise ship port of Livorno, and in tours of the Cinque Terre and Portofino.
