I'm Marcello U., your private tour guide in Amalfi
Guide #26215
Hi everybody, my name is Marcello. I'm specialized in high grade archeological and historical tours. Born and raised in Naples and belonging to a very old Neapolitan famiIy I've got the official license of Professional Tour Guide in 2000. Archaeological and historical tours are my core business but always based on keeping my clients "AWAY FROM THE MASSIVE TOURISM". I love my job. I love my country. I love giving not simple orientations but the "real essence" of every single spot you are interested in, observing all safety measures to reduce the Covid19 diffusion. My range of activities is the whole Campania Region, including all its archaeological and historical sites, like Pompeii, Herculaneum, Napoli, Paestum, royal palaces and museums. I'm also specialized in the painting of '500 and '600, like Caravaggio, Tiziano, Raffaello, Jusepe de Ribeira, Battistello Caracciolo, and all the painters who" mastered the light". In 2015 I've got specialization in roman currency as well. I do cooperate with the U. S. Syracuse University, and over the past years, I had interesting experiences while working with some International TV productions as expert in archeology and art. Some reviews about me have been written by Kerry Mullis (Noble Price), Donna Tart (Pulitzer in 2014), Zubin Meta ( World's greatest Orchestra Director), Jude Law, Hugh Jackman, the Jobs. . . . . . . . You can see me on the CBS Sunday morning news runned on May 19th 2019 or using the link https://www. cbsnews. com/video/a-perfect-cup-of-espresso/ I also worked with Samantha Brown, american documentary maker, for the documentary 'Passport to Europe' and recently I've been working for the worldwide magazine Conde N'Est Traveler as local expert in history. What else I can say, this is what I do with passion and responsibility……. . and always having a lot of fun. - Licensed Professional Tour Guide by Regione Campania Aut. n. 4071 - High Specialization Course in "Pompeii and the Sub-Vesuvian Roman Cities" - CFE, Cambridge First Certificate, British Council Institute of Naples None

Marcelo was awesome. He kept us away from the crazy crowds, explained everything and more. This was far superior to a tour by a different agency that we took in Rome. Marcelo was personable, attentive to our requests, and adaptable. Great guy and great guide.

We had a great tour of Pompeii with Marcello. He was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the history and significance of everything we were seeing without making it feel overwhelming or boring.

Marcello was a fantastic guide! Knowledgeable, friendly and interesting. His English was perfect and he gave lots of information while never “lecturing” us. He made us really understand what life was like in Pompeii. We appreciated that he was happy to take group photos and he got us to our lunch reservation right on time. You’re guaranteed to have a great tour with...

Marcelo was an incredible tour guide through Pompeii, even for the people that had visited previously felt like it was an entirely new experience. You can tell he’s truly passionate about the history of Pompeii and it created a fulfilling and engaging learning environment. We were very relieved to have an expert driver through the Amalfi Coast, as it was a sight not to be...
